The new bond proposal reduces the net impact to taxpayers by .6 mills, from a proposed total debt tax rate of 4.76 mills in 2018 to a proposed total debt tax rate of 4.16 mills in 2019.

Two things impacted the reduction of the deb tax rate: The District paid off an existing bond debt, which lowered the debt tax rate in 2018 to 2.80 mills. The District also reduced the total project scope of the bond by 21%, from the $50.7M to $39.9M.
