The non-binding public question asks if voters wish to authorize the establishment of a Municipal Trust Fund for the acquisition, development, maintenance, and preservation of lands for recreation and conservation purposes and for the acquisition of farmland and historic properties for preservation. The fund would also cover the payment of debt service for the purchase of any of these properties. Property owners would be taxed annually at $0.01 per $100 of assessed value to fund this program, which would extend for five years. Doris E. Lucas Joel N. Stallings
