(KAIR)--Following a presentation, including an outline of the results of a 2021 community survey cited as the reason for a proposed Atchison referendum to levy a 1-percent sales tax, Atchison City Commissioners approved the resolution 4 to allowing for that vote to take place. Commissioner Larry Wilcox was the lone no vote, not in opposition to the referendum itself, but in agreement with public comment that more time could be allowed for the vote. 

A separate resolution, approved unanimously, allocates 75-percent of the funds generated by the sales tax for infrastructure and the additional 25-percent for property tax relief. 
A July 14 mail-in vote is set.
