Boulder County invited residents to a July 23 hearing on a possible childcare and early-education ballot measure. The July 16 notice outlined a proposed property-tax increase of 2.579 mills.
The county said the money would be aimed at lowering family costs, expanding licensed infant and toddler care, and increasing compensation for early-childhood staff. Those were the proposal’s intended uses, not measured results.
Residents could comment in person, online, by phone or in writing. Commissioners were to decide after public input whether to refer a measure to the November election. This archive covers the hearing stage; the later referral and election were separate steps.
