Voters in Anchorage will vote on more than $102 million of general obligation bond authorizations Tuesday.
The bonds are split into seven ballot measures, the largest being a $44.8 million request for road and drainage projects.
The city’s school district has two bond measures on the ballot, one for $34.3 million to finance renovations for two schools and planning for another renovation, and a $9.4 million measure for district-wide school repairs.
The $9.4 million school measure would qualify for 70% debt service reimbursement from the state government, while the larger request would qualify for 60% reimbursement. School district officials take pains to note that the amount of new debt they are seeking is just a bit less than the amount the district retired since its previous bond election. In that April 2007 referendum, voters approved all $134 million of bond requests, including $85 million for schools.
Anchorage voters will also elect six of their 11 Assembly members and two of the seven school board members.
