The Oak Valley Hospital District is seeking a $27 million general obligation bond measure in a vote-by-mail election that will be decided Tuesday.
The hospital district, based in Oakdale in Stanislaus County, is returning to voters after obtaining approval of a $37 million bond measure in 2004.
Hospital officials told the Modesto Bee they need additional bond authorization because the estimated costs of building a planned replacement hospital structure have soared in the last four years.
The district is also using revenue bonds to finance the project.
