At its Aug. 26 meeting City Council approved calling a special election Nov. 4 to reauthorize a quarter cent sales tax to be used to pay for municipal street maintenance and repair.

According to the Texas Tax Code, voters must approve the street maintenance sales tax every four years. Georgetown voters first approved the sales tax in 2002.

The quarter cent sales tax will raise an estimated $2.05 million in revenue in the 201415 fiscal year, or about 55 percent of the Georgetown street departments projected budget, according to city documents.
