Listed as priorities are security vestibules at all of the school buildings, a new multipurpose facility and technology upgrades at the high school, among other improvements and repairs to other facilities.Proposition F — The Warrenton Fire Protection District is seeking a 15-cent property tax increase to allow the district to have paid staff on all shifts, along with providing funds for upgraded equipment and training. A similar measure was defeated by voters in 2014.Wright City question — Wright City is asking voters to approve a $1.5 million bond issue to purchase a former church property on Westwoods Road and convert it to a new city hall and renovate the existing city hall. The proposal will increase personal property and real estate taxes by no more than 20 cents per $100 of assessed valuation. Voters narrowly rejected the same ballot measure last year.Sales tax proposal — Known as Proposition 1 in Warrenton and Truesdale, and also being decided in Innsbrook, this measure is asking voters to allow all three municipalities to continue receiving sales tax on the purchases of motor vehicles, trailers, boats and outboard motors made out of state. The ballot language is confusing, as voters must oppose the measure in order for the cities to continue receiving the additional sales tax revenue.Warrenton annexation — The city is asking voters to extend the western boundary down the I-70 corridor from the Highway A/B overpass to near the Budget Inn motel. Currently the city’s western boundary stops on the eastern side of the overpass. The proposal is only for the interstate and surrounding right of way.Foristell Proposition F — A 1-cent fuel tax increase is sought to create additional funding for transportation needs in the city. The same measure was defeated in 2015.No oppositionThere are no board races in Truesdale and Foristell or for two spots on the Wright City R-II School Board.Shalene Blackwood and Christopher Watson were the only candidates to file for board of aldermen seats in Truesdale. Blackwood is an incumbent.In Foristell, Mark Meyerhoff and John Pickering were the only candidates to file for alderman seats in Ward 1 and Ward 2, respectively.Also running unopposed are Wright City R-II school board members Austin Jones and Mary Groeper and Village of Pendleton trustee candidates Ashlee Pottebaum and Rebecca KilpatrickLocal Election Guide
