St. Joseph residents will have a chance to choose a mayor, two council members and three school-board members in the upcoming election. Voters will also have a chance to mark yes or no to a request for extension of the half-cent sales tax.

The following is what City of St. Joseph voters will see on the Nov. 4 Election Day ballots. The candidates, in the following order, were taken directly from a sample ballot from the Office of the Minnesota Secretary of State.

The ballots for voters in St. Joseph Township will closely resemble the ballots for St. Joseph city voters, except there will be no candidates for mayor or city council, and there will not be the referendum question about the regional half-cent sales tax.

CITY QUESTION:

EXTENSION OF ONE-HALF PERCENT SALES TAX.

Explanation: The residents of St. Joseph, Sartell, St. Augusta, St. Cloud, Sauk Rapids and Waite Park currently collect a ½-percent sales-and-use tax which will expire on Dec. 31, 2018. The State Legislature has authorized the extension of the existing ½-percent sales-and-use tax for the aforementioned cities through 2038, subject to voter approval in each city.

If St. Joseph voters approve an extension, the first $900,000 collected annually will be used to fund the jointly funded regional projects identified below with the remaining annual sales-tax funds distributed in the area cities pursuant to a Joint Powers Agreement. Based on the Joint Powers Agreement, St. Joseph will receive approximately $1.42 for every dollar collected in St. Joseph.

JOINTLY FUNDED REGIONAL PROJECTS:

Regional trails – Interconnection of trail system, not to exceed $500,000 annually; Regional community/aquatics center, not to exceed $200,000 annually; Regional Airport, not to exceed $200,000 annually.

ST. JOSEPH REGIONAL PROJECTS: The development, acquisition, and improvement of:

Regional Transportation Improvements and related infrastructure in an amount not to exceed $10 million of the tax revenue received by the City of St. Joseph. Examples can include, but are not limited to: streets, roads, related infrastructure and mass-transit projects.

Regional Community Facilities in an amount not to exceed $8 million of the tax revenue received by the City of St. Joseph. Examples can include, but are not limited to: community center, senior center, historical center and branch library.

Regional Parks, Trails, Open Space and related facilities in an amount not to exceed $4 million of the tax revenue received by the City of St. Joseph. Examples can include, but are not limited to: adding bathroom facilities, water amenities, expanding shelters and development of Sauk River Park.

Shall the City of St. Joseph be authorized to continue the collection of a ½-percent sales-and-use tax through the year 2038 to pay for all or part of the above-listed regional projects.
