LOS ALAMOS, N.M. (AP) - The University of New Mexico-Los Alamos is asking voters for a mill levy for the first time in 29 years.
The school says it needs additional operational funds.
UNM-Los Alamos will ask voters to approve a 2-mill levy in a mail-in ballot election to be held jointly with Los Alamos Public Schools' request for approval of a six-year extension of an existing bond now due to expire June 30.
The mill levy would raises taxes $52.67 per $100,000 assessed value.
The college and the public schools say a joint election will allow them to split the $25,000 county clerk's fee.
The school district's business manager, John Wolfe, says the clerk will mail out ballots Jan. 11, and voters have until Feb. 2 to return them.
