SALES TAX PUBLIC HEARING Posted 3.26.13
Public Hearings will be held during the Chelsea City Council Meetings on April 2nd and April 16th for a proposed sales tax increase of one-cent for major capital improvement projects. City residents will have the opportunity to voice their opinion on the tax increase for the following projects:
- Property purchase behind Chelsea High School for walking & biking trails and sports fields
- Building a community center with basketball court, walking track, activity rooms and a stage for a community theater program on city property in the Foothills neighborhood off Old Highway 280.
- Intersection redesign at Highways 47 & 39 leading to the middle & intermediate schools to address traffic congestion in the morning and afternoons
- Construction of 4 tennis courts on Highway 51
- Paving King's Home Road near Hwy 39 and the new elementary school
The increase in the sales tax would bring the total rate in the city to 9 percent and generate about $100,000 a month in additional revenue to fund the projects.
The council plans include public comment, with a vote on purchasing the property from a private seller and possibly approving the tax, all during April.

QUARTERLY HOA MEETING SUMMARY Posted 3.15.13
A summary of the March 10th meeting discussion is now posted under the Quarterly Meeting page.
NEIGHBORHOOD VANDALISM Posted 3.10.13, Updated 3.14.13
Yellowleaf was struck by vandals last night who used red, gold and silver paint to spray several maiboxes, a driveway, a car and various Dogwood Creek park areas. A sheriff's report has been filed for the park, and affected homeowners have linked to it by reporting their damage. Evidence has also been turned in on this criminal mischief. If your property was affected, you can contact the Sheriff's Dept at 669-4181.
Update: because of cooperative efforts by numerous Yellowleaf neighbors and immediate action, the boys who did the vandalism were identified and confessed within 3 days. Restitution has been made for park damage and they have sincerely apologized for their mischief. It is truly gratifying to see how well our neighbors have pulled together as a cohesive team for the good of all who live here - that's one of the main reasons why our Yellowleaf neighborhood is so special!
