We heard residents' concerns over the cost of the bond. By reducing the project scope, we lowered the estimated property tax impact. The May bond proposal has a $3,285,138 lower cost than the November bond proposal. By making changes to the bond plan, voters can consider a proposal that better addresses residents' concerns.

Rexburg is a place where families can grow, and we at the City work to support that in the services we provide our community, from public safety to infrastructure to recreation opportunities.
A police facility is a long-term investment in community safety. The proposed station is designed to meet current needs and plan for future growth as Rexburg continues to evolve.
As we head into a busy spring and summer season, we’re looking forward to more opportunities to gather, like the annual Carousel Summer Kickoff each May.
These efforts are only part of the work City staff provide to serve Rexburg, "America’s Family Community."

During our January survey about the Police Station Bond, we heard that budget is a top concern for many in our community.
Rexburg’s financial information is publicly available, including details about property taxes at rexburg.org/o/cor/page/financial-reports
Different services in our community are funded by different entities. That’s why they are voted on and managed separately. A few important clarifications:
→ City and county funding are separate from school and other district funding.
→ City funding is separate from county funding.
→ The City doesn't (and legally can't) allocate funds to other taxing entities like the library or cemetery.
For residents in the City of Rexburg, property taxes are allocated as follows:
→ 30.8% goes to the City
→ 45.9% goes to Madison County
→ 18.3% goes to the School District
→ The remaining portion supports other taxing bodies like the library and cemetery
How does Rexburg compare?
This graph shows how Rexburg’s property tax levies compare to other university cities in Idaho and the region.
→ Blue represents the City portion

We’ve heard questions and concerns about the location selected for the proposed police station, and we want to share more about how that decision was made.
City and Police leadership worked together to evaluate multiple potential sites across Rexburg, including downtown locations and areas such as Airport Road. Each option was carefully considered for cost, accessibility, response times, and long-term service to the community. Some locations were ultimately ruled out due to limitations that could impact public safety - for example, restricted access points that could affect emergency response.
The Pioneer Road site was selected because it allows for better accessibility, supports efficient response across the community, and significantly reduces overall project cost compared to other options. This site has already been purchased using funds the City set aside in prior years specifically for a future police facility.
The process for a new Rexburg Police Station has been years in the making, and decisions like site selection involve many factors. Our goal is to provide clear, transparent information about how those decisions were made.

Rexburg’s current police station no longer meets today’s modern policing needs.
Based on the City’s research, a remodel could not correct current facility inadequacies, including security & safety, space constraints, evidence storage risks, shared-building concerns, and parking limitations.
A new facility is presented as the alternative that addresses those issues comprehensively.
Visit the City’s police station bond page, review project materials, and use the bond tax calculator to understand the estimated taxpayer impact. rexburg.org/rpd-station-bond
