March 30, 1999 Local Option Sales Tax Election

FINAL OFFICIAL RESULTS

Tax approved or rejected by majority vote in each of the following geographic areas:

• Groups of contiguous cities voted as one unit.  In 1999 Johnson County contained one group of contiguous cities: Iowa City, Coralville, Hills, North Liberty, Tiffin and University Heights.  Note that each city had its own proposals for use of revenue, but approval or rejection was based on the total six-city vote.
• The unincorporated portion of Johnson County voted as one unit.
• Each city that bordered no other city voted as a unit.  In 1999 Johnson County contained five such cities: Lone Tree, Oxford, Shueyville, Solon and Swisher.  In addition, the Johnson County portion of the city of West Branch voted as one unit.  (The Cedar County portion of West Branch considered a local option sales tax in 2001.)
