The Grand Junction City Council will decide Aug. 19 whether to go before voters again in November and ask for a sales-tax increase to pay for a pared-down package of new police and fire buildings. If council members choose to ask city residents to bump up the sales-tax rate a quarter-cent, they also will decide which one of five projects ranging in price from $53 million to $78 million they will tie to the question.
