The Apache Junction City Council on Dec. 2 approved a 10-year .2 percent increase to its city sales tax to help fund improvements to local streets and roads city officials say are in dire need of repair.
Voting in favor of the tax were Mayor John Insalaco, Vice Mayor Robin Barker and council members Gail Evans, Dave Waldron and Chip Wilson.
Voting against it were council members Christa Rizzi and Jeff Serdy.
The .2 percent city sales tax will increase the tax revenue the city receives by 20 cents per $100 spent in Apache Junction, according to a press release.
