HUMBOLDT Three weeks from today Humboldt voters will decide whether to impose an additional half-cent sales tax to help pay for street improvements.
City Administrator Cole Herder told council members Monday night he anticipates the tax to raise $120,000 year.

The need numbers many times that.
Jason Hoskinson, a BG Consultants engineer, reviewed a survey that showed nearly 39 lane miles of streets, mostly in residential neighborhoods, need attention; some more than others.
