The Jefferson City Council is expecting a full house as they are expected to pass a bill to place the proposed "Transformation" sales tax on the February ballot, one of the items on Monday night's council agenda.

"Transformation," the economic development strategic plan put forward by the Jefferson City Area Chamber of Commerce, has proposed a 10-year half-cent economic development sales tax that, if passed, would raise more than $41 million to complete a list of 30 projects around the city. Members of the plan's steering committee have been asked to fill the council chambers Monday to show support for the initiative and tax.
