				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Norman residents should plan on going to the polls Tuesday to vote on two bond propositions, a mayor&#8217;s race and in some areas of the city, a ward race.</p>
<p>Voters are being asked to approve a $19 million general obligation bond issue to pay for street repairs and reconstruction of some streets. The proposition replaces one that has expired and will not result in a tax increase. Also on the ballot is a $2.25 million general obligation bond issue to fund new outdoor storm warning sirens and upgrade some of the old ones. This proposition will raise taxes slightly. According to the city&#8217;s finance director, Anthony Francisco, it will cost someone who owns a $100,000 home about 60 cents a month. Voters also will cast ballots in a mayor&#8217;s race. Mayor Cindy Rosenthal is seeking a second three-year term. Hal Ezzell, a Ward 3 representative, is challenging her. Voters in Wards 4, 6 and 8 also will cast ballots for a representative. John Dawson, incumbent Carol Dillingham and Austin Dyches are viying for the Ward 4 seat. Incumbent Jim Griffith is being challenged by Matt Zellner for the Ward 6 seat. Candidates Stephen Lucas and Leonard Youngblood are running against incumbent Dan Quinn in Ward 8.  Polls open at 7 a.m.  and will remain open until 7 p.m.</p>
