  • Without the funding from this levy, the City will face immediate financial decisions that would include cutting back operational hours or closing the pool; deferring necessary pool maintenance; reducing upkeep of City parks; canceling planned park system improvements; and park closures. With the funding provided by this proposed levy, the City plans to invest in its parks and the pool to continue providing a wide variety of recreational opportunities to City residents.

  • Because of property tax limits set by statewide Measures 47 and 50 in the 1990s, the City is unable to raise it's permanent tax rate, even with majority community support.
