City of Shoreline Proposition No. 1 — Formation of the Shoreline Metropolitan Park District (King County)

What it does

The Shoreline City Council adopted Resolution No. 562 concerning the creation of a metropolitan park district in Shoreline. This proposition would create the Shoreline Metropolitan Park District to finance and refinance the acquisition, construction, operation, maintenance, programming, renovation, and expansion of a pool facility and future recreational facilities. The District, with the same boundaries as Shoreline, governed by a Board composed of City Councilmembers, would exercise powers in state law, provide ongoing funding, levy regular property taxes not to exceed $0.75/$1,000 assessed valuation (anticipated initial rate $0.55/$1,000, or as necessary to generate approximately $8.8 million annually). Should the Shoreline Metropolitan Park District be formed?

A YES vote means

A Shoreline Metropolitan Park District would be formed, governed by the City Council, to fund a pool and future recreation facilities, with a property tax of up to $0.75 per $1,000 of assessed value (expected to start at $0.55, about $8.8 million a year).

A NO vote means

The Shoreline Metropolitan Park District would not be formed.

Needed to pass

A simple majority: more than half of the YES and NO votes on this measure must be YES. Leaving it blank doesn't count either way.

Left–right lean

Not a left–right issue: a procedural or local question that liberals and conservatives don't typically split on (AI read of the official ballot summary).
