Improvements Plan: 2 Year 12-Mill Levy for Parks
Bell, park commission president, says the 12 mill levy over two years would net about 119000 and fund improvements and expansion at Cascade and Ely Park facilities plus department equipment. The measure mirrors what a previous three quarter mill levy would have funded and includes area development between Hilltop House and Abbe Rd if annexed. A public hearing on the budget is set for 7, and Mayor Stewart seeks a restudy of the utilities office system.
