City Council adopts resolution placing levy lid lift on November ballot

On July 25, the Shoreline City Council adopted Resolution No. 389, which places a levy lid lift on the November 8 ballot.

If approved by Shoreline voters, Shoreline Proposition 1 would help fund and maintain current levels of police and emergency service, including neighborhood safety and traffic patrols; school safety programs; and community crime prevention programs.

It would also help fund park and trail maintenance; playgrounds and play equipment; ball fields, restrooms and the Shoreline pool; and preserve recreation programs for youth, families, and seniors. 

Proposition 1 would also continue funding for community services for seniors, youth, and individuals and families in need.

In 2010, Shoreline voters approved a six-year maintenance and operations levy to help fund basic public safety, parks and recreation, and community services.

That levy will expire on December 31 of this year.

The City’s 10-Year Forecast projects that without restoring these funds, revenues will not be adequate to support the costs of current service levels. If Proposition 1 is approved, a homeowner with a median home value ($353,000) would pay an additional average of $7 per month to maintain the above services.
