Background and Analysis:
Section 4.1.3. of the Olympia Metropolitan Park District (OMPD) Interlocal Agreement states that the OMPD Advisory Committee shall “provide an annual report to the City Council and OMPD Board regarding the City’s compliance with the funding levels in (i.) through (iv.) in Section 4.1.1.” Section (i.) refers to the requirement that the City allocate 11 percent of General Fund revenues to the Parks, Arts and Recreation Department (OPARD). Section (ii.) refers to the use of the 2% Voted Utility Tax revenues and section (iii.) refers to the use of one-half of the 1% Non-Voted Utility Tax. Section (iv.) refers to the requirement that the remaining one-half of the Non-Voted Utility Tax be used to acquire new park land and to maintain and develop those acquired park properties, with a priority on acquisition to the extent practicable.
