Background and Analysis:
On November 24, 2015, the Thurston County Auditor’s office certified voter approval of the Olympia Metropolitan Park District (the “OMPD”), a district with the same boundaries as the City of Olympia, and with the Olympia City Councilmembers serving as the Board of the Metropolitan Park District Commissioners (the “OMPD Board”). The OMPD is a metropolitan park district authorized under Chapters 35.61, 67.20, and 84.52 RCW. The OMPD has certain statutory powers, including the power to levy and impose various taxes and fees to generate revenues to provide ongoing funding to acquire, maintain, operate and improve parks, Percival Landing, and other recreation facilities and programs.
A resolution establishing a meeting schedule is helpful in that it is yet another way to ensure that the public has notice of upcoming meetings.
