  • Arts, Culture, and Recreation
    Arts, Culture, and Recreation 2008 Parks Levy 2008 Parks Levy by Budget Control Level 2008 Parks Levy Overview In November 2008, Seattle voters approved the 2008 Parks and Green Spaces Levy (2008 Parks Levy), a $145.5 million, six-year Levy lid lift for park and recreation purposes. A 16-member Citizen Oversight Committee reviews expenditures, advises on allocations for upcoming budget years, makes recommen- dations on Opportunity Fund expenditures, and performs other duties. The 2008 Parks Levy Fund chapter of the budget is an administrative tool for summarizing the ap- proved uses of the Levy. Proceeds from the 2008 Parks Levy are used mainly to support property ac- quisition, as well as capital expansion, development, and renovation of Department of Parks and Rec- reation (DPR) facilities. In addition, the Levy funds three projects in the Seattle Department of Transportation Capital Improvement Program (CIP) including the West Duwamish Trail Development, Burke Gilman Trail Extension, and the Lake to Bay Trail (Potlatch) Development, which is part of the Thomas Street Pedestrian Overpass project. This single budget control level reflects SDOT’s trail projects funded by the Levy. DPR’s appropriations for the 2008 Parks Levy are more specifically described in the 2012-2017 Proposed CIP document. City of Seattle—2012 Proposed Budget - 75 - 2008 Parks Levy The annual cost to property owners for this Levy is approximately $0.20 per $1,000 assessed value. DPR manages the 2008 Parks Levy Fund and the majority of the levy funded projects. With these Levy resources, the City will acquire new neighborhood park and green spaces; develop new and existing parks, playgrounds, trails, boulevards, playfields, and cultural facilities; and perform environmental restoration at various DPR properties.
