Council Cautious on Park Bond

 

   The Sammamish Parks and Recreation Department is proposing to fund parks improvements with a property tax increase.

    The department wants to place two measures on the Nov. 4 ballot asking voters to help pay for park projects including an all-ages recreation facility that city officials have discussed for years.

    If at least 60 percent of voters favor the measures, East Sammamish Park would get a new spray park, playground upgrades, a parking lot expansion and a new trail to nearby Margaret Mead Elementary School. Nanny Ana Melayes (pictured at the park) favors the measure.
