THPRD Bond Measure on the ballot May 19
The proposed measure would fund repairs, maintenance, and safety improvements at parks, trails and facilities. THPRD estimates the rate to be $0.37 cents per $1,000 in assessed value or $120.41 a year, or $10.03 cents per month for 20 years. The proposed measure would be timed to maintain consistent tax rates with the 2008 bond measure that is retiring soon.
