The Shelton Metropolitan Park District board adopted two resolutions establishing the district's 2026 property tax levy and approving the 2026 budget after brief presentations by Interim Finance Director Terry Schnitzer and voice votes by the board. No members of the public signed up to speak.

Interim Finance Director Terry Schnitzer presented the levy and budget proposals. On the levy, Schnitzer said the proposal reflects "increasing the 1% from the high level levy amount plus the new construction and state assessed property," as reported from the Mason County Assessor's Office, and recommended the resolution as written. Clerk Mary read resolution number SMPD42-1025 as "A resolution of the Shelton Metropolitan Park District of Shelton, Washington setting the amount of the annual ad valorem taxes for calendar year 2026." A motion to approve SMPD42-1025 was made and seconded; the board voted by voice and the presiding officer stated, "Motion carries."

Schnitzer then summarized the preliminary 2026 budget, stating, "We currently have the the expenses at 785, just over 785,000. And our revenue coming in from, the property tax at 636,000. And using fund balance of almost 149,000." Clerk Mary read resolution number SMPD43-1025, "A resolution of the Park District adopting the budget for the year ending 12/31/2026." A motion to approve SMPD43-1025 as written was made and seconded; the board again approved it by voice vote and the presiding officer declared the motion carried.

The board recorded no public testimony on either item. The presiding officer also announced there was no administration report and that the district's Dec. 16 meeting had been canceled due to a lack of business. The meeting was adjourned at 5:50 p.m.
