McKinleyville board adopts Measure B levy for FY 2026–27 to fund parks and recreation
Summary
The McKinleyville Community Services District board approved two resolutions authorizing the FY 2026–27 levy of Measure B assessments after staff presented the engineer’s levy report, estimating $758,421 in assessment revenue to support parks and recreation operations and capital work.
The McKinleyville Community Services District board voted unanimously May 6 to adopt two resolutions that implement the annual levy of Measure B assessments for fiscal year 2026–27.
Staff presented the district’s engineer’s annual levy report, noting the Measure B maintenance assessment district was originally approved in 1992 and renewed by property-owner ballot actions in 2011 and 2023. For 2026–27, staff proposed an assessment rate of $9.94 per equivalent benefit unit (EBU), a 3.14% increase from the prior year, applied across roughly 5,812 parcels (about 7,650 EBUs). Assessment revenue is estimated at $758,421, representing about 30% of the district’s $2.5 million parks and recreation budget, staff said.
Staff recommended opening a noticed public hearing, taking public testimony and written protests, closing the hearing and then adopting Resolution 2026-16 (approving the final engineer’s report) and Resolution 2026-17 (ordering levy and collection). There were no public speakers during the hearing. On the motion to adopt the staff recommendation the board recorded a roll-call vote and approved both resolutions.
Why it matters: Measure B assessments fund maintenance and operations of McKinleyville facilities including the activity center, Azalea Hall and the Hillisport site. The levy covers a significant portion of parks and recreation expenditures and provides predictable revenue to maintain programming and capital upkeep.
What’s next: The assessments will be levied on the county tax roll for FY 2026–27 in accordance with the adopted resolutions. The district will proceed with the engineer’s report implementation and collection as approved by the board.
