Pool levy proposal fails after council split vote
Summary
A single-purpose pool levy proposing $0.16 per $1,000 assessed value failed after a motion to endorse and help gather 25 petition signatures received only two yes votes (Dave, Pat). The proposal included a July 10 public hearing and an August 5 ballot deadline.
Trout Lake Community Council members debated a proposed single-purpose pool levy and voted down a motion to endorse and assist signature gathering.
Presenters Lily and Steve Harris outlined the measure as a “single purpose proposal” to “build, maintain, and operate pool only,” and proposed funding at $0.16 per $1,000 of assessed property value, with key dates including a July 10 public hearing and an August 5 ballot deadline. The proposal also requires 25 valid petition signatures to qualify for the ballot.
Council member Pat moved that the council endorse the pool and actively facilitate gathering the 25 signatures; Aaron seconded the motion. The motion failed on the vote. The minutes record yes votes from Dave and Pat only; other votes were not recorded in the transcript.
The council did not adopt further direction or an alternate funding plan during the meeting; proponents may pursue signature gathering independently before the stated ballot deadline.
