Voters in District 21, please vote Yes on the West Ada Rec District Dissolution. TL;DR β The District is empty, no longer necessary & a Yes vote lowers your property taxes.
I was approached by a West Ada Rec board member almost 2 years ago and I carried and passed legislation a year ago (HB102) to make it easier to get this dissolution on the ballot. The Board has turned over all their parks and assets to the city of Meridian. Voting Yes doesnβt change anything about the quality or quantity of parks or pools in our area. The Rec District is essentially a ghost entity. If they donβt dissolve, they have to pay lawyers & accountants to file their required paperwork, which means they have to keep charging us property tax to pay for all that. The Board wants to dissolve (in fact they are budgeting $0 this year assuming they will be dissolved) and a ballot measure is the way to do so per Idaho law. Please vote Yes on this measure!
