DULUTH, MN (KDAL) – A referendum that would update a park fund levy has been proposed by the City of Duluth.
The original levy approved in 2012 established a capped dollar amount of 2.8 million a year and did not account for inflation or market changes.
The new levy would be a fixed percentage of property value which would allow for market driven changes in the future.
The new referendum would also ensure a geographically equitable distribution of funds for city parks over the next 25 years.
For a home valued at 200 thousand dollars, the Park Fund levy would amount to $94.53.
Pending Council approval, the referendum will be presented to voters on the November General Election ballot.
