HRVPRD Board Talks Ballot Measures Thursday

The Hood River Valley Parks and Recreation District Board will consider putting a pair of ballot measures on the May 2022 ballot during its meeting on Thursday.  The board is considering one measure to dissolve the current district and a second to reform with a new permanent property tax rate.  District director Mark Hickok says the current rate is locked in under Measure 50 at 34 cents per thousand dollars of assessed property value, and dates to when the district was formed and simply about swimming pool operation.  But with the Hood River Valley Aquatic Center pool needing replacement, and the district taking on parks and trails and a demand for other services, Hickok says they need a different tax rate.  The meeting will be on Zoom at 4 p.m. on Thursday.  Log-in details will be available at hoodriverparksandrec.org.
