Since 1993, McKinleyville residents have been paying a small annual assessment to maintain our local parks and recreation areas. Measure B will expire soon, unless renewed by voters.
The loss of community-supported funding for McKinleyville’s parks, trails and facilities such as Azalea Hall -- on top of the hundreds of thousands of dollars Sacramento has already taken -- would be devastating. Without community support, the following would happen:
• No trail maintenance
• Park restrooms will be closed
• Trash and debris will build up quickly.
With this in mind, we recently commissioned a survey of our residents to determine whether they would be supportive of extending Measure B, with no increase to current tax rates.
More than 80% of our homeowners said “Yes,” and asked that we prioritize the following services:
Maintaining Azalea Hall, our community center, youth center and activity center
Keeping the Senior Center open
Keeping park restrooms open and clean
Maintaining playfields and playgrounds in all parks
Keeping open space and trails open and maintained
In addition to maintaining current services, the community also expressed support in building a teen center, so that kids in our community have a safe place to go after school.
