*City Council Will Continue Discussions Around Kenmore's Financial Future on May 20
*On Monday evening, the City Council held a study session [ https://kenmore.civicweb.net/document/255079/ ] including a presentation and discussion of recommendations from the Financial Sustainability Task Force [ https://www.kenmorewa.gov/government/departments/finance-administration/financial-sustainability-plan ], a summary of results from The Love Where You Live Project [ https://www.kenmorewa.gov/our-city/love-where-you-live ] community engagement, and a presentation and discussion of preliminary ballot measure options [ https://www.youtube.com/live/MuhkrKcZpCQ?si=POf75bRjkEJYFS96&t=12195 ], including timelines and future funding needs such as public safety, human services, and parks.

One of the Financial Sustainability Plan (FSP) Task Force recommendations is to form a Metropolitan Parks District (MPD) to fund ongoing parks maintenance needs and future parks projects. The City Council will continue the discussion about a possible 2024 MPD ballot measure, and what that could fund or look like, at the May 20 City Council meeting*. *Public comments regarding the FSP Task Force recommendations and the ballot measure discussion are welcome, and can be emailed to the City Clerks, clerks@kenmorewa.gov.

*You're Invited: Middle Housing Open House May 22
*Last week, several community engagement opportunities were announced to learn about the new middle housing policies and regulations project. "We’re excited to announce there is another opportunity this month!" The City of Kenmore is hosting an open house on Wednesday, May 22, from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m in the Council Chambers at City Hall. There will be a very brief introduction and then there will be several stations where participants may learn more and ask questions about the project. If you’re unable to attend this event, don’t worry. There are several more opportunities to engage with staff at the June 5, July 17, and August 7 Farmers Markets, an online community survey, and at Planning Commission and City Council meetings later this summer.
