Get StartedThis is a referendum of Ordinance No. 1639 to City of Independence voters. The ordinance prioritizes utility service payments and creates a framework for City service fees. The ordinance also creates a new Community Services and Parks Fee, to be set in an amount determined by the City Council via Council resolution. The new fee would be used to support community services, which the ordinance defines as City-provided programs, facilities, and activities that support the cultural, educational, recreational, and social well-being of residents through the City's library and museum and assoclated community events. The new fee would also be used to support parks, which the ordinance defines as City-provided programs, facilities, and activities that support the cultural, educational, recreational, and social well-being of residents through the City's parks and recreation programs. A "yes" vote adopts Ordinance No. 1639, creating the Community services and park fee. A "no" vote does not adopt Ordinance No. 1639 and does not create the community services and park fee.
Shall the City create a Community Services and Parks Fee to fund library, museum and park city services?
