The
Financial Sustainability Citizen Advisory Committee has been reviewing
the City’s Financial Sustainability Strategies since February,
particularly as they relate to the expiring maintenance and operations
property tax levy lid lift that Shoreline residents passed in 2010.
The
upcoming public meetings are an opportunity for the community to learn
about what the City has been doing to secure Shoreline’s financial
sustainability and what challenges lie ahead.
As long as the 1% cap remains on property tax increases, the City will continue to face budget gaps every six to eight years as the cost to deliver the same basic services outpaces revenue growth.
In addition to
looking at ways to operate more efficiently and to cut costs, the City
has also looked at different strategies for ensuring revenue keeps pace
with costs. Come learn about those strategies and provide your input.

I'm all for paying my fair share of taxes, but I'm not voting for any increase in light of the petulant, arrogant, and haphazard treatment of homeowners in the light rail areas at the hands of City Hall and their shoving of urbanist rhetoric down our throats. #NoFatigue
And seeming as how plans of 4 to 7 story buildings are popping up all over the 185th subarea now from... 10th Ave on the east side of I-5, to Corliss next to Cromwell Park, to Wallingford and Densmore far away from the walk-shed are feeling the imminent impacts of MEGA-DEVELOPMENT. What was that again about a 100 year build out? Because this seems like the City Council, Planning Dept, and Planning Commission have opened the flood gates for Greek Week. This Gang Bang of our neighborhoods is brought to you by the very individuals you elected.
