Statement
For:
Tanglewilde’s Unique Parks and Pool are a Neighborhood Tradition.
Since
1963, the property owners of Tanglewilde have owned and operated
parks and a swimming pool where adults and children have enjoyed
safe and wholesome recreation in our community. To ensure financial
stability several years ago, residents created a Parks and Recreation
District consisting only of Tanglewilde residents. Every two
years this requires the approval of the community to continue
the funding that keeps our pool open and provides enhancements
to our parks.
Results
From the Last Levy
Through the volunteer efforts, business planning and innovative
partnerships, we have made the following improvements during
the last two years - upgrade to the lighting system in the pool
building; new lighting and picnic tables in the Trailblazer
Park; cover for the pool; more efficient heating and filter
system for the pool; new flooring in the pool building; playground
equipment for both parks; entrance monuments enhanced; and lighting
and water added to the picnic shelter.
It’s Time Again to Renew Our Levy
Each year, many residents provide hundreds of hours of volunteer
time to keep our pool and parks open. Because of the strong
commitment from the volunteers, homeowners continue to be assessed
a consistent millage rate. The 2002-2003 request is a millage
rate of $1.285 per thousand dollars of property value that translates
to $10.70 per month for a home valued at $100,000. Although
we pay the levy for one year, it provides funding for two years.
Spread over the two-year life of the funding, the levy costs
the equivalent of $5.35 per month for a $100,000 home. The Tanglewilde
Pool has become a tradition in our community. Please vote “YES”
for our Pool and Parks Levy.
