Within the Snoqualmie Valley, there are four local ballot measures on the Nov. 8 ballot, most of them related to fire protection services and all of them named Proposition 1.

The measures affect nearly every city in the Valley:

The merger of Fire Districts 10 and 38 in the Eastside Regional Fire Authority’s proposal will be voted on by residents in Carnation and unincorporated areas of North Bend and Snoqualmie;

The M&O levy proposed by Fall City Fire will affect future operations in Fire Protection District 27;

The city of Snoqualmie’s Proposition 1 needs voter approval to expand public safety staffing levels in the city; and

The city of Duvall’s Proposition 1 has three components, improvements to Big Rock Ballfield, increasing the city’s IT budget, and increasing funding for a school resource officer. The city of Duvall also has an advisory vote on the ballot, asking residents whether the city should allow the sale, possession or discharge of any consumer fireworks in the city.

Record Staff have summarized the details of each Proposition this week.

Duvall Proposition 1

Name on ballot: Nine Year Levy Lid Lift for Big Rock Ballfield Improvements, Employment of a Full Time School Resource Officer, and IT System Improvements.

Sponsoring organization: City of Duvall

Anticipated cost: The levy lid lift would increase Duvall’s property tax levy by 32.5 cents per $1,000 of assessed valuation, about $130 annually for a $400,000 home.

Anticipated revenue: Approximately $316,546 per year.

Projected total levy rate: Approximately $1.725 per $1,000 of assessed value.

What it will do: The city of Duvall put the proposition on the ballot to hire a School Resource Officer full-time and fund improvements to Big Rock Ballfield and the city’s information technology systems.

The city of Duvall plans to spend two-thirds of the funds raised by the levy on the $3 million Big Rock Ballfield improvement project. The improvements include synthetic turf fields, parking and a trail around the perimeter of the field.

An estimated $100,000 will be used to fund a full-time school resource officer annually, and the city’s IT improvements are estimated to cost $30,000 annually.

The School Resource Officer is to help enhance student safety and provide students with law enforcement career information.
