Great Falls Park and Rec Master Plan

1.5.4 KEY RECOMMENDATIONS
• Development of a Citywide Parks Maintenance District: It is recommended that the Great Falls
City Commission consider the adoption of a resolution that would create a Citywide Parks
Maintenance District to supplement current funding and create a sustainable funding source for
the purposes of providing the park and recreation system services including:

The recommendation was for the formation of "...a Citywide Parks Maintenance District." However, the resolution of intent passed was for the formation of a City-Wide Park District. Was this just a wording mix-up or will the funds generated by this new tax go to other improvements AND maintenance? Myself and a few others are confused as to exactly what these funds will be used for. Or is there something else going on here that I'm totally off-base on?

Many thanks in advance for your continued responses to my questions. I know how frustrating it can be to hold countless meetings and then only field questions when the vote comes to fruition. Such is the nature of people. Thanks again!
