Revision 1, 2026-08-30T10:41:00Z, by MissouriBends.
+ = Great Falls Park District No. 1 =
+ The park maintenance district, assessed on property citywide, which funds the maintenance and much of the capital programme of the [[ParkAndRecreationDepartment]].
+ The assessment is levied by resolution each August: '''Resolution 10586''' for FY2026, adopted 5-0 at [[CityCommission2025-08-19]], and '''Resolution 10641''' for FY2027, adopted 4-0 at [[CityCommission2026-08-18]]. Both resolutions reference Resolution 10238, which established the district.
+ '''Resolution 10610''', a budget amendment resolution for the Park Maintenance District fund, was set for hearing at [[CityCommission2025-10-21]] and heard at [[CityCommission2025-11-04]].
+ = Contested =
+ The district draws more public comment than any other City assessment. In the 2025-2026 minutes residents raised: opposition to the adopted FY26 park district assessment and questions about how the money is allocated; and the use of maintenance district funds for maintenance expenses at '''Voyager Stadium''', with a resident arguing at [[CityCommission2026-06-16]] that voters had not known the stadium was inside the district and proposing a ticket surcharge to repay the district.
+ The [[ParkAndRecreationBoard]] itself asked in its February 2026 special work session for a project review, an explanation of how district funds are used, and better communication in seeking the board's input.
