SOUTH WHIDBEY: Vote on pool bond pushed to April 2024 [VIDEO] (SWR)
Kira Erickson reports for the South Whidbey Record from the South Whidbey Parks and Recreation District board meeting of Wed., May 17, 2023.
Following the failure of the South Whidbey School District’s $80 million bond, the South Whidbey Parks and Recreation District has decided to push its own bond request out further than previously planned.
The parks and rec district has proposed a bond for the construction of a public pool facility, which has long been anticipated on the South End. What that bond amount will be, however, depends on if the state legislature funds a portion of the project and how much grants and private donors contribute.
During its May meeting, the parks and rec board discussed delaying the bond request, from the November 2023 general election ballot to the April 2024 special election ballot. The primary reason behind this switch seemed to be because the school district may ask voters to approve its bond again on the November ballot.
