Proposition 1
At the June 15 Council meeting, Kenmore City Councilmembers approved placing Proposition 1 on the November 3 ballot. If approved by voters, Proposition 1 would establish a levy lid lift to help fund programs and services related to three priorities: Climate & Environmental Stewardship, Affordable Housing, and Human Services. This is the first Levy Lid Lift (LLL) in City history. This LLL would cost approximately $30/month for the owner of a $1 million home (based on 2026 assed value).
