During last night's Council meeting, staff presented the following:
Based on a statistically valid poll of 400 residents staff reported last night that the majority of Redmond residents (77 percent) are willing to contribute personally toward a $26‐40 million community center project, and some are willing to go even higher. That would be $60-$90 per year on a $600,000 house.
The poll was taken in 2019, before COVID.
Residents were asked to consider how much they would be willing to pay in additional annual property taxes to support some kind of community center project. The increase was based on $0.10 ‐ $0.15 per $1,000 value of a $600,000 home, which is the average cost of a home in Redmond.
Residents expect to be asked to contribute financially to support the future of Redmond’s community centers. However, residents believe other resources and partnerships can be effective in keeping costs down and to make sure the community centers will be financially accessible to all.
Did you participate in this survey? Personally, I don't want to pay more. Share your thoughts and feelings with the Mayor and Council at mayorcouncil@redmond.gov.
