Salem City Council initiates process to renew parks levy, aiming to place it on May ballot.

The Salem City Council has started the process to renew the Salem parks levy, a 1-mill tax that provides about $221,000 annually for parks. The levy was previously scheduled for the November ballot but was removed due to issues with the language in the resolutions. The council must now approve legislation by February 5 to place it on the May ballot. The parks department also relies on a separate 1.3-mill recreation levy for funding.
