The City is looking for your Feedback
In August, a proposition needed to fund the construction of a proposed Civic Center failed. To help us better understand the “why” behind your vote, whether you supported or opposed it, we are asking residents to take a brief survey on this issue. The gathered information will be presented to the City Council for review. Your participation is essential and will help us determine and communicate a plan moving forward. If you have any questions or would rather fill out a paper survey, please contact me.

Weekly Report – July 12, 2024
The City of Normandy Park is considering the construction of a new multi-use sport court. This court would focus on pickleball and basketball and is championed by the Normandy Park Metropolitan Parks District (or City Council).
Some fun facts about the Normandy Park Metropolitan Parks District (MPD):
It was formed in 2009 when voters approved the formation of a metropolitan park district.
The MPD has the authority to create, manage, control, improve, maintain, and acquire parks and recreational facilities.
The City Council of Normandy Park is authorized to serve as the board of metropolitan park commissioners.
The MPD can assess Normandy Park property owners a levy to support the City’s parks.
The City of Normandy Park owns, operates, and maintains all the parks. The MPD is important because it financially covers the costs of these efforts.
