Voters must approval any disolve of any special district in the State of Washington

Voters of Kittitas County voted to create a county wide parks and recreation district for the purpose of managing the county's parks in 2004 by ballot initative was fully established in 2005.  This was created for the purpose to allow more citizen involvement of managing county parks with the boundary of Kittitas County.  These parks are not in any incorporated city boundaries only within the incorporated areas of Kittitas County.  This also has made it easier for the board of commissioner to be able to concentrate on other areas of county operations such as county public works.  If the recommendation due to lack of voter confidence due to not being able to approve any voter approved levies.  Elected commissioners are required to meet to discuss this matter may only dissolve if the voters of Kittitas County approve it by over 50 percent.  If this is the direction the voters want to go then the management of the county parks go right back to the commissioner plate in accordance to the Revised Code of Washington.  Let's pray whatever decision this parks and recreation district takes will be in the best interest of Kittitas County.  Remember only the voters can do this not a board.
