How is the assessment decided?

The WDID hired a consultant to review all aspects of the District and find the fairest possible way to assess the $100,000 on the 56 properties. It was determined that a percentage of the assessed taxable value was the fairest method.

Where does the WDID Board get the power to assess?

The original authorizing legislation empowered the WDID Board to assess up to $100,000. Resolution 2016-033 explicitly allows the assessment for fiscal year 2017, and Resolution 2017- 055 authorizes the assessment for fiscal years 2018 through 2024.  

How will the money be spent?
