Issues 33 through 35 on the ballot will concern the city of Kent renewing and approving funding for several of its public services.

Issue 33 is a $0.73 million renewal levy that would generate $248,000 over the next five years starting in 2016 for the staff, operations and maintenance of the Kent City fire station. The money would be used for maintaining the current level of service offered by the fire department.

Issue 34 is a $1 million renewal levy that would generate $340,000 on an annual basis starting this year for the maintenance and operation of the Parks and Recreation Department. If the levy doesn’t pass, cuts to the operations, maintenance and repairs of park and bike trails are likely.

Issue 35 is a $0.43 million renewal levy and would generate $146,000 on an annual basis starting this year to provide funding to the Parks and Recreation department.
