Point Roberts Circle of Care is looking for volunteers who would like to invest their time, energy and expertise in assisting Point Roberts residents when they need help due to illness or injury. Volunteers would do simple, helpful tasks such as walking the dog or picking up a prescription, which can help someone stay in their home.

The Point Roberts Park and Recreation District #1 has, by majority vote, decided to present a levy request to the registered voters of Point Roberts for the approval of a one-time property tax levy in an amount not to exceed $300,000 for the purpose of funding the gap between monies raised privately by the Friends of the Point Roberts Library ($540,000) and the estimated costs of renovation of Julius Fire Hall ($800,000) to house the library.

The park district is mandated to make its best efforts to appoint both a pro and a con committee to the proposed levy. The Friends of the Point Roberts Library have currently presented a candidate pro committee for consideration for appointment by the park district.  
This notice asks that any persons interested in serving on either committee, noting that a need exists specifically for participants on a con committee, to please contact the park district via email, at PRParks@pointroberts.net.  

The park district will hold a special meeting on Monday, July 25, 2016 at 6 p.m. to formally appoint both committees, each of which should consist of no less than three people.
The requirements of each committee are:

- To produce a statement in favor of the Pro/Con position of the committee for submission on or before August 8, 2016, and

- To produce a rebuttal to the opposing campaign on or before August 11, 2016.

The statements are to be published in the Voters Pamphlet prior to the November election.  
If you are interested in serving on either committee, please submit your request for consideration, by email, to PRParks@pointroberts.net.  

Thank you,
Linda Hughes, Chairperson
Point Roberts Park and Recreation District #1
