There are two replacement levies, one for 1.5 mills and one for 1 mill, on Tuesday's ballot for the Ada War Memorial Park.
Both levies replace those approved by voters in the 1970s. Since then, inflation has cut into what can be accomplished with the property tax income that was generated by the expiring levies.
"The budget has been very tight the last few years," commented Tony Wolke, long-time park board member. "We hope the voters approve both of the five-year levies."
