The Bellevue City Council approved two ballot measures for November’s election that — if passed —will cost Bellevue homeowners an average of $176 per year.

The measures focus on fire facilities and transportation.

The council voted 6-0 to place the measures on the Nov. 8 general election ballot after several weeks of discussion and adjustments to the original plan.

Mayor John Stokes commented on the measures in a release from the city.

“These proposals are targeted investments by the community, for the community,” he said. “The process of putting together these two measures has been a great team effort. Now it’s for the voters to weigh in.”

If approved, the measures would increase property taxes. The fire facilities measure would increase that tax by 12.5 cents per $1,000 of assessed property value. Transportation would increase property tax by 15 cents per $1,000.

With a median home value of $640,000, Bellevue homeowners would pay an additional $176 in property tax if the measures pass.

The “Fire Facilities” measure wants to make some significant changes to stations around the city, including building a new station in the Downtown Bellevue neighborhood, retrofitting stations around the city for seismic activity, warehouse space for reserve equipment and other upgrades to existing stations.

The “Transportation Neighborhood Safety, Connectivity and Congestion” measure would focus on new sidewalks and trails around the city, new bicycle facilities, reducing neighborhood congestion and improving neighborhood safety for motorists, cyclists and pedestrians.

City-led surveys found that more than 60 percent of residents were in favor of the ballots, one reason council members approved the measures for the ballot.
