dollars of the assessed value upon real estate not exempted by law from
taxation herein imposed, exclusive of buildings and improvements thereon, in
the WEST PARK DISTRICT, in Kansas City, Missouri, and that the maintenance tax

of Parks and Recreation Commissioners, a maintenance tax of fifty cents ($.50)
on each hundred dollars of the assessed value upon real estate not exempted by law
from taxation herein imposed, exclusive of buildings and improvements thereon,

to the valuation and assessment of real estate in the WEST PARK DISTRICT for
the Fiscal Year 1999-2000, pursuant to Section 60 of Article III of the Charter

pursuant to the Charter and ordinances of Kansas City; and all interest on the
moneys collected under this ordinance and deposited, if any, paid to the City
shall be credited to and become a part of the maintenance tax fund and shall be
used for the same purposes for which this assessment is made.
