Donation from Friends of Oak Grove Park tabled until November amid levy concerns
Summary
Members of the Friends of Oak Grove Park presented their planned dissolution and fund donation; Commissioner Babitz asked the nonprofit to consider postponing acceptance because of an upcoming election and potential levy impacts. Administrator Williams tabled the resolution until the Nov. 18, 2024 meeting.
Members of the Friends of Oak Grove Park described the group's planned 501(c)(3) dissolution and proposed donation of funds to the county. Commissioner Babitz raised concerns that an upcoming election and a county levy could affect how those funds would be designated if accepted now, and asked the organization to consider postponing final action.
Representatives of the nonprofit agreed to the board’s request. County Administrator Allison Williams then tabled the resolution and indicated the matter would come back to the Board of Commissioners on Nov. 18, 2024 for further consideration.
No formal vote to accept the donation occurred at the Aug. 19 meeting; the record shows the board and the nonprofit agreed to defer a final decision until the November meeting so the election context and levy effects can be assessed.
