Resident urges caution on repeating road millage; one speaker backs system change for road funding

Feb 5, 2025

At the Feb. 5 committee meeting, resident Shane Jenkins urged the board not to repeat a previously defeated millage and said election costs could have funded roads; Stan Shook later said he supported a new building and changes to the road-funding system. No motions or votes on millage were recorded.

The minutes record Jenkins’ concern but do not show a formal response or board action on repeating a millage proposal.
