Community members urge outreach as district weighs facility funding options
Summary
Two community members asked about millage comparisons and urged open communication and community support for facility proposals as the district considers bonds or a sinking fund and possible November 2026 ballot placement.
During the public comment portion of the Feb. 26 workshop, two community members addressed the board about facility funding and community outreach. Sheldon Parker asked about the district's millage rate, comparisons to neighboring districts, funding levels and how facility needs factor into potential ballot proposals.
"Mr. Parker asked questions regarding the district's millage rate, comparisons to neighboring districts, potential funding levels, facility needs, and considerations related to possible ballot proposals." Later, community member Ted Halitsky urged the district to work with and gain support from the community and said that open communication can help residents understand ongoing and emerging facility needs.
"Mr. Halitsky shared comments about the need to work with and gain support from the community regarding facility needs and future planning." Neither commenter proposed a specific financing amount or millage rate in the public record; both comments focused on questions and urging greater engagement rather than on technical financing details.
