County flags strain on community-services funding; expense-district model discussed
Summary
A county official said community-services funding has been squeezed this year (about $180,000 cited) and presented alternatives such as local expense districts while promoting an upcoming connectivity summit tied to community services.
Greg Brotherton told the meeting the county faces revenue difficulties that have affected community services funding, citing about $180,000 as an impacted amount in the budget. He said the county issued an RFP for Quilting Brennan and Tri-area community centers and that officials are exploring more resilient funding mechanisms, including a local expense-district model under which a community could retain property-tax revenue to operate a center.
Brotherton also promoted a connectivity summit (March 27–28) described as part of the county's strategic plan; he said the county's presentation will focus on community services and that hundreds of nonprofits and public agencies will participate.
