Commissioner Elliott says senior center millage request constrained by ballot wording
Summary
Commissioner Mac Elliott told the Finance Committee a senior center request to allocate millage money cannot proceed now because the millage wording limits allowable uses; he also raised broader public transportation concerns.
Commissioner Mac Elliott raised concerns about public transportation and described a request from a senior center to use millage funds. Elliott said the committee could not act on the senior center request at this time "due to wording of the millage," indicating a legal or ballot-language constraint on how those funds may be spent.
The committee did not adopt a policy change or direct staff to reallocate millage funds during this meeting. Members flagged the issue for clarification and follow-up; Tax Equalization Director Warren Parrish and county counsel were asked to provide any necessary legal interpretation to the full Board of Commissioners.
