Commission pledges $100,000 in mining‑severance interest for Spirit of the Hills senior center, contingent on $3.5M fundraiser
Summary
The commission approved a $100,000 pledge from mining-severance tax interest for the Spirit of the Hills senior center project, contingent on the group raising $3.5 million within five years.
Representatives of the Spirit of the Hills Senior Center requested a $100,000 pledge from mining-severance tax interest as matching or trigger funding for a roughly $3.5 million building project. A steering-committee member said the pledge would be released if the center meets a fundraising threshold within five years.
The commission moved and seconded the pledge using interest from the mining-severance fund and recorded the motion as approved: "It's been moved by you and seconded by Kisdale to approve using mine severance tax fund interest to pledge to Sparky Senior Center of a $100,000 contingent on the raising 3,500,000 for the project within 5 years," the chair read as the motion was recorded. Commissioners voted in favor and the pledge was made contingent on the fundraising trigger.
