re: Looks like Live Oak Sports complex may be shutting down

after looking into this "tax renewal" a little more, I found this little gem.....
quote:
Parks and Recreation District 2 is asking voters to continue collecting 15 mills in the district to help maintain and improve the district’s facilities, board Chairman Ken Graves said. The district primarily operates the Live Oak Sports Complex, which offers youth sports leagues but is looking to provide more services, Graves said.
The millage is expected to bring in about $850,000 per year and accounts for the vast majority of the district’s funding. The district has an annual operating budget of about $700,000 but has several projects on the horizon, Graves said.
The district is looking to purchase land near the complex for cross country biking and jogging trails. Further down the line, Graves would like to build a community center that could host events such as wedding receptions.
“The size is going to be dictated by the funding we have,” he said.
In January, the district plans to break ground for a concession area at the sports complex. The board chairman said it would not have a full kitchen but would feature restroom facilities and a pavilion. Specifics of the construction have yet to be hammered out, as the bidding period has not closed.

700k a year budget?
I would have voted no too
Know what my parents did when they wanted a ball park for us to play in? They did fundraisers and built it themselves, they didn't ask for a tax.
