Recently seventeen folks got together at the Eureka City hall to discuss how to best proceed with the creation of a new taxing district.
The Legal Record says that Tiera Darnall-Charlton of Secor, who ran unsuccessfully for the Woodford County Board in the Republican primary, "was chosen chair of the 'committee".
Why someone that lives in Secor and works in Bloomington would chair a committee for a Eureka park is a puzzlement. Is that how big this proposed tax district is going to be? We think not, but these folks seem to believe that a taxing authority encompassing essentially what is the CUSD #140 area might fly.
Unspecified "Eureka city officials" have said without the formation of a park district, out-of-city program participants might be forced to pay additional park usage fees in the near future. So, let's see . . . we can pay extra fees or have a Park District taxing authority? We choose the extra fees, thanks very much.
Others in this committee's rogues gallery apparently include EYRA president Bill Schulz (president of the Eureka Youth Recreation Association), Gerald Moxley(athletics?), Sherry Silverthorn(Tri-County Planning Commission?) and Jerry Babbs(CUSD #140?).
Hold on to your wallets, folks.
