I received a heads up from somebody "in the know" about this item on tomorrow's BCC meeting agenda. I am hoping that there is a good explanation, or if this is allowable, that the item is removed from tomorrow's agenda and we can lobby to keep our South Walton money in South Walton at a future meeting. Thoughts?
I just sent this email to the County Commissioners, and it explains the issue.
Good afternoon Commissioners,
It has just been brought to my attention that $10,000 of District 5 Recreational Plat Fees are on the agenda to be voted on and allocated to the “Darlington School Roof Project” (from the published agenda for tomorrow’s meeting, 3/27/2012, Tab A, item 7).
I have a few questions, and as this item will be addressed at a meeting in DeFuniak and I will be at work and not be able to attend, I would like to have this item postponed to another meeting, which will also give us time to look into this matter. In the meantime, maybe you can answer a few questions for us!
Why is District 5 Recreational Plat money going to another district?
Why is District 5 Recreational money going to a school project, and one not even in our district? Why is this expense not covered by the WCSD?
We have to scrape and scream for every bit of recreational money we get in South Walton, so this agenda item appears to be giving it away to another district. We could really use every dime, and $10,000 is not that much, but I bet we could find plenty of people in South Walton that would have a great idea how to use money that appears to be ours to use, not yours to give away.
I look forward to your response.
