Chanute Recreation Commission adopts 1965 66 budget
The Chanute Recreation Commission approves a $26 000 budget for 1965 66 starting July 1 up from $19 820. The recreation tax levy drops from 1 65 to 1 5 mills as the unified school district tax base spreads over the entire district. The levy remains until April 1967 when voters decide on continuing the unified district. If not continued, the tax area reverts to Chanute limits. The unified district valuation is about $17 million versus $12 million previously. The panel aims rural service, budgets rural leaders, cites county Red Cross swimming as example of urban rural cooperation. Other actions include summer program review, toilet equipment, Little League sites, diamond maintenance policy, and raises for Recreation Director Martin Rotunno and secretary Brenda Jackson.
