ORC seeks one mill levy to balance youth programs
Ottawa Recreation Commission chief Don Williams told The Herald that 1986 youth softball and baseball ran about $9,409 in the red after $4,005 in user fees against $13,414.15 in costs. Insurance rose sharply, raising per player costs from 3.02 to 5.88 for baseball and 4.16 to 7.44 for softball. A one mill tax hike would raise about $35,000, potentially ending participation cards subsidy and shifting costs to households. the Ottawa school board will consider the request at its next meeting.
