South Venice trustees roll back millage for district needs
The South Venice Road and Bridge District trustees reduced their millage from 12.13 to 8.98 mills, saving hardship for property owners. Chairman Hartley P. Desmond noted the $22,962 difference was unnecessary for the coming year, keeping $65,515 to sustain road improvements and preserve the area's appeal for future buyers. The trustees, including Russell Bell and Albert W. Pfannbuch, earned praise for prudent budgeting and ongoing work to improve South Venice streets.
