This bill aims to amend the existing legislation governing the Greater Huntington Park and Recreation District by allowing the Cabell County Board of Education to provide financial support to the park district through special and excess levies. Specifically, it changes the language from "shall" to "may," giving the Board of Education the discretion to allocate these funds. This amendment is intended to enhance the financial resources available for the maintenance and operation of the park district, ensuring its sustainability and ability to serve the community effectively.

In addition to the changes regarding the Board of Education's funding capabilities, the bill outlines various mechanisms for the park district to generate revenue, including the imposition of service fees, the issuance of revenue bonds, and the collection of levies on property within the district. The bill also specifies the requirements for public approval of service fees and bond issuances, ensuring that the community has a say in the financial decisions affecting the park district. Overall, the proposed changes are designed to strengthen the financial foundation of the Greater Huntington Park and Recreation District, enabling it to better serve the public.
