PAGE 8 -- WESTSIDE MESSENGER - <strong>October</strong> - 2, 2, <strong>2022</strong><br />
Commissioners still<br />
pushing for more<br />
westside recreation<br />
By Hannah Poling<br />
Staff Writer<br />
David Hooie, neighborhood program coordinator for the city of<br />
Columbus, attended the September meeting of the Westland Area<br />
Commission to listen to ideas for a recreation center on the westside.<br />
Hooie said he has been involved in Westland in some way for<br />
more than 20 years.<br />
“I do believe that you guys need some attention,” he said.<br />
According to Hooie, there are several other area commissions<br />
within the city that all have the same request. In his opinion, if all<br />
three commissions were pulled together to request one central<br />
location, it would make a stronger case than each commission<br />
alone.<br />
“If we get three commissions to all agree that they want this,<br />
it’s more powerful,” said Hooie.<br />
Janet Cahill, chair of the parks and recreation committee, said<br />
that they have already reached out to the other commissions adjacent<br />
to them to come to a meeting and see if they could combine<br />
resources.<br />
“They do not think that it’s in their best interest,” said Cahill.<br />
Hooie suggested commissioners arrange a meeting with city’s<br />
parks and recreation leaders.<br />
Cahill said she has requested the parks department provide a<br />
report on the park’s dedication funds.<br />
According to Cahill, these funds have been accumulating since<br />
1985 and she anticipated on the account having plenty of money<br />
to invest in the recreation center.<br />
Cahill said the commission’s parks and recreation committee<br />
has talked to numerous individuals to determine a potential property<br />
to build a recreation center. However, she said she spoke with<br />
the parks and recreation deputy director who reported that the<br />
city has no plans to build another recreation center.<br />
“The bottom line was there will be no more recreation centers<br />
built in the city of Columbus,” said Cahill.<br />
The commissioners wants to make some progress, even if it’s<br />
creating a park similar to Alkire Park.<br />
Cahill and Hooie agreed that having a meeting with influential<br />
people in the city may be of benefit.<br />
“People higher up the food chain would be nice,” said commissioner<br />
Nancy Day-Achauer. “We have talked to pretty much everyone<br />
below on the food chain.”<br />
Hooie said he would try to facilitate a meeting.<br />
“I do think it needs to be brought to light,” he said. “I will bring<br />
it up to my director.”<br />

Senior Services levy<br />
Voters will decide on the proposed Franklin County Senior<br />
Services levy renewal on Nov. 8.<br />
The proposed five year tax levy renewal is for 1.75 mills, $0.175<br />
per $100 of valuation, commencing in <strong>2022</strong>. Officials state it is not<br />
a tax increase.<br />
The levy provides funding for Franklin County Senior Options<br />
and its services designed to help seniors remain safely at home.<br />
These services include meals-on-wheels, transportation to doctor<br />
appointments, and emergency response buttons.<br />
The existing senior services levy will expire at the end of <strong>2022</strong>.<br />
The senior levy is the main funding source for Senior Options programs.<br />
