Recreation 6
UPDATE: Both of these Mills have passed. If you are interested in sitting in at the recreation board meetings they meet the first Tuesday of every month at the Montegut Gym.
Montegut and Point-Aux-Chenes Recreation District 6 on the
ballot for October 20th 2007
Recreation District 6 was created in 1958 as a service for the community of
District 6. The pool was built first and the gym followed later. For the past 50
years the only major renovations that have been done to the gym are a new roof
in 2001, new bathroom in 2005, and a new 25 ton
air conditioner in 2006.
Recreation District 6 is currently receiving 8 mills of Ad Valorum Taxes for the
purpose of operation and maintaining they gym and surrounding property. A mill
produces approximately $31,300. The present income of the gym is $249,958.00 in
ad valorum taxes. The operating budget of the gym s approximately $225.000.00
There is a small amount available for emergencies, which happens in our area.
On October 20, 2007 the Recreation District of Montegut and Point-Aux-Chenes
will have on the ballot two propositions, one for bonds, the other to increase
the maintenance millage to 10 mills. The bond millage will be to build a new
softball/baseball complex, update the swimming pool, the tennis courts, and
replace all necessary fencing in these areas. Additional Playground equipment
will also be purchased. The Increase in the maintenance millage will be to
better maintain the additional improvements to the ball fields, the gym and the
play areas.
The taxes for Recreation District 6 are mostly paid by the oil and gas
companies, the businesses in Montegut and Point-Aux-Chenes, the camps on South
Madison and some by the homeowners. Most homes in Montegut are not above the the
$75,000.00 assessed value, so therefore do not pay taxes because they are
homestead exempt. A house at $80,000.00 paid about $50.00 in taxes for
2006-2007. The tax for the bonds will cost approximately $5.00 yearly for a
house valued at $80,000.00
