Troy City Councilman Tom Kendall said he voted “no” at the June 20 council meeting on placing the proposed 2.01-mill recreation levy on the ballot because he had not seen a plan for how other funding needed would be raised.

Kendall was the lone dissenting vote in the 8-1 decision.

“I looked at it from the business side,” Kendall said. “So far I haven’t seen the plan of how they are going to do this … to make it happen.”

Kendall said he realizes projects are needed but thinks other options should be explored before turning to voters for money.

If approved by voters, the bond issue would generate $1 million a year for 10 years for a more than $14 million project. Proposed projects include baseball and soccer fields, improvements at the Senior Citizens Center and addition of a driving range and update of the clubhouse at Miami Shores Golf Course.
