IRON MOUNTAIN — Senior centers in Dickinson County will receive no increased property tax allocations in 2025, but about $35,000 is being held in reserve, according to County Controller Brian Bousley.

After meeting with representatives of senior centers and the Dickinson-Iron Community Services Agency, the county board decided to keep distributions the same as in 2024. The revenues are from a county-wide voter-approved levy of 0.4 mills, or 40 cents per $1,000 of taxable value.

Minutes from a Nov. 11 special county board meeting show that DICSA requested an increased allocation of $50,000, while several senior centers also sought increases: Felch, $13,000 more; Iron Mountain, $10,000 more; and Sagola, $2,000 more.

At a Nov. 22 special county board meeting, commissioners voted unanimously to make no changes for 2025. Letters were sent to the respective parties to inform them of the decision and $35,000 in higher revenues this year will serve as a contingency fund, Bousley said.

DICSA will again receive $300,000 of the $496,000 being distributed. DICSA’s share helps provide home-delivered meals and other programs, including in-home services, transportation and support for the Family Ties adult day care center.

Allocations for the five senior centers are:

— $60,000 for Norway-Vulcan.

— $60,000 for Crystal Lake Activity Center in Iron Mountain.

— $36,000 for Breen Center in Kingsford.

— $28,000 for Sagola Township.

— $12,000 for Felch Township.

Norway-Vulcan also gets support from a levy of 0.5 mills, or 50 cents per $1,000 of taxable value, from the city of Norway and Norway and Waucedah townships. The Norway center partially separated from DICSA in 2016.
