Distributions from township general fund for benefit of
senior citizens. Whenever the electors attending an annual or special township
meeting determine that the general township fund of the township
contains funds not derived from a township tax levy that are not needed
for township purposes during the remainder of the then current fiscal year,
the electors may, by a resolution adopted by the affirmative vote of two-thirds
of the electors attending the meeting, direct that all or any portion of the
funds be distributed to a for profit (or not for profit) and non-sectarian
organization that provides services or facilities to the township's older
inhabitants or to the board of managers of a township community building to be
used for the operation and maintenance of a non-sectarian activity and guidance
center for the older inhabitants of the township. The electors attending the
annual or special township meeting may also, by a resolution adopted
by the affirmative vote of two-thirds of those electors attending, direct that
all or a portion of the available funds be expended directly by the township to
provide the services or facilities for older inhabitants described in this
Article.
