The Greene County Board of Commissioners voted to proceed with placing a 0.8‑mill public health levy on the November 2025 ballot, a step staff said is the second of two necessary actions.

County staff told commissioners the levy would "generate about 3 and a half million dollars a year" and that the resolution being considered was "the second of 2 steps that'll get it on the November ballot." The board took a roll‑call vote after a motion to proceed.

Nut graf: The levy, if approved by voters, would fund the county public health office; staff described the action before the board as a procedural step to get the question on the ballot and gave the board an annual revenue estimate.

Commissioners did not debate levy uses in detail at the meeting; the transcript contains only staff explanation and the formal vote to proceed. The motion to move forward was made and seconded and then put to a roll‑call vote recorded in the transcript.

Background: The presenter described the item as a renewal process and framed the current vote as a procedural requirement prior to the November ballot. No detailed spending plan was presented at this meeting, and the record does not show additional fiscal breakdowns beyond staff's annual revenue estimate.

Next steps: The county's Board of Elections will place the levy question on the November 2025 ballot for voter approval, per the resolution of necessity process the county staff described.
