Commissioners approve sending mental-health levy increase to voters
Summary
The board approved a resolution to submit to electors a proposal to levy a tax in excess of the 10-mill limitation under the Ohio Revised Code for the county mental-health agency.
The Richland County Board of Commissioners approved a resolution to submit to the electors a question to levy a tax in excess of the 10-mill limitation under the Ohio Revised Code for the county mental-health agency.
Commissioner Vero explained that the mental-health agency answered commissioners' budget questions and requested a renewal with an increase. "At this time, I'll ask for a resolution to proceed with the submission to the electors, the question of levying a tax in excess of the 10 mil limitation under the Ohio Revised Code for our mental health agency," Vero said.
The commissioners took a roll-call style voice vote on the resolution as recorded in the transcript; members present voted in favor. The motion advanced the levy question to the ballot so voters can decide whether to approve the tax in excess of the statutory limitation.
The transcript records the vote as affirmative by the commissioners present; no further details about the levy rate, duration or ballot language were provided in the excerpt.
