North Bend council moves to seek certified levy and continues talks after Miami Township fire-EMS funding change
Summary
The council voted to begin the paperwork to place a continuing emergency medical services levy on the May 5 ballot and discussed a 90‑day extension with Miami Township as negotiations continue over a proposed contract and cost allocation.
The Village of North Bend voted on Jan. 27 to request county certification for a proposed continuing levy tied to fire and EMS funding, while village leaders said talks with Miami Township will continue during a 90‑day contract extension.
The levy action followed several council members’ warnings that Miami Township’s failed combined levies and a revised contract proposal would raise North Bend’s share of costs. Mayor (name not specified) told the council North Bend accounts for about 8.3% of Miami Township runs; Addison accounts for 10.3% and Cleves 22%. He said Addison currently pays about $40,000 through its levy, North Bend pays about $189,000 and Cleves about $252,000, creating what village officials described as a disparities-per-run concern.
