Summary
The Board of Trustees of Crosby Township voted to accept amounts and rates certified by the Hamilton County Budget Commission as the township's revenue for the 2026 budget year, recording the action as Resolution 27-2025 and directing certification to the county auditor.
Crosby Township's Board of Trustees adopted Resolution 27-2025 on Nov. 6, 2025, accepting the amounts and rates certified by the Hamilton County Budget Commission as the township's revenue for the 2026 tax year. The resolution directs the fiscal office to certify the levies to the Hamilton County auditor.
The resolution was read aloud to the meeting, which the trustees then moved and seconded for adoption. Speaker 3 asked trustees to "accept a resolution that we accept what the Hamilton County has told us," and Speaker 1 read the formal language of the resolution as the board moved to adopt it. After a roll call the presiding speaker stated, "This resolution passes," and said the signed document would be entered in the township's resolution book and forwarded to the county auditor.
Trustees said the county audit office delivered the budget commission's certification only a few days after the prior meeting, and the township did not receive supporting property-level values or mill-rate breakdowns from the county in time to verify each line item before adoption. Trustee comments recorded in the meeting said the board was adopting the county-certified amounts to make the certified revenue source official for the 2026 budget and that further verification would require the county to supply property values and mill rates.
The action establishes the revenue baseline the township will use in its budget process. The trustees indicated they will complete further budget work and prioritize spending during a planned budget meeting in early December.
The resolution reading includes language naming "the Board of Trustees of Crosby Township, Hamilton, Ohio," and cites certification by the Budget Commission and the county auditor. The board recorded the resolution as "27-2025" and directed the fiscal office to forward a certified copy to the Hamilton County auditor.
The meeting moved immediately after the resolution to a facilitated pre-budget planning session to develop strategic priorities and budget requests for 2026.
Next steps: trustees will use the county-certified revenue in the township's budget development and hold an early-December meeting to set specific spending line items informed by tonight's planning session.
