Huron County mental health board asks voters to renew 10-year levy on Nov. 4
Summary
Mircea Handru, interim director of the Huron County Mental Health and Addiction Board, told Willard council the Nov. 4 measure is a renewal, not a tax increase, and would fund local mental-health, recovery, crisis-intervention and addiction services for 10 years.
Mircea Handru, interim director of the Huron County Mental Health and Addiction Board, presented to the Willard City Council on Oct. 20 and urged support for a 10-year renewal levy on the Nov. 4, 2025 ballot. Handru described the levy as a renewal, not a tax increase, and said funds support mental-health services, recovery supports, crisis intervention and addiction services across Huron County.
Handru told council there are 50 county mental-health boards serving Ohio’s 88 counties and that the Huron County board’s measure would continue funding local programs the board currently operates or supports. Handru emphasized levy law that limits collections to the amount set when the levy was first passed regardless of rising property values, and framed the renewal as maintaining existing service levels rather than expanding taxes.
The presentation did not include detailed dollar amounts or program-by-program allocations in the meeting record. Council did not take a formal vote on the levy; Handru’s visit was recorded as a presentation to inform council and the public ahead of the Nov. 4 election.
The council packet and meeting minutes identify the measure as a renewal on the Nov. 4 ballot; additional financial and program details were not specified in the meeting record provided to council on Oct. 20.
