Terrace Park council requests auditor certify revenue for renewal of 5.58‑mill levy
Summary
Council approved an emergency resolution to ask the Hamilton County Auditor to certify revenue calculations for renewing the village’s existing 5.58‑mill operating levy, a levy described as accounting for roughly 40% of village revenue and not increasing taxes.
The Village of Terrace Park council on March 10 voted to request that the Hamilton County Auditor certify revenue calculations for renewing the village’s existing 5.58‑mill operating levy. The resolution was advanced and adopted as an emergency.
Mrs. Sharp described the levy as a renewal of an existing 5.58‑mill operating levy and emphasized that the action would not raise residents' taxes; she said the levy accounts for approximately 40% of village revenue. "It would not increase taxes. We are just renewing it," she said, and stated the auditor’s certification is the next procedural step before the levy is placed on the ballot for voter consideration.
The resolution directs staff to obtain official numbers from the county auditor and to return to council with those figures so the measure can be placed on the ballot and a village awareness campaign can be organized in the fall.
Council members adopted the request by affirmative roll call. The transcript records that the measure was advanced as an emergency to meet procedural timelines; actual ballot placement and any eventual voter approval remain future steps outside the council’s direct control.
