Austintown trustees ask county auditor to certify a 2.22-mill levy request
Summary
Trustees unanimously approved a resolution requesting Mahoning County Auditor certification for an additional 2.22 mills beyond the ten-mill limit; the resolution passed by roll call and follows trustees' remarks about seeking non-tax revenue sources.
Trustee Robert Santos moved and Trustee Monica Deavers seconded a resolution asking the Mahoning County Auditor to certify the figures needed for an additional 2.22 mills in excess of the ten-mill limitation. The motion passed by unanimous roll call (Resolution #25-06-02-02).
The resolution directs the fiscal officer to seek auditor certification of the amounts necessary for placement on a future ballot. The transcript does not specify a proposed duration for the levy or how the proceeds would be allocated.
During trustees' remarks later in the meeting, Mr. Santos said the board continues to pursue "other sources" of revenue such as racino and dispensary funds, noting a desire to reduce reliance on property-tax increases. The board did not take a separate vote to change revenue strategy at the meeting.
