Trustees vote to place 3-mill levy on June ballot; clerk to confirm ambulance-service wording
Summary
The Norwich Township Trustees voted to put a 3-mill levy renewal on the June 5 primary ballot and directed the clerk to consult the prosecutor's office about wording to include ambulance service in the levy.
Trustees moved to place a renewal of a 3-mill levy on the June 5 primary ballot and approved the motion. Mr. Rice made the motion and Mr. Workman seconded it; the minutes record the vote as unanimous 'Aye'.
The board directed the clerk to check with the prosecutor's office to obtain appropriate ballot wording that would include ambulance service in the levy language. The minutes record the instruction to the clerk without specifying the exact statutory citation or final language.
Why this matters: a successful levy renewal would provide continuing local taxing authority to fund services identified by the trustees, and the inclusion of ambulance service in the ballot language could affect the scope of permitted expenditures. The clerk's follow-up with legal counsel is required to ensure ballot language is correct and legally sufficient before submission to the board and election authorities.
