Board schedules second public hearing on EMS levy for Aug. 13 at 6 p.m.
Summary
After extended public comment, the Hardin County Board voted unanimously to hold an additional public hearing on the EMS essential-service levy at 6 p.m. Aug. 13, 2026, at the County Engineer's Office to finalize ballot language and meet election publication deadlines.
Following public comment on July 22, the Hardin County Board of Supervisors voted to schedule a second public hearing on the EMS essential-service property tax levy for Aug. 13, 2026, at 6:00 p.m. at the County Engineer's Office. The motion to set the date was proposed by a commissioner and seconded; the board approved it by voice vote.
Board members said the Aug. 13 meeting was chosen both to allow more public engagement and to ensure publication deadlines are met so the measure can appear on the Nov. 3 ballot if the board proceeds. One board member noted the timeline: "this would need to be wrapped up by September 3 to make the November 3 ballot deadline." Staff will prepare ballot language, outreach materials and any required notices for publication in the local paper ahead of the deadline.
The Aug. 13 meeting will include time‑sensitive action items: the board indicated it expects to consider final ballot language and any formal motions to place the levy question before voters. Residents who want to comment at the follow-up hearing were directed to sign up on the public comment sheet and to follow published meeting notices in local media.
