Board authorizes appeal over 4.2-mill reallocation
Summary
The Claymont City Board unanimously authorized legal counsel to appeal the Tuscarawas County Budget Commission's failure to acknowledge a reallocation of 4.2 inside mills for permanent improvements, giving the commission until March 1, 2026 to act. The move was approved as a formal resolution added to the agenda and passed by roll call.
The Claymont City Board of Education voted unanimously February 9 to authorize legal counsel to file an appeal with the Ohio Board of Tax Appeals after the Tuscarawas County Budget Commission did not acknowledge the board’s April 14, 2025 reallocation of 4.2 mills of inside millage for permanent improvements.
The resolution states that counsel should file an appeal “unless the Commission takes action on or before March 1, 2026 acknowledging the Board’s April 14, 2025 reallocation of its 4.2 mills of inside millage.” The addendum to the agenda adding the resolution was moved by Mrs. Host and seconded by Ms. Campbell; the formal New Business approval was recorded later in the meeting. Roll call votes were recorded as unanimous in favor.
Board members did not debate the specific legal strategy at length during the public session; the action creates a procedural deadline for the county commission and establishes the next legal step if the commission does not act. The resolution and vote were recorded as part of the official meeting minutes.
