County commissioner tells Harrison council about $73,000 opioid settlement share and a 38% children’s services levy proposal
Summary
Hamilton County Commissioner briefed council members on opioid settlement distributions to Harrison ($73,000 as of July 2026), organics/recycling initiatives, and that the county’s recommendation reduced a proposed 80% levy increase to a 38% children’s services levy for November.
Hamilton County Commissioner Denise visited the Harrison City Council and described county resources and grant opportunities, saying as of July 2026 Harrison had received $73,000 in opioid‑related settlement distributions.
Commissioner Denise also discussed county recycling and organics efforts, a request for information to involve private partners in organics collection, and the county tax‑levy recommendation: the tax levy review committee initially recommended an 80% increase for children’s services but commissioners reduced that request to a 38% increase for the November ballot, which Commissioner Denise characterized as a balance between need and taxpayer impact — "a $39 increase for somebody that owns a $100,000 home," she said.
