Draft ordinance would seek voter approval to raise ambulance/EMS levy to 4.0 mills
Summary
A draft resolution would ask the Medina County Auditor to certify revenue for renewing a 3.0-mill levy with a 1.0-mill increase to constitute a 4.0-mill levy for five years; the draft lists November 3, 2026 as the ballot date and indicates first collections in 2028.
City councilors reviewed a draft resolution that would request certification from the Medina County Auditor for placement of an ambulance and emergency medical services levy on the November 3, 2026 ballot. The draft proposes renewing an existing 3.0-mill levy with an increase of 1.0 mill to constitute a 4.0-mill levy for five years, citing Ohio Revised Code sections 5705.03 and 5705.19(U); it sets the ballot date as November 3, 2026 and states the tax would first be levied in 2026 with collections beginning in 2028 as written in the draft.
The draft directs the Clerk of Council to certify and transmit a copy to the Medina County Auditor for valuation and revenue calculations; the resolution contains standard open-meeting findings and a certificate of publication. The draft did not include a revenue estimate in the body; the auditor's certification is required to calculate the dollar amount the levy would generate if approved by voters.
