Council reviews draft resolution to renew fire levy with decrease to 0.75 mill on Nov. 3 ballot
Summary
One draft resolution would renew a 1.5-mill levy and reduce it by 0.75 mill to a 0.75-mill levy for five years, to fund fire apparatus, underwater rescue equipment, alarm communications and related buildings; the resolution asks the Medina County Auditor to certify valuation and expected revenue for placement on the November 3, 2026 ballot.
Council reviewed a draft resolution on June 16 that would ask the Medina County Auditor to certify the city's current tax valuation and the revenue that would result from a renewal-with-decrease levy to fund fire apparatus and related equipment. The draft describes renewing a 1.5-mill levy with a decrease of 0.75 mill to constitute a 0.75-mill levy, designates a five-year term and sets the ballot date as November 3, 2026; it cites Ohio Revised Code sections 5705.03 and 5705.19(I).
The draft instructs the Clerk of Council to forward a certified copy to the county auditor and affirms that the territory to be levied is the entire City of Wadsworth in Medina County. The resolution text notes the council's finding that formal actions were taken in open meetings consistent with ORC 121.22. The draft did not include a revenue estimate in the body; the resolution asks the county auditor to provide the dollar amount of revenue that the renewal-with-decrease would generate.
