Lorain County commissioners send 0.5-mill health district renewal to be certified for Nov. 3 ballot
Summary
The board voted July 14 to request the county auditor certify current valuation and revenue estimates for a 0.5-mill renewal levy for the Lorain County General Health District to be placed on the Nov. 3, 2026 ballot; the levy, if approved, would run five years beginning in 2027.
The Lorain County Board of Commissioners on July 14 adopted Resolution No. 26-400 asking the county auditor to certify the county's current tax valuation and the dollar amount a 0.5-mill levy would yield for the Lorain County General Health District. The board specified the measure will be submitted countywide to voters on Nov. 3, 2026, as a five-year renewal that would first be collected in 2027 if approved.
Commissioner David J. Moore moved adoption and Commissioner Marty Gallagher seconded; the motion carried with Commissioners Moore, Gallagher and Jeff Riddell voting aye. The resolution cites Ohio Revised Code sections referenced in the transcript (3709.29 and other sections) as the statutory basis for the certification and submittal. No changes to levy rate or duration were made in the meeting; the resolution corrects prior references and confirms the county will place the renewal on the November ballot.
