Three Levy Renewals, NO NEW TAXES, May 5, 2015
The electors of the City of North Ridgeville will have an opportunity to vote on three renewals of an existing tax on the May 5, 2015 ballot. Briefly highlighted below are the three ballot issues:
- Issue 17: Street Levy – renewal of an existing 1.9-mill tax levy for the purpose of general construction, reconstruction, resurfacing and repair of streets, roads and bridges, for a period of five years.
- Issue 18: Police Levy – renewal of an existing 1.95-mill tax levy for the purpose of providing and maintaining motor vehicles, communications, and other equipment used directly in the operation of the Police Department, including payment of salaries of permanent police personnel, for a period of five years.
- Issue 19: Fire Levy – renewal of an existing 1.9-mill tax levy for the purpose of providing and maintaining fire apparatus, appliances and buildings and sites therefor and for the payment of salaries for firemen, for a period of five years.
These three levies combined generate about $4 million in property tax revenues to the city. It is imperative that we renew all three levies to continue the services that our residents have come to expect and deserve. Again, all three of these issues are renewal levies and not a new or additional tax increase.
