PIF Levy A RESOLUTION DECLARING IT NECESSARY TO RENEW AN EXISTING TAX LEVY FOR THE PURPOSE OF ACQUIRING REAL ESTATE FOR SCHOOL PURPOSES, CONSTRUCTING, EXPANDING, REHABILITATING, REMODELING AND IMPROVING SCHOOL BUILDINGS, ACQUIRING FURNITURE, FURNISHINGS AND EQUIPMENT FOR SCHOOL PURPOSES AND LANDSCAPING AND IMPROVING SCHOOL SITES AND REQUESTING THE SUMMIT COUNTY FISCAL OFFICER TO CERTIFY THE TOTAL CURRENT TAX VALUATION OF THE SCHOOL DISTRICT AND THE DOLLAR AMOUNT OF REVENUE THAT WOULD BE GENERATED BY THAT RENEWAL LEVY, UNDER SECTIONS 5705.03(B) AND 5705.21 OF THE REVISED CODE. Whereas, at an election on May 8, 2007, the electors of the Hudson City School District approved the replacement of a 1.5-mill ad valorem property tax levy for five years for the purpose of acquiring real estate for school purposes, constructing, expanding, rehabilitating, remodeling and improving school buildings, acquiring furniture, furnishings and equipment for school purposes and 7
landscaping and improving school sites; and Whereas, the authority to levy that 1.5-mill tax expires with the levy on the 2011 tax list and duplicate for last collection in calendar year 2012; and Whereas, this Board finds that the amount of taxes which may be raised within the ten-mill limitation will be insufficient to provide an adequate amount for the necessary requirements of the School District and that it is necessary to renew the aforementioned tax levy in excess of that limitation for five years; and Whereas, in accordance with Division (B) of Section 5705.03 of the Revised Code, in order to submit the question of a tax levy pursuant to Section 5705.21 of the Revised Code, this Board must request that the Summit County Fiscal Officer certify (i) the total current tax valuation of the School District, and (ii) the dollar amount of revenue that would be generated by the levy; and Whereas, in accordance with Division (B) of Section 5705.03 of the Revised Code, upon receipt of a certified copy of a resolution of this Board declaring the necessity of the tax, stating its purpose, whether it is an additional levy or a replacement or a renewal of an existing tax, and the Section of the Revised Code authorizing its submission to the electors, and requesting such certification, the County Fiscal Officer is to certify the total current tax valuation of the District and the dollar amount of revenue that would be generated by the proposed levy; Now, Therefore, Be It Resolved by the Board of Education of the Hudson City School District, County of Summit, State of Ohio, that: Section 1. This Board declares that it is necessary to renew, for five years, all of the District s 1.5-mill ad valorem property tax outside of the ten-mill limitation, for the purpose of acquiring real estate for school purposes, constructing, expanding, rehabilitating, remodeling and improving school buildings, acquiring furniture, furnishings and equipment for school purposes and landscaping and improving school sites, and that it intends to submit the question of such renewal to the electors at an election on November 6, 2012, as authorized by Section 5705.21 of the Revised Code. If approved, that renewal tax would be first levied in tax year 2012, for first collection in calendar year 2013. Section 2. This Board requests the Summit County Fiscal Officer to certify to it both (i) the total current tax valuation of the District, and (ii) the dollar amount of revenue that would be generated by the 1.5-mill renewal tax levy specified in Section 1. Section 3. The Treasurer of this Board is authorized and directed to deliver promptly to the Summit County Fiscal Officer a certified copy of this resolution. Section 4. This Board finds and determines that all formal actions of this Board and of any of its committees concerning and relating to the adoption of this resolution were taken, and that all deliberations of this Board and of any of its committees that resulted in such formal actions were held, in meetings open to the public, in compliance with the law.
