Permanent Improvement Levy Renewal A RESOLUTION PURSUANT TO SECTION 5705.21 OF THE REVISED CODE SUBMITTING TO THE ELECTORS OF THE HUDSON CITY SCHOOL DISTRICT THE QUESTION OF THE RENEWAL OF 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. Whereas, at an election held on November 6, 2012, the electors of this School District approved the renewal of a 1.5-mill 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 landscaping and improving school sites; and Whereas, the authority to levy that 1.5-mill tax expires with the levy on the 2016 tax list and duplicate for last collection in calendar year 2017, and, in order to provide for the collection of tax revenues for that purpose without interruption, this Board finds it necessary to renew the existing 1.5-mill levy for five years; and 4
Whereas, on December 12, 2016, this Board adopted a resolution pursuant to Section 5705.03(B) of the Ohio Revised Code, declaring it necessary to renew the existing 1.5-mill tax levy 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 (annually) by that renewal levy; and Whereas, the County Fiscal Officer then certified that the total tax valuation of the School District is $957,220,180 and the estimated property tax revenue that will be produced by the 1.5-mill renewal tax levy is $1,399,477 annually during the life of the levy, assuming that the tax valuation remains constant throughout the life of the levy; Now, Therefore, Be It Resolved by the Board of Education of the Hudson City School District, County of Summit, State of Ohio, two-thirds of all members of that Board elected thereto concurring, that: Section 1. This Board hereby finds, determines and declares that the amount of taxes which may be raised by the Board of Education of the Hudson City School District within the ten-mill limitation by levies on the current tax list and duplicate will be insufficient to provide an adequate amount for the necessary requirements of this School District, and that it is necessary to renew the levy of a tax in excess of that limitation at the rate of 1.5 mills 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 landscaping and improving school sites. Section 2. The question of the renewal of all of an existing 1.5-mill 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, for five years, beginning with the tax list and duplicate for the year 2017, the proceeds of which levy first would be available to the School District in the calendar year 2018, shall be submitted under the provisions of Sections 5705.21 and 5705.25 of the Revised Code to the electors of the Hudson City School District at an election to be held therein on May 2, 2017, as authorized by law.
