Boardman plans 4.1 mill levy

BOARDMAN — Township officials have decided to ask voters in November to approve a 4.1-mill general operating levy.

Trustees Chairwoman Elaine Mancini said the panel reached a consensus at a retreat conducted with trustees, department heads and some union representatives this week.

The amount is expected to allow township services to continue at their current levels.

Mancini said a general operating, rather than a safety levy, was chosen in order to create stability in all township departments.

The levy, which trustees must formally approve at two regular meetings, will run for five years, generating about $4.1 million annually.
