Mill Creek MetroParks Board mulls levy options

CANFIELD — The Mill Creek MetroParks Board of Park Commissioners didn’t come to a decision on which levy option to put before voters in November.

Park Treasurer Kevin Smith explained four options at tonight's meeting. One of the options is the renewal of the 15-year, 1.75-mill levy that provides the bulk of the park’s funding.

Board President Lou Schiavoni said the board still has more discussions planned before coming to a decision by June.

The current levy generates about $6.5 million annually and costs the owner of a $100,000 home about $50.24 per year. That levy is based on 2001 property values and will generate funds through 2016.
