Mill Creek Park commissioners still mulling possible levy

YOUNGSTOWN — The Mill Creek MetroParks Board of Park Commissioners continue to weigh several options for the levy it plans to put on the November ballot.

For several months, the board has been discussing options to replace the 15-year, 1.75-mill operating levy that generates about $6.5 million annually for the park system and which is based on 2001 property values.

Park Treasurer Kevin Smith again outlined the board’s options at a meeting Monday night.

They are a renewal; a 1.75-mill replacement; a 1.75-mill renewal with .25-mill additional; and a 2.0-mill replacement with additional.
