TweetBoard to vote on November ballot issue
Northwestern board members will decide Thursday, July 16, how to proceed with a proposed tax issue on the November ballot.
The board will vote on a series of resolutions at Thursday’s meeting to put a combined bond issue and income tax levy on the ballot.
If approved by voters, the bond issue would pay for the local portion of a new facility; the state’s Ohio Schools Facilities Commission would chip in 45 percent, or $23 million.
The income tax — which will likely be either 1 percent or 1.25 percent tax, according to Orr — would pay for operating costs.
The district plans to combine the issues into one vote to ensure adequate operating funds for any new facilities, according to Orr. The board approved earlier this year a facilities plan that included one campus with one building for pre-kindergarten through 6th grade and a second for 7th through 12th grade.
Board members will approve two versions of each resolution for the proposed bond issue as they wait to hear if a provision to extend the maximum borrowing period for school district debt — a change the board campaigned for by asking residents to send letters of support to local elected officials — was included in the recently-approved state budget, said Treasurer Dave Bollheimer.
“If it has been approved, it’s a matter of if it’s effective (for the November ballot),” he said.
The provision would allow districts to borrow money for 37 years instead of the current 28, said Bollheimer.
“We’re estimating probably about a mill difference” to the annual cost to property owners, he said. A mill is abut $30 for the owner of a $100,000 home.
The board will also vote on a resolution to request approval to borrow beyond the maximum debt allowed under the Ohio Revised Code to include an auditorium in the project. OSFC funds do not cover auditoriums so local taxpayers have to agree to pay the whole of that cost, an estimated $2.2 million in Northwestern, according to the agenda for tomorrow’s meeting.
After board members approve the resolutions Thursday, it will be sent to the county auditor who will determine the millage for the issue, or the annual cost to local property owners. The board will then approve a second resolution to place the issue on the ballot.
Under OSFC regulations, the district has four chances — November 2009 and February, May and August 2010 — to secure voter approval for the local portion of the building project. After that, the district would still be eligible for OSFC funds, but possibly at a lower percentage of the total cost.
The board meets at 6 p.m. in the auditorium at Northwestern High School.
