Bazetta Township, Cortland city and the Hubbard school district are among those seeking passage of renewal levies on Tuesday’s primary ballot.

BAZETTA

In Bazetta, voters are being asked to support a 0.6-mill, five-year renewal levy for streets, road and bridges and a 0.6-mill, five-year renewal for police and emergency medical service.

Bazetta Fiscal Officer Stacy Marling said the renewal levy for the streets, roads and bridges generates $91,000 annually and was first placed on the ballot in the 2010s and has been renewed every five years. The owner of a $100,000 home would continue to pay $13 per year for the levy, Marling said.

The renewal levy for police and emergency medical service generates $59,000 annually and is based on valuation from the 1980s when it was originally passed. She said the levy provides funds for day-to-day operations of the police department. Marling said the owner of a $100,000 home will continue to pay $7 per year.

CORTLAND

Voters in the city are being asked to support a 1.9-mill, five-year renewal for current operating expenses and various city needs for the general fund.

Fiscal Officer Patty Gibson said the levy generates $259,916 per year with the owner of a $100,000 home paying $41 per year.

She said the levy was originally passed in 2016 and then again in 2021 with this being the third time the levy has been up for renewal. Gibson said the levy is based on 2016 property valuation.

“This levy is for our general operating expenses and pays for a variety of things including a portion of our general fund. The parks, buildings and grounds, streets, lighting, sewers, utilities, council and the mayor. It is an all-purpose levy.”

HUBBARD

Voters of the Hubbard Exempted Village School District are being asked to support a 3.15-mill, five-year renewal for current expenses.

The school district includes Hubbard city and township, and parts of Coitsville in Mahoning County.

Hubbard Schools Treasurer Amber DeJulio said the current levy expires in 2026 with the final collection to be included in the 2027 property tax collections. DeJulio said the renewal levy will continue to generate the same amount since its original passage in 2017, which is $986,000 per year.

The renewal levy will begin in 2027, with collections to start in 2028 through 2032.

She said the owner of a $100,000 home would pay $110 per year, or $9.17 per month.

DeJulio said the revenue generated by this levy will continue to be used in the general operations of the district, including teaching and support staff salaries, purchased services (such as maintenance, utilities and bussing), textbooks, student programs and instructional supplies.

DeJulio said because it is a renewal, there will be no increase in property taxes. She said if the levy does not pass, the district will need to make cuts.

NILES

Voters in the city of Niles will be asked to support a 1-mill, five-year renewal levy for supporting the programs, facilities and equipment for the parks and recreation department.

Law Director Phil Zuzolo said the park levy generates $266,849 and costs the owner of a $100,000 home $35 per year. He said the levy funds cover costs for day-to-day needs of the parks and wages of the employees in parks and recreation.

He said the money is placed in the general fund for park usage and where needed for maintaining the city parks and offering recreational programs. Zuzolo said funds are used for maintaining the wellness center at Waddell Park and the many programs and services.
