HOW THE LEVY BENEFITS THE ANDERSON TOWNSHIP PARK DISTRICT
The Anderson Township Park District furnishes a product that has been a significant part of the community for 32 years. The Park District has been operating continuously on 1.9 mill, voter-approved Levies for the past 16 years. The Board of Park Commissioners is committed to providing recreational opportunities for Anderson residents, while living within its fi nancial means. This 1.9 mill Operating Levy will allow the Park District to continue to operate and maintain your parks for the next ten years.
Residents use the parks in their daily lives and consider them an important part of the quality of life in Anderson Township. Parks enhance property values and make Anderson Township a great place to live, work and play.
On November 4th, the Anderson Township Park District’s 1.9 mill Operating Levy will be on the ballot and the Anderson Township voters will determine the future of their park system. If passed, this Operating Levy will replace the existing 1.9 mill Levy that was approved by Township voters in November of 2000. Since 2000, there have been no additional voted tax revenues for the Park District.
This 1.9 mill Levy will allow the Anderson Township Park District to continue to operate and maintain the existing parks for the next ten years. Although two years remain on the existing Operating Levy, the Park District Board of Park Commissioners decided to place this Levy on the ballot now to ensure the Park District remains in business. Under Ohio law, the ballot language must state this is an additional tax even though it will actually replace the existing Levy. Only in the last year of the Levy will Ohio law allow it to be called a “replacement Levy” on the ballot. The ballot language will state in the last paragraph “If this Levy is approved the taxes from the 2000 Levy will not be collected in 2009.” Therefore, the 2000 Park Operating Levy will be rescinded.

need your help to communicate this important message to Anderson voters. |
