CLERMONT COUNTY, OHIO - The Board of Clermont County Commissioners (BCC) today approved resolutions enabling Children’s Protective Services (CPS) and the Mental Health and Recovery Board (MHRB) to put five-year renewal levies on the November ballot. On Tuesday, November 2, 2010, Clermont County voters will decide whether to renew the .8 mil levy for CPS and the .5 mil levy for MHRB.
“The CPS levy will not raise taxes,” said Clermont Department of Job and Family Services Director Mike Pride. “Every penny of the money raised through this levy will help those who cannot help themselves. Over 300 children are currently in CPS custody and receiving care; many have been abused and neglected. Sadly, each year the demand for assistance grows.” More information on the CPS levy renewal is available on the Web site.
“We are also asking for a levy renewal,” said MHRB Executive Director Karen Scherra. “The levy is an important part of our funding; passage assures that children, families and adults in Clermont County have access to needed services, so they can be healthy and productive members of this community. The levy funds are essential to our system in order to supplement the funds we receive from the state and federal government, which have decreased significantly in recent years.”
