§ 3709.29.
If the estimated amount of money necessary to meet the expenses of a general health
district program will not be forthcoming to the board of health of such district out
of the district health fund because the taxes within the ten-mill limitation will
be insufficient, the board of health shall certify the fact of such insufficiency
to the board of county commissioners of the county in which such district is located. Such board of county commissioners is hereby ordained to be a special taxing authority
for the purposes of this section only, and, notwithstanding any other law to the contrary,
the board of county commissioners of any county in which a general health district
is located is the taxing authority for such special levy outside the ten-mill limitation. The board of county commissioners shall thereupon, in the year preceding that in
which such health program will be effective, by vote of two-thirds of all the members
of that body, declare by resolution that the amount of taxes which may be raised within
the ten-mill limitation will be insufficient to provide an adequate amount for the
necessary requirements of such district within the county, and that it is necessary
to levy a tax in excess of such limitation in order to provide the board of health
with sufficient funds to carry out such health program. Such resolution shall be filed with the board of elections not later than four p.m.
of the ninetieth day before the day of election. Such resolution shall specify the amount of increase in rate which it is necessary
to levy and the number of years during which such increase shall be in effect, which
shall not be for a longer period than ten years. The resolution shall conform to section 5705.191 of the Revised Code and be certified and submitted in the manner provided in section 5705.25 of the Revised Code , provided that the proposal shall be placed on the ballot at the next primary or
general election occurring more than ninety days after the resolution is filed with
the board of elections.
