Ross Health District Urges Yes Vote On Renewal Levy

Presented By Classic Brands

Ross County Health District Commissioner Garrett Guillozet appeared on a Litter Media Live Special Edition, Thursday, where he talked with interviewer Mike Smith about the health district renewal levy.

“This is a five-year, 1 mill renewal levy. This is the same levy we have had for the last 25 years”, said Guillozet. “It generates about $1.4 million that assists the health district in our operations to carry out our program and services to the community.”

The cost of the levy is about $35 per $100,000 assessed home value, which represents no change in the levy amount currently in place.

Guillozet reminded voters that none of the COVID-19 response expenses have come out of locally generated tax dollars, but instead came from the federal government. 

He added- “Because these dollars came from the federal government, we were able to continue on with our food inspections, WIC and Help Me Grow program for young children.”

Guillozet says when talking about the health district renewal levy, he often gets questions about drug overdose programs, and whether the health district is buying Narcan with local tax payer money, to which he said- “We do not do that. We use grant funding specific to the opioid response program. We have a great partnership with other entities who have worked on grants with us, (that go toward those expenses.)”
