RESOLUTION #05 –2003
Ms Gilmore moved the adoption of the following resolution:
BE IT RESOLVED by the Board of Trustees of Richfield Township that:
SECTION 1: This Board ratifies and confirms the creation of the Richfield
Township Police District, consisting of the entire unincorporated territory of
Richfield Township.
SECTION 2: This Board finds and determines that:
(a) The amount of taxes that may be raised within the ten-mill limitation will
be insufficient to provide an adequate amount for the necessary requirements of
the Richfield Township Police District.
(b) It is necessary to levy a tax in excess of the ten-mill limitation for the
purpose of providing and maintaining motor vehicles, communications, and other
equipment used directly in the operation of a police district and the payment of
salaries of police personnel or for the payment of costs incurred as a result of
contracts made with other political subdivisions in order to obtain police
protection.
(c) The existing 3.6 mill levy for that purpose is in effect for a continuing
period of time.
(d) This Board proposes to replace that levy in its entirety at the rate at
which it is authorized to be levied.
SECTION 3: The question of the replacement of the necessary levy for the purpose
of providing funds for police protection will be submitted to the electors of
the Richfield Township Police District at the election to be held on May 6,
2003.
SECTION 4: The ballot form for such election must be as follows:
