Voters Eye 169 Levy With 1985 Ballot Debate
Lorain County Board of Mental Retardation and Developmental Disabilities weighs a new 1.5 mill levy for 1985 amid questions if current funds plus a possible 1.3 million carryover will cover operations through 1985. State and federal aid projections, inflation, and expanding adult programs could necessitate additional millage after 1985. The board also approves a 1983 budget of 4.9 million expenses with a 515,600 surplus and ends respite care unless the levy passes.

Real estate tax delinquencies rise in Lorain County
Lorain County real estate tax delinquencies are up 20 percent this year while Cuyahoga County sees a 26 percent rise in payments. Lorain Treasurer Dan Talarek reports $1.3 million collected in delinquent taxes for the first half of 1981, bringing total real estate taxes collected to $33.1 million. The office notes that uncollected taxes prior to Jan 1, 1981 are delinquent and that collection procedures have not intensified. An increasing number of homeowners seek tax reductions, rising fivefold from 52 to 263, with 73 percent residential property owners, including developers and financial institutions with unsold homes. Deputy County Auditor Calmin Novak cites more developers unable to pay delinquencies, with partial payments by some previously current taxpayers. Strongsville contributes about 600 delinquent properties, listing entities such as New Concord Homes, Four Seasons Builders, Sunrise Development, North East Land Co., Robert Avery Co., Hunting Valley Builders, and Newbury Group.
