Oberlin Council Debates Levies For City Transition
Oberlin officials discussed placing two levies on the November ballot as the village moves toward city status. A one and a half mill operating levy would fund police and fire needs plus city seals and health services after the 30 day proclamation period. A separate 16 mill levy would finance garbage disposal, with costs partly offset by potential Oberlin College contributions.
