Brunswick Hills weighs police levy renewal on May ballot
Brunswick Hills trustees hear Police Chief Tim Sopkovich outline a five year 2.5 mill police levy expiring this year and consider renewal or replacement on the May ballot. The levy funds about 686000 annually, with renewal likely boosting to just over 800000 amid rising costs. The meeting also eyed a possible combined public safety levy to include fire and services, but trustees favor first moving the police levy and then decide on broader measures.
