School district and library levies will be on the March 2016 election ballot

One election is just now over. Bluffton school board, meeting on Monday, will act on resolutions to place a three-year income tax renewal levy on the March 2016 ballot.

The current levy expires on Dec. 31, 2016. According to information from the school, the levy generates approximately $700,000 for the school district year year. The levy's purpose is for permanent improvements.

The boad will also act on another levy on the March 2016 ballot. It is a 1.0 mill tax levy for the Bluffton Public Library. The school district is the taxing authority for the library. 

According to the Allen County auditor, that levy generates $119,970 during the first year of its collection, based on the current valuation of the school district at $134,529,590.

Those levies and additional board action are in the board agenda, which is an attachment at the bottom of this story.
