Two Summit County agencies that had tax levies on the November ballot soon will be getting unexpected bills in the mail from the elections board.
The alcohol, drug addiction and mental health services board and the children services board both owe the elections board about $200,000, according to board officials.
In the past, when county agencies put issues on the ballot, the cost was passed onto individual municipalities. A recent change in state law, however, instead requires the agencies to be charged.
This means Summit County communities will be charged less than in the past by the elections board but the agencies will be paying more.
Election board members, who discussed this change at a meeting this morning, are expecting the county agencies not to be pleased about this extra expense.
