RESOLUTION NO. 2005-23 INTRODUCED BY: Mayor Rinker and Council as a Whole AN EMERGENCY RESOLUTION IN SUPPORT OF ISSUE 6 PROPOSING A 1.2 MIL REPLACEMENT LEVY FOR TRI-C WHEREAS, the voters of Cuyahoga County in 1996 approved a 1.2 mil levy to fund services and programs provided by Tri-C; and WHEREAS, the tax levy is set to expire in 2006; and WHEREAS, the citizens for Cuyahoga Community College have submitted for the November 8, 2005 ballot, a 1.2 mil replacement levy for a nine (9) year period of time in order to continue funding of the services and programs provided by Tri-C; and WHEREAS, this replacement levy will cost an additional $0.78 cents a month for each $100,000 in home valuation. This increase will allow Tri-C to keep the region's workforce up-to-date with quality training, provide specialized training for local business, industry and safety forces, and keep tuition affordable for the majority of County residents; and WHEREAS, since enrollment at Tri-C has grown 25% in the past few years, from a little over 20,000 in the year 2000 to a little over 25,000 this year, Issue 6 will allow the college to serve increasing numbers of students and continue to offer the quality education which has enabled Tri-C to become known as the place where futures begin and residents can greatly improve their personal and professional lives. NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE COUNCIL OF MAYFIELD VILLAGE, OHIO THAT: SECTION 1. The Mayor and Council hereby and herein endorse the proposed 1.2 mil replacement levy for Tri-C which will appear as Issue 6 on the November 8, 2005 ballot.
