On Tuesday, May 6, Ada school district voters will cast ballots on the renewal of a permanent improvement levy. The levy was oroginally approved in January 1990.

According to Ohio law, permanent improvement monies are placed in a separate fund from the general fund and may only be used for items that are more “permanent” — lasting five years or more.

Because the levy is a renewal it is not a new tax or a tax increase. The 2.90 mills are included in property taxes, according to Connie Fleming, chair of Advancing Ada Schools levy committee.

Did you receive a drainage survey in the mail from The Ohio State University? If so, have you had a chance to fill it out and send it in?

Randomly selected landowners in Hardin, Van Wert, and Williams Counties were sent a copy of the survey in March. Their names and addresses were taken from county public records. The purpose of the survey is to inform landowners about conservation practices and drainage management policies in order to help them make land management decisions.

The Ada Senior Citizens will meet at 12:30 p.m. on Wednesday, April 9 at The Artist Boutique on Main and gather after the meeting at McDonalds.

Deb Curlis will be our hostess showing the wares and perhaps giving a brief demonstration.
