Liberty Township trustees held a special meeting on January 27, 2025 with guest Mike Bacon, Hardin County Auditor, to pass two resolutions required for a levy renewal. (Minutes are attached below for three January 2025 board meetings.)

The trustees passed a resolution requesting a current tax valuation from the County Auditor for a 1 mil replacement levy for five years for Liberty Township current expenses. Also passed was a resolution to proceed with putting the replacement levy on the May 6, 2025 primary election ballot.

At this time, the levy is one of seven Questions and Issues listed by the Hardin County Board of Elections at https://lookup.boe.ohio.gov/vtrapp/hardin/webqis/default.aspx 

In the November 2025 General Election, renewal of the Liberty Township levy for current expenses failed by the narrow margin of 20 votes, 1194 to 1174.

Liberty Township is served by a three-member board of trustees, currently made up of Jeffrey Acheson (through December 2027), Gary Hall (through December 2025) and Bradley Hays (through December 2025).  and an elected township fiscal officer, Patty Griffin (through March 2028).

The next meeting of the Trustees is Monday, March 3. The trustees meet on the first and third Monday of each month at 7:00 p.m. at 110 E Buckeye Ave, Ada.
