Issue 2: Stark County 911 Emergency Services Levy

If passed on May 7, the proposed 0.1-mill, 5-year Stark County 911 Call Center levy would generate $616,000 annually and cost homeowners $3.06 per year for every $100,000 in property valuation.

Issue 2 would cover 70 percent of the salaries and benefits for the center’s 16 call takers, a computer technician and half of the director and deputy director’s salaries.

The 911 center handles emergency calls countywide, except for calls made from home phones in Canton, according to cantonrep.com.
