Section 5705.322 | Reducing taxing authority of counties in connection with developmental disabilities general fund.
In determining whether to reduce the taxing authority of a county under section 5705.32 of the Revised Code in connection with the balance of a county developmental disabilities general fund, the county budget commission shall take into consideration the five-year projection of revenues and expenditures prepared by the county board of developmental disabilities pursuant to section 5126.053 of the Revised Code.
Before making such a determination, the commission shall hold a hearing solely on the question of whether to reduce the taxing authority of the county in connection with the balance of that fund. The commission shall publish notice of the hearing in a newspaper of general circulation in the county once a week for two consecutive weeks or as provided in section 7.16 of the Revised Code. The second publication shall be not less than ten nor more than thirty days before the date of the hearing, and the notice shall include the date, time, place, and subject of the hearing, and a statement that a determination to reduce the taxing authority of the county may result in a decrease in revenue available to the county board of developmental disabilities.
Upon publishing the notice, the commission shall notify the board of county commissioners or board of developmental disabilities of the date, time, place, and subject of the hearing. Any board entitled to notice under this division may designate an officer or employee of such board to whom the commission shall deliver the notice.
The commission shall permit representatives of the county that established the fund to appear at such hearing and explain the financial needs of the county board of developmental disabilities.
