Miami Twp. and Miamisburg voters are not likely this year to see a joint levy on the ballot to fund the fire district both communities share.
Miami Valley Fire District Board of Trustee leaders say too much must be decided about a shared funding mechanism to finance services in both jurisdictions.
“We’ve got an awful lot of work to do on that,” said Miamisburg City Councilman John Stalder, president of the board overseeing the fire district, which was made permanent by the city and the township last year after five years of joint operation.
“For me, it would be moving awfully fast,” he added. “If we do a levy – especially district-wide – there’s probably going to be a lot of issues with it since both (jurisdictions) are funded two different ways.”
