The Coventry Township Board of Trustees are requesting a Replacement of the Fire Department’s 5-year 6.75 Mill Levy ISSUE 2.  This Levy provides the Fire Department with funding necessary for all day-to-day operations.  ISSUE 2 pays for employee wages, workers’ compensation, equipment, gasoline, EMS supplies, training, radios, phones, dispatch services along with building maintenance and utilities.

Without passage of ISSUE 2 significant reductions will occur—this Replacement Levy will allow us to maintain our current services.  ISSUE 2 will cost the owner of a $100,000 home $118.13 a half, or $19.69 a month. (Current costs are $107.97 a half, or $9.00 a month)
