On July 15, 2024, the Perry Township Board of Trustees announced their intention to include a police levy on the November 5, 2024, ballot for voter consideration. This police levy is for the purpose of providing and maintaining motor vehicles, communications, buildings, the payment of salaries of permanent and part-time police, communications, or administrative personnel, and the payment of other equipment and related costs.
The Board of Trustees originally placed an 8.51-mill, $2.7 million Police Levy on the March 2024 ballot. However, the Board voted to remove the levy from the March 2024 ballot in favor of revising and reducing the amount it needs to ask from voters. The levy on the ballot this November is 0.94-mills and $300,000 lower than the previously proposed levy.
