A request from the county engineer was tabled during Thursday’s meeting of the Washington County Board of Commissioners.
Roger Wright sent a letter to the board this week asking for a one-time exception for Wesley and Newport townships to receive the 1 percent permissive sales tax in one installment instead of the usual three.
“This would allow the townships to have funds available to supplement the (Ohio Emergency Management Agency/Federal Emergency Management Agency) contribution in order to pay for the slip repairs and allow the township to maintain their limited budget,” the letter states.
