EATON — On Monday, Feb. 1, Preble County Commissioners met with PC Public Health Commissioner Erik Balster and PC Auditor Lavon Wright to discuss the placement of a public health levy on the May election ballot.
According to Wright, Balster had emailed stating the health department would need $600,000 to have a “sustainable” budget.
“I want to again express my gratitude again to you for listening to our rationale, and our organizational process, and really what we are excited to do — and some of the challenges we’ve had in doing those things,” Balster added during the meeting.
