ST. CLAIRSVILLE — Belmont County Department of Job and Family Services staff visited the Belmont County Board of Commissioners Wednesday to discuss a proposed levy reduction.

The commissioners voted to approve a motion to adopt a resolution to put a replacement tax for Belmont County Children Services on the Nov. 5 ballot.

“I’ll note that the replacement of the existing 0.65 (mill) levy with a reduction of 0.20 mills to constitute 0.45 mills for the purpose of providing support of Children’s Services and the care and placement of children in Belmont County,” Commissioner Jerry Echemann said.

The motion passed unanimously.
