SECTION 13.07.01. LEVY FOR FIRE PROTECTION.

   The taxing authority of the Municipality may, without a vote of the people, levy taxes on the tax duplicate for the year 1961 and each year thereafter at a rate not exceeding in any one year three (3) mills for each one dollar of assessed valuation for the sole purpose of operating, equipping and housing the Municipality's own Division of Fire, which taxes shall be outside the limitations imposed by the constitution and statutes of the State of Ohio or by Section 13.07 of the Charter and shall, together with the taxes authorized by said Section 13.07, constitute the maximum amount of taxes which may be levied for all purposes of the Municipality without a vote of the people. The levy of taxes pursuant to this section shall not prejudice the right of the taxing authority to use funds from other taxes or available sources for fire protection purposes.

   This section shall take effect and be in force upon its approval by a majority of the electors of the Municipality voting thereon.

(Amended Nov. 7, 1961)
