Commencing in calendar year 2019, and pursuant to Title 57 of the Ohio Revised Code, the County Fiscal Officer will begin levying ad valorem real property taxes on the Nexus Pipeline, a public utility pipeline used for the transportation of natural gas, which is now operating in the City of Green and City of New Franklin, and which began operating during calendar year 2018. Said ad valorem real property taxes will then be collected by the County Fiscal Officer initially in calendar year 2020. Following collection, a portion of the ad valorem real property tax levied against the Nexus Pipeline will be paid by the County Fiscal Officer to the County's General Fund, as determined by appropriate millage rates and applicable Ohio law. It is the desire of the Council of the County of Summit to utilize the portion of the ad valorem real property tax levied and collected against the Nexus Pipeline to support the planning, training and equipment needs of the Summit County Special Operations Response Teams, created pursuant to Chapter 163 of these Codified Ordinances, and local first responders that would respond to a natural gas pipeline-related emergency, or similar emergency, in Summit County.
