Administration
Funding
The Township, through its General Fund, pays for expenses with funds from several sources, including a 2.03 mill continuing levy (inside millage), charges for services, host agreement fees, miscellaneous fines, investment interest, and intergovernmental receipts. The prime source of Township General Fund revenues is intergovernmental revenues from the Joint Economic Development District (JEDD) that the Township shares with the Village of Reminderville.

Township Budget
The Township operates on a fiscal year that coincides with the calendar year. The Township budget preparation process begins six months before the fiscal year begins, when succeeding year resources (fund balances plus revenues) and expenditures (capital, operating, contingency, and reserve) are first estimated.
The Township Manager works with the Fiscal Officer in July each year to prepare and submit the Township’s alternative tax budget information, which leads to issuance by the Summit County Budget Commission in November of the Township’s Official Certificate of Estimated Resources. The Township Manager works with the Fiscal Officer and the Budget Commission to amend the Official Certificate of Estimated Resources throughout the fiscal year as needed.

The Township Manager works with the Board of Trustees each year to prepare the Township’s appropriations resolutions, by which the Board allocates Township funds for expenditure purposes. The Board of Trustees adopts a temporary appropriations resolution by December 31 for the succeeding fiscal year, adopts a permanent appropriations resolution by March 31 for the current fiscal year, and supplements appropriations throughout the fiscal year as needed.
