Hood River County Commissioners approved preparing documents to place renewal of the five-year public safety levy before voters in November.  The action doesn’t fully commit the Commission to putting the levy on the general election ballot.  Commissioner Arthur Babitz says discussions during the upcoming budget process will help inform that decision.  Commissioner Leti Moretti noted the November date would allow the County a second chance in the May 2025 election before the budget impacts of the loss of the levy would be felt.
