Hood River County Commissioners are expected to formally approve the ballot title and explanatory statement for renewal of the County’s public safety levy that will go before voters in November at a special meeting on Thursday.  Commissioners spent nearly an hour of their regular Monday meeting parsing the language for those documents, looking to emphasize what they are seeking is the continuation of the five-year levy of 78 cents per thousand dollars of assessed property value with no increase from what was originally approved in 2020.  Commissioner Arthur Babitz said the goal is to be transparent and be clear that they are not seeking a tax increase.  Commissioners wanted to review changes they made to the documents before approving them to be sent to the County Clerk’s office.  They will hold a special online meeting Thursday afternoon at 4 p.m. to do that.
