Recognizing the burden that taxes, particularly tax increases, have on property owners, the Board of Commissioners created the Human Services Levy Review Committee (HSLRC) in 1999. The main objective of the HSLRC is to evaluate levy requests before they are placed on the ballot to ensure that the agencies listed below will be able to provide crucial services to residents while managing the expectation that property taxes remain fair and reasonable for taxpayers.
The HSLRC consists of seven members who appointed by the Commissioners. The OMB Director is the only Committee member who works for Franklin County. The other six members are people who work and/or live in Franklin County and have been chosen to represent the interests of County residents.
The ADAMH Board of Franklin County leads the planning, funding, and evaluation of community-based recovery-oriented mental health and addiction prevention, treatment, and support services for residents of Franklin County.
