“This funding allows us to provide a fuller arc of service to the children and families in Clark County,” Martycz said. “It’s critical to our services that we provide to the children and families of Clark County.”
Some of the services the levy helps to fund are the child advocacy center, foster care training for prosecutive parents, adoption support and at-risk youth programs like Project Jericho, Martycz said.
“But those are some of the bigger things. Some of the smaller things, in terms of things that help families return to normalcy, that funding goes to small things like helping to get birth certificates for foster children,” Martycz said.
The levy would replace the 3-mill levy that expires at the end of this year. The levy amounts to thirty cents for each $100 of tax valuation for a period of 10 years.
“We appreciate the support that we have had in the past and we look forward to providing the highest level of service possible,” Martycz said.
The Board of Clark County Commissioners approved the placement of the levy on November’s ballot at their July 22 meeting
