October 30, 1989 House Bill 230 - 118th General Assembly (A) Upon the affirmative vote of at least a majority of the qualified electors within the territorial boundaries of the regional transit authority voting on the question at an election held for the purpose of authorizing it, the regional transit authority may levy upon the property within its territorial boundaries a tax, for all purposes other than bond debt charges, not in excess of five mills annually on the total value of all property as listed and assessed for taxation for any period not exceeding ten years. Such election shall be called, held, canvassed, and certified in the same manner as is provided for elections held pursuant to section 5705.191 of the Revised Code. On approval of such a levy, notes may be issued in anticipation of the collection of the proceeds thereof, in the amount and manner and at the times as are provided in section 5705.193 of the Revised Code. The regional transit authority may borrow money in anticipation of the collection of current revenues as provided in section 133.10 of the Revised Code. (B) Whenever the question of a tax upon property as provided in division (A) of this section has been rejected at an election, the regional transit authority may thereafter submit the question at a subsequent election to the qualified electors of the largest municipal corporation located within the territorial boundaries of the regional transit authority, and to the qualified electors of any other municipal corporation or township located within such boundaries, when its legislative authority or board of trustees has adopted a resolution requesting to be included in such election and has filed a copy thereof with the secretary-treasurer of the regional transit authority not later than ninety days prior to the date of the election. Upon the affirmative vote of a majority of the qualified electors of the largest municipal corporation voting on the question, the regional transit authority may levy a tax as provided in division (A) of this section upon all property within the municipal corporation, and upon all property within any other municipal corporation or township included in the election when a majority of the qualified electors of such municipal corporation or township have authorized the tax. Whenever a tax upon property has been authorized pursuant to this division, the legislative authority of any municipal corporation, or the board of trustees of any township, that is not subject to the tax, but is included within the territorial boundaries of the regional transit authority, may adopt a resolution requesting the regional transit authority to hold an election submitting the question of levying the tax to the electors of such municipal corporation or township. Any election held pursuant to this division shall be called, held, canvassed, and certified in the same manner as provided for elections held pursuant to division (A) of this section, and any tax authorized by an election held under this division shall grant the same authority and be subject to the same requirements with respect to the issuance of notes and the borrowing of money as provided in division (A) of this section. (C) Any tax authorized by an election held under this section shall be levied annually as provided in section 5705.34 of the Revised Code during the period authorized, and shall be for the purpose of providing funds necessary for the regional transit authority budget, except that any tax authorized under division (B) of this section shall be used for such purpose only in those municipal corporations or townships which have authorized the tax. The collection of such tax levy shall conform in all matters to the provisions of the Revised Code governing the collection of taxes and assessments levied by taxing districts, and the same provisions concerning the nonpayment of taxes shall apply to taxes levied pursuant to this section.

(2) "Human resources" means any and all functions relating to human resource management, including civil service, employee benefits administration, collective bargaining, labor relations, risk management, workers' compensation, unemployment compensation, and any human resource management function required by state or federal law, but "human resources" does not authorize a board of county commissioners to adopt a resolution establishing a centralized human resource service that requires any county office to conform to any classification and compensation plan, position descriptions, or organizational structure; to determine the rate of compensation of any employee appointed by the appointing authority of a county office or the salary ranges for positions of a county office within the aggregate limits set in the appropriation resolution of the board of county commissioners; to determine the number of or the terms of employment of any employee appointed by the appointing authority of a county office within the aggregate limits set in the board's appropriation resolution; or to exercise powers relating to the hiring, qualifications, evaluation, suspension, demotion, disciplinary action, layoff, furloughing, establishment of a modified work-week schedule, or the termination of any employee appointed by the appointing authority of any county office.

The written notice shall include a statement that provides the rationale and the estimated savings anticipated for centralizing a service or services. In addition, the board may request any other county office to serve as the agent and responsible party for administering a centralized service or services. That county office may enter into an agreement with the board of county commissioners to administer the centralized service or services under such terms and conditions as are included in the agreement, but nothing in this section authorizes the board of county commissioners to require a county office to serve as the agent and responsible party for administering a centralized service or services at the board's request. A resolution establishing a centralized service or services shall specify all of the following: (1) The name of the county office that will be the agent and responsible party for administering a centralized service or services, and if the agent and responsible party is not the board of county commissioners, the designation of the county office that has entered into an agreement under division (B) of this section with the board to be the agent and responsible party; (2) Which county offices are required to use the centralized services; (3) If not all of the centralized services, which centralized service each county office must use; (4) A list of rates and charges the county office shall pay for the centralized services; (5) The date upon which each county office specified in the resolution shall begin using the centralized services.

Status: in_force

January 1, 2026 House Bill 96 - 136th General Assembly Any county, or any two or more counties, municipal corporations, or townships, or any combination of these, may create a regional transit authority by the adoption of a resolution or ordinance by the board of county commissioners of each county, the legislative authority of each municipal corporation, and the board of township trustees of each township which is to create or to join in the creation of the regional transit authority. The resolution or ordinance shall state: (A) The necessity for the creation of a regional transit authority; (B) The counties, municipal corporations, or townships which are to create or to join in the creation of the regional transit authority; (C) The official name by which the regional transit authority shall be known; (D) The place in which the principal office of the regional transit authority will be located or the manner in which it may be selected; (E) The number, term, and compensation, or method for establishing compensation, of the members of the board of trustees of the regional transit authority. Compensation shall not exceed fifty dollars for each board and committee meeting attended by a member, except that if compensation is provided annually it shall not exceed six thousand dollars for the president of the board or four thousand eight hundred dollars for each other board member. (F) The manner in which vacancies on the board of trustees of the regional transit authority shall be filled; (G) The manner and to what extent the expenses of the regional transit authority shall be apportioned among the counties, municipal corporations, and townships creating it; (H) The purposes, including the kinds of transit facilities, for which the regional transit authority is organized. The regional transit authority provided for in the resolution or ordinance shall be deemed to be created upon the adoption of the resolution or ordinance by the board of county commissioners of each county, the legislative authority of each municipal corporation, and the board of township trustees of each township enumerated in the resolution or ordinance. The resolution or ordinance creating a regional transit authority may be amended to include additional counties, municipal corporations, or townships or for any other purpose, by the adoption of the amendment by the board of county commissioners of each county, the legislative authority of each municipal corporation, and the board of township trustees of each township which has created or joined or proposes to join the regional transit authority. After each county, municipal corporation, and township which has created or joined or proposes to join the regional transit authority has adopted its resolution or ordinance approving inclusion of additional counties, municipal corporations, or townships in the regional transit authority, a copy of each resolution or ordinance shall be filed with the clerk of the board of the county commissioners of each county, the clerk of the legislative authority of each municipal corporation, and the fiscal officer of the board of trustees of each township proposed to be included in the regional transit authority. The inclusion is effective when all such filing has been completed, unless the regional transit authority to which territory is to be added has authority to levy an ad valorem tax on property, or a sales tax, within its territorial boundaries, in which event the inclusion shall become effective on the sixtieth day after the last such filing is accomplished, unless, prior to the expiration of the sixty-day period, qualified electors residing in the area proposed to be added to the regional transit authority, equal in number to at least ten per cent of the qualified electors from the area who voted for governor at the last gubernatorial election, file a petition of referendum against the inclusion. Any petition of referendum filed under this section shall be filed at the office of the secretary of the board of trustees of the regional transit authority. The person presenting the petition shall be given a receipt containing on it the time of the day, the date, and the purpose of the petition. The secretary of the board of trustees of the regional transit authority shall cause the appropriate board or boards of elections to check the sufficiency of signatures on any petition of referendum filed under this section and, if found to be sufficient, shall present the petition to the board of trustees at a meeting of said board which occurs not later than thirty days following the filing of said petition. Upon presentation to the board of trustees of a petition of referendum against the proposed inclusion, the board of trustees shall promptly certify the proposal to the board or boards of elections for the purpose of having the proposal placed on the ballot at the next general or primary election which occurs not less than ninety days after the date of the meeting of said board, or at a special election, the date of which shall be specified in the certification, which date shall be not less than ninety days after the date of such meeting of the board. Signatures on a petition of referendum may be withdrawn up to and including the meeting of the board of trustees certifying the proposal to the appropriate board or boards of elections. If territory of more than one county, municipal corporation, or township is to be added to the regional transit authority, the electors of the territories of the counties, municipal corporations, or townships which are to be added shall vote as a district, and the majority affirmative vote shall be determined by the vote cast in the district as a whole. If the proposal would extend the levy of an existing property tax to the territory to be added to the regional transit authority, the board of trustees of the regional transit authority and the county auditor shall proceed in the same manner as required for a tax levy under section 5705.03 of the Revised Code, except that the levy's annual collections shall be estimated assuming that the additional territory has been added to the regional transit authority. Upon certification of a proposal to the appropriate board or boards of elections pursuant to this section, the board or boards of election shall make the necessary arrangements for the submission of the question to the electors of the territory to be added to the regional transit authority qualified to vote on the question, and the election shall be held, canvassed, and certified in the manner provided for the submission of tax levies under section 5705.191 of the Revised Code, except that the question appearing on the ballot shall read: "Shall the territory within the _________________________ (Name or names of political subdivisions to be joined) be added to __________________________________ (Name) regional transit authority?" and shall a(n) __________ (here insert type of tax or taxes) at a rate not to exceed _____ (here insert maximum tax rate or rates) be levied for all transit purposes?" If the tax is a tax on property, the ballot shall express the levy's estimated annual collections, and the rate shall be expressed numerically in mills for each one dollar of taxable value and the effective rate shall be expressed numerically in dollars for each one hundred thousand dollars of the county auditor's market value. If the question is approved by at least a majority of the electors voting on the question, the joinder is immediately effective, and the regional transit authority may extend the levy of the tax against all the taxable property within the territory which has been added. If the question is approved at a general election or at a special election occurring prior to the general election but after the fifteenth day of July, the regional transit authority may amend its budget and resolution adopted pursuant to section 5705.34 of the Revised Code, and the levy shall be placed on the current tax list and duplicate and collected as other taxes are collected from all taxable property within the territorial boundaries of the regional transit authority, including the territory within each political subdivision added as a result of the election. The territorial boundaries of a regional transit authority shall be coextensive with the territorial boundaries of the counties, municipal corporations, and townships included within the regional transit authority, provided that the same area may be included in more than one regional transit authority so long as the regional transit authorities are not organized for purposes as provided for in the resolutions or ordinances creating the same, and any amendments to them, relating to the same kinds of transit facilities; and provided further, that if a regional transit authority includes only a portion of an entire county, a regional transit authority for the same purposes may be created in the remaining portion of the same county by resolution of the board of county commissioners acting alone or in conjunction with municipal corporations and townships as provided in this section. No regional transit authority shall be organized after January 1, 1975, to include any area already included in a regional transit authority, except that any regional transit authority organized after June 29, 1974, and having territorial boundaries entirely within a single county shall, upon adoption by the board of county commissioners of the county of a resolution creating a regional transit authority including within its territorial jurisdiction the existing regional transit authority and for purposes including the purposes for which the existing regional transit authority was created, be dissolved and its territory included in such new regional transit authority. Any resolution creating such a new regional transit authority shall make adequate provision for satisfaction of the obligations of the dissolved regional transit authority. As used in this section, "the county auditor's market value" and "effective rate" have the same meanings as in section 5705.01 of the Revised Code. Last updated October 6, 2025 at 8:30 AM

If any such parcel of abandoned land identified under this section is offered for sale pursuant to section 323.73 of the Revised Code, but is not sold for want of a minimum bid, the electing subdivision or a county land reutilization corporation that identified that parcel of abandoned land shall be deemed to have appeared at the sale and submitted the winning bid at the auction, and the parcel of abandoned land shall be sold to the electing subdivision or corporation for no consideration other than the costs prescribed in section 323.75 of the Revised Code or those costs to which the electing subdivision or corporation and the county treasurer mutually agree.

Status: in_force

April 6, 2017 House Bill 463 - 131st General Assembly (A) If land held by tenants in common is sold upon proceedings in partition, or taken by the election of any of the parties to such proceedings, or real estate is sold by administrators, executors, guardians, or trustees, the court shall order that the taxes, penalties, and assessments then due and payable, and interest on those taxes, penalties, and assessments, that are or will be a lien on such land or real estate as of the date of the sale or election, be discharged out of the proceeds of such sale or election, but only to the extent of those proceeds. For purposes of determining such amount, the county treasurer may estimate the amount of taxes, assessments, interest, and penalties that will be payable as of the date of the sale or election. If the county treasurer's estimate exceeds the amount of taxes, assessments, interest, and penalties actually payable as of that date, the plaintiff in the action resulting in a sale or election, may request that the county treasurer refund that excess to holders of the next lien interests according to the confirmation of sale or election or, if all liens are satisfied, that the treasurer remit that excess to the court for distribution. If the amount of taxes, assessments, interest, and penalties actually payable at the time of the sale or election exceeds the county treasurer's estimate, or the proceeds are insufficient to satisfy that estimate, the officer who conducted the sale shall certify the amount of the excess to the treasurer, who shall enter that amount on the real and public utility property tax duplicate opposite the property; the amount of the excess shall be payable at the next succeeding date prescribed for payment of taxes in section 323.12 of the Revised Code. If the plaintiff in an action that results in a sale or election in accordance with this division is the land's or real estate's purchaser or electing party, the court shall not order a deduction for the taxes, assessments, interest, and penalties, the lien for which attaches before the date of sale or election but that are not yet determined, assessed, and levied from the proceeds of the sale or election, unless such deduction is approved by that purchaser or electing party. The officer who conducted the sale shall certify that such amount was not paid from the proceeds to the county treasurer, who shall enter that amount on the real and public utility property tax duplicate opposite the property; this amount shall be payable at the next succeeding date prescribed for payment of taxes in section 323.12 of the Revised Code. Taxes, assessments, interest, and penalties that are not paid on the date of that sale or election, including any amount that becomes due and payable after the date of the sale or election or that remains unpaid because proceeds of a sale or election are insufficient to pay those amounts, continue to be a lien on the property as provided under section 323.11 of the Revised Code. (B)(1) Except as provided in division (B) (2) or (3) of this section, if real estate is sold at judicial sale, the court shall order that the total of the following amounts shall be discharged out of the proceeds of the sale but only to the extent of such proceeds: (a) Taxes, assessments, interest, and penalties, the lien for which attaches before the date of sale but that are not yet determined, assessed, and levied for the year that includes the date of sale, apportioned pro rata to the part of that year that precedes the date of sale; (b) All other taxes, assessments, penalties, and interest the lien for which attached for a prior tax year but that have not been paid on or before the date of sale. (2) The county treasurer may estimate the amount in division (B)(1)(a) of this section before the confirmation of sale or an amended entry confirming the sale is filed. If the county treasurer's estimate exceeds the amount in division (B) (1)(a) of this section, the judgment creditor may request that the county treasurer refund that excess to holders of the next lien interests according to the confirmation of sale or, if all liens are satisfied, that the treasurer remit that excess to the court for distribution.

However, the board may require as a condition of the approval of a conditional zoning certificate for such an activity compliance with any general standards contained in the zoning resolution that apply to all conditional uses that are provided for in the zoning resolution and, except as provided in division (C) of this section, may require any specified measure, including, but not limited to, one or more of the following: (1) Inspections of nearby structures and water wells to determine structural integrity and water levels; (2) Compliance with applicable federal, state, and local laws and regulations; (3) Identification of specific roads in accordance with division (B) of this section to be used as the primary means of ingress to and egress from the proposed activity; (4) Compliance with reasonable noise abatement measures; (5) Compliance with reasonable dust abatement measures; (6) Establishment of setbacks, berms, and buffers for the proposed activity; (7) Establishment of a complaint procedure; (8) Any other measure reasonably related to public health and safety.

At the meeting, the applicant shall explain the proposed location of the activity or expansion of an existing activity, the anticipated amount of aggregate material to be shipped by truck from the activity, and the anticipated primary market areas for the finished aggregate products leaving the activity. Not later than thirty days after the meeting with the applicant, the county engineer shall submit a written recommendation of specific roads to be used as the primary means of ingress to and egress from the proposed activity to the board of county commissioners. In making the recommendation, the county engineer shall consider all of the following: (a) The ability of each road to handle the anticipated recurring loads resulting from trucks entering and leaving the proposed activity; (b) The present condition of each road; (c) The amount of residential development that exists along each road; (d) The most direct route from the proposed activity to a state highway unless another route is more capable of accommodating the anticipated recurring loads and will result in fewer conflicts with existing residential development. (2) At the next regularly scheduled meeting of the board of county commissioners after receipt of a written recommendation under division (B)(1) of this section, the board shall adopt the recommendation or adopt the recommendation with modifications. If the board adopts the recommendation with modifications, the board shall base the modifications only on the criteria established in divisions (B)(1)(a) to (d) of this section.

If the board of county commissioners receives a timely written notice of appeal, the board shall conduct an appeal hearing concerning its decision not later than fourteen days after receipt of the notice. If the board of county commissioners receives more than one timely written notice of appeal, the board may conduct one appeal hearing concerning all of the notices of appeal. For purposes of an appeal hearing that is held under this division, the applicant or a board of township trustees that submitted written notice of appeal may present testimony for the board of county commissioners to consider concerning its decision under division (B)(2) of this section. At the hearing, the applicant or the board of township trustees may be represented by an attorney. A witness at the hearing shall testify under oath or affirmation, which any member of the board of county commissioners may administer. A witness at the hearing shall be subject to cross-examination. Not later than fourteen days after the hearing, the board of county commissioners shall affirm its decision under division (B)(2) of this section or, based on the testimony at the hearing, modify its decision. The board shall send written notice of its decision to the applicant, any board of township trustees that submitted written notice of appeal, and the county board of zoning appeals. A decision of a board of county commissioners under this division is final unless vacated or modified upon judicial review.

(C) When granting a conditional zoning certificate, a county board of zoning appeals shall not require the identification of specific roads, as otherwise authorized in division (A)(3) of this section, and the identification of specific roads in accordance with division (B) of this section shall not apply, for any of the following: (1) The transfer of unfinished aggregate material between facilities that are under the control of the same owner or operator; (2) The loading or unloading of finished aggregate product within a ten-mile radius of a surface mining operation; (3) The expansion of an existing surface mining operation when the specific road that is used as the primary means of ingress to and egress from the operation will be the same road that is used for that purpose after the expansion of the facility. (D) The identification of specific roads in accordance with division (B) of this section to be used as the primary means of ingress to and egress from a proposed activity becomes effective only upon the granting of a conditional zoning certificate. (E) As used in this section, "surface mining operation" has the same meaning as in section 1514.01 of the Revised Code.

The action shall proceed de novo as in the trial of a civil action. The court is not restricted to the evidence that was presented to the auditor of state and the attorney general before the action was filed. The action is governed by the Rules of Civil Procedure. (b) If the court finds by clear and convincing evidence that the county treasurer purposely, knowingly, or recklessly failed to perform a fiscal duty expressly imposed by law with respect to the fiscal duties of the office of county treasurer or purposely, knowingly, or recklessly committed any act expressly prohibited by law with respect to the fiscal duties of that office, the court shall issue an order removing the county treasurer from office and any order necessary for the preservation or restitution of public funds. (2) Except as otherwise provided in this division, an action for removal from office under this section is stayed during the pendency of any criminal action concerning a violation of an existing or former municipal ordinance or law of this or any other state or the United States that is substantially equivalent to any criminal violation in Title XXIX of the Revised Code related to conduct in office, if the person charged in the criminal action committed the violation while serving as a county treasurer and the conduct constituting the violation was related to the duties of the office of county treasurer or to the person's actions as the county treasurer. The stay may be lifted upon motion of the prosecuting attorney in the related criminal action. (3) Prior to or at the hearing, upon a showing of good cause, the court may issue an order restraining the county treasurer from entering the county treasurer's office and from conducting the affairs of the office pending the hearing on the complaint. If such an order is issued, the court may continue the order until the conclusion of the hearing and any appeals under this section.

(E) For the purposes of this section: (1) A person acts purposely when it is the person's specific intention to cause a certain result, or, when the gist of the offense is a prohibition against conduct of a certain nature, regardless of what the person intends to accomplish thereby, it is the person's specific intention to engage in conduct of that nature. (2) A person acts knowingly, regardless of the person's purpose, when the person is aware that the person's conduct will probably cause a certain result or will probably be of a certain nature. A person has knowledge of circumstances when the person is aware that such circumstances probably exist.

(b) The money becomes lawfully applicable to the purposes of the fiscal year in which the request is made upon the adoption of the resolution making the request if that resolution specifies the board's intent to use the money for the purposes of the fiscal year in which the request is made. (B) The auditor, in making the advance payment, shall draw separate warrants for the payments for that part of the funds allocated to the general fund of the subdivision and the part allocated to service the debt charges of the subdivision. That part of the advance payment allocated to the servicing of debt charges shall be payable to the officer, board of trustees, or commission of the subdivision charged with the payment and retirement of the bonds and notes of such subdivision, and shall be used for no other purpose. Any officer, board, or commission receiving the advance payment shall return a certificate, in the form prescribed by the tax commissioner, to the auditor that the funds so advanced and received have been paid into the bond retirement fund. (C) Upon the request, in like form, of any board of public library trustees or board of township park commissioners for which a share of the undivided classified property taxes collected in the county has been allowed and fixed by the budget commission, the auditor may, prior to the first day of April, in any year, pay to the treasurer of the board, from any undivided tax funds in the county treasury, an amount not exceeding twenty-five per cent of the board's share of the undivided classified property taxes; but the auditor and county treasurer shall retain an amount sufficient to meet all other requests for payments which have been made under this section or can be reasonably anticipated prior to such first day of April. On or after the first day of April, all amounts paid out of undivided tax funds shall be reimbursed to the funds from which they have been paid and charged against the share of the board of library trustees or board of township park commissioners in the undivided classified property tax fund. (D) The request of a local authority for payment or advance payment under this section of any money in the county treasury to the accounts of the local authorities in no way abrogates the right of a county treasurer to advance payment of current year unpaid taxes or current year delinquent taxes under section 321.341 of the Revised Code, and to retain the penalties and interest on those taxes upon their collection as authorized by that section. Nothing in this section prohibits a county treasurer from making an advance payment to a local authority under section 321.341 of the Revised Code, notwithstanding that a local authority has not requested advance payment by resolution as otherwise provided in this section.

Status: in_force

July 2, 2010 House Bill 48 - 128th General Assembly If the zoning resolution is adopted by the board of county commissioners, such board shall cause the question of whether or not the proposed plan of zoning shall be put into effect to be submitted to the electors residing in the unincorporated area of the county included in the proposed plan of zoning for their approval or rejection at the next primary or general election, or a special election may be called for this purpose. Such resolution shall be filed with the board of elections not later than four p.m. on the ninetieth day before the day of the election. No zoning regulations shall be put into effect in any township, unless a majority of the vote cast on the issue in that township is in favor of the proposed plan of zoning. Upon certification by the board of elections the resolution shall take immediate effect in all townships which voted approval, eliminating from the plan any township which did not vote approval. Within five working days after the resolution's effective date, the board of county commissioners shall file it, including text and maps, in the office of the county recorder. The board shall also file duplicates of the same documents with the regional or county planning commission, if one exists, within the same period.

The failure to file a resolution, or any text and maps, or duplicates of any of these documents, with the office of the county recorder or the county or regional planning commission as required by this section does not invalidate the resolution and is not grounds for an appeal of any decision of the board of zoning appeals.

(d) An eligible offender may not participate in community service without the court's approval. If the administrator of the center determines that community service is appropriate and if the eligible offender will be confined for more than ten days at the center, the eligible offender may be required to participate in community service activities approved by the court and by the political subdivision served by the court. Community service activities that may be required under this division may take place in facilities of the political subdivision that operates the court, in the community, or in both such locales. The eligible offender shall be released from confinement while engaged in the community service activities. Community service activities required under this division shall be supervised by the court or an official designated by the board of county commissioners or affiliated group of boards of county commissioners that established and is operating the center.

Inability to pay those reasonable expenses shall not be grounds for refusing to admit an otherwise eligible offender to the center. (J)(1) If an eligible offender who is directly sentenced to a community alternative sentencing center or district community alternative sentencing center and admitted to the center successfully completes the service of the community residential sanction in the center, the administrator of the center shall notify the court that imposed the sentence, and the court shall enter into the journal that the eligible offender successfully completed the service of the sanction. (2) If an eligible offender who is directly sentenced to a community alternative sentencing center or district community alternative sentencing center and admitted to the center violates any rule established under this section by the board of county commissioners or the affiliated group of boards of county commissioners that establishes the center, violates any condition of the community residential sanction, the OVI term of confinement, or the combination of the OVI term of confinement and the confinement for the violation of section 4510.14 of the Revised Code or the municipal OVI ordinance imposed by the sentencing court, or otherwise does not successfully complete the service of the community residential sanction or OVI term of confinement in the center, the administrator of the center shall report the violation or failure to successfully complete the sanction or term directly to the court or to the probation department or probation officer with general control and supervision over the eligible offender. A failure to successfully complete the service of the community residential sanction, the OVI term of confinement, or the combination of the OVI term of confinement and the confinement for the violation of section 4510.14 of the Revised Code or the municipal OVI ordinance in the center shall be considered a violation of a condition of the community residential sanction or the OVI term of confinement. If the administrator reports the violation to the probation department or probation officer, the department or officer shall report the violation to the court. Upon its receipt under this division of a report of a violation or failure to complete the sanction by a person sentenced to the center under a community residential sanction, the court may proceed as specified in division (C)(2) of section 2929.25 of the Revised Code based on the violation or as provided by ordinance of the municipal corporation based on the violation, whichever is applicable. Upon its receipt under this division of a report of a violation or failure to complete the term by a person sentenced to the center under an OVI term of confinement, the court shall determine the place at which the offender is to serve the remainder of the term of confinement. The eligible offender shall receive credit towards completing the eligible offender's sentence for the time spent in the center after admission to it. Last updated March 8, 2023 at 10:54 AM

(2) If the board of county commissioners proposing the joinder also has initiated proceedings to withdraw from an existing joint district under section 3734.522 of the Revised Code, the board shall not adopt a resolution proposing the joinder until after the memorandum of understanding has been executed in accordance with that section and, upon adopting the resolution, such board shall deliver a copy of the memorandum of understanding to the board of directors of the joint district along with the resolution proposing the joinder. Upon receiving the resolution and, if applicable, a copy of the memorandum of understanding, the board of directors shall deliver notice of the proposed joinder to the boards of county commissioners of the counties forming the existing joint district. (3) Within sixty days after receiving the notice of the proposed joinder, each such board shall adopt a resolution approving or disapproving the joinder and shall deliver a copy of the resolution to the board of directors. If the board of county commissioners of any of the counties forming the existing joint district adopts a resolution of disapproval, the board of directors shall declare the proposed joinder to be disapproved and shall deliver written notice of the disapproval to the affected boards of county commissioners. If the board of county commissioners of each county forming the existing joint district adopts a resolution approving the proposed joinder, the board of directors shall declare the joinder to be approved and shall deliver written notice of the approval to the affected boards of county commissioners. The board of directors shall determine whether the joinder has been approved or disapproved and deliver the required written notice of the approval or disapproval to the boards of county commissioners of the affected counties within thirty days after receiving the resolutions of approval or disapproval from the boards of county commissioners of the counties forming the existing joint district.

The joinder becomes final when the applicable conditions set forth in division (E) of section 3734.521 of the Revised Code have been met in connection with the change in district composition that involves the joinder. When the joinder becomes final, the board of county commissioners of the joining county or three members appointed by its legislative authority, if other than a board of county commissioners, shall be added to the board of directors of the joint district. If one or more counties withdrew from the existing joint district in connection with the change that involved the joinder, the members of the board of directors of the existing joint district from the counties that withdrew shall cease to serve as members of the board of directors on the date that the change becomes final.

(2) The board of directors of a joint district may initiate proceedings for the union of the district with another joint district by adopting a resolution requesting the union. (3) If the initiating joint district is affected by a withdrawal proceeding initiated under section 3734.522 of the Revised Code, the board of directors of the initiating joint district shall not adopt a resolution requesting the union until after the memorandum of understanding has been executed in accordance with that section. Upon adoption of the resolution, the board shall deliver a copy of it to the board of directors of the joining joint district. Within thirty days after receiving the resolution, the board of directors of the joining joint district shall deliver written notice to the initiating joint district's board of directors as to whether the joining joint district is affected by a withdrawal proceeding under section 3734.522 of the Revised Code. If the joining joint district is so affected, its board of directors shall deliver with the notice a copy of the memorandum of understanding executed in accordance with that section. (4) Within thirty days after receiving from the board of directors of the joining joint district the written notice as to whether that district is affected by a withdrawal proceeding, the initiating joint district's board of directors shall deliver a copy of the resolution requesting the union to the boards of county commissioners of the counties forming the existing joint districts. Within sixty days after receiving the resolution, each such board of county commissioners shall adopt a resolution approving or disapproving the union and deliver a copy of it to the initiating joint district's board of directors. If the board of county commissioners of any of the counties forming the existing joint districts adopts a resolution of disapproval, the board of directors shall declare the union to be disapproved and shall deliver written notice of the disapproval to the board of county commissioners of each of the affected counties. If the boards of county commissioners of all of the counties forming the existing joint districts adopt resolutions approving the proposed union, the board of directors shall declare the union to be approved and shall deliver written notice of that fact to the affected boards of county commissioners. The board of directors shall determine whether the union has been approved or disapproved and deliver the required written notices of the approval or disapproval to the boards of county commissioners of the counties forming the existing joint districts within thirty days after receiving the resolutions of approval or disapproval from those boards of county commissioners. (5) Promptly after the approval of the union, the boards of county commissioners of the affected counties shall enter into and ratify an agreement under division (A) of section 343.01 of the Revised Code to unite the districts, and proceedings shall be initiated in accordance with section 3734.521 of the Revised Code to effect the union. The union becomes final when the applicable conditions set forth in division (E) of section 3734.521 of the Revised Code have been met in connection with the change in district composition that involves the union. On the date that the union becomes final, the boards of directors of the former joint districts collectively constitute the board of directors of the united district, except that if one or more counties were joined to any of the existing joint districts in connection with the change in district composition that involved the union, the board of county commissioners or three members appointed by its legislative authority, if other than a board of county commissioners, shall be added to the board of directors of the united district, and except that if one or more counties withdrew from any of the existing joint districts in connection with the change in district composition that involved the union, the board of directors shall not include members from the counties that withdrew from the former joint districts.
