The township law director, Brian Pacheco, said he didn’t know if this gave voters time to petition for a referendum preventing the new agreement from taking effect.
The agreements determine how much of nearly $1.2 million a year in property tax goes to the city’s general fund, rather than to cover township expenses.
The agreements also prevent Springboro from breaking off and forming its own fire department, rather than sharing in use of Clearcreek fire prevention and emergency medical services, funded through a separate levy.
Also under the agreements, the city refrains from annexing township land without consent of the trustees.
