Politics
The area commonly know as "Beavercreek" consists of two government authorities, the City Of Beavercreek and Beavercreek Township. From a resident standpoint, there are few differences... they're served by the same fire department and school system, the tax base is nearly identical, and we all just seem to live in "Beavercreek". The township is served by the Greene County Sherrif rather than the Beavercreek Police Department - this is the most outwardly noticeable difference. If you live in the city - you also live in the township - If you're outside of the city - you're only in the township.

Beavercreek City School District Emergency Additional Levy
In Beavercreek, the Beavercreek City Schools District is seeking an additional, emergency levy of 6.7-mills that would last for five years commencing in 2011. If Issue 11 passes, the levy would generate $10,950,000 for the district to pay increasing operating costs. Beavercreek Schools Superintendent Nick Verhoff said the district is already deficit spending. He predicts if the levy fails, the district would be in the red by 2014.

Beavercreek Township - Construction, Reconstruction, Resurfacing & Repair Roads & Bridges
Beavercreek Township Road Department is currently responsible for approximately 40 miles of roadway in the unincorporated area of the Township. This is an 18 percent increase in road mileage since the last time this levy was passed, a positive indication of the continued growth in the unincorporated area.
Issue 1 is the renewal of a 1.5 mill levy originally passed in the fall of 2006 which affects those citizens in the unincorporated area. The passage of Issue 1 will ensure that the Beavercreek Township Road Department can continue to provide the same level of service to the residents that they have come to expect without an increase in taxes.
Over the last several years the Road Department has faced many challenges in providing services to the unincorporated area, such as rising costs of materials and the loss of State funding. During the five-year life of the current levy, equipment fuel costs have risen by 50 percent; salt to treat the roadways has risen by 38 percent; and due to the elimination of reimbursements such as tangible personal property and gas deregulation, the Road Department budget is looking at a loss of $103,442 by 2013. The Beavercreek Township Road Department, with the guidance of the Township’s elected officials, has put in place programs to help meet these shortfalls. One such program involves using an environmentally friendly liquid salt additive to help reduce the amount of salt used during the winter driving season.
This program has resulted in a 35 percent decrease in salt usage since its implementation in 2007. It also resulted in a reduction in overtime costs due to the residual benefits of the additive. The additive program, along with other cost saving measures and available grant funding, have allowed the Road Department to continue other important programs, such as road resurfacing – 14 miles of roadway in the last five years – capital equipment replacement, and storm water management.
The Beavercreek Township Road Department is committed to providing the taxpayers of the unincorporated area of the Township with the highest quality service while keeping operating costs at a minimum. The passage of this renewal levy will allow the Township to continue serving its citizens in the manner that they deserve and have come to count on.
