§ 5561.13.
The board of township trustees and the legislative authority of any municipal corporation
in which a proposed grade crossing improvement is to be made may assume and agree
to pay to the county, on behalf of the municipal corporation such portion of the costs
of the improvement assumed by the county as the board of township trustees or legislative
authority deem reasonable. For the purpose of raising the money to pay the proportion of the cost of such improvement
payable by the county, township, or municipal corporation, the bonds of such county,
township, or municipal corporation may be issued to the necessary amount. They shall be of such denomination and payable at such place and times as the board
of county commissioners, board of township trustees, or legislative authority respectively
determine, and shall bear interest not exceeding the rate provided in section 9.95 of the Revised Code , but shall not be sold for less than their par value. After completion of the improvement, a tax may be levied by the county to pay the
costs of maintaining and keeping in repair that part of the work required to be maintained
and kept in repair by the county. The bond issues and tax levies authorized by this section shall be subject to the
limitation prescribed for bond issues and tax levies for the purpose of paying the
county's, township's, and municipal corporation's share of the cost of a road improvement
carried forward by the state.
