Franklin County voters can expect to see levies for the Alcohol, Drug and Mental Health Board and the Columbus Zoo and Aquarium. Columbus residents will vote on contested city council and school board races alongside $2 billion in bonds.

In July, Liberty Township trustees voted to impose a $1 fee on Columbus Zoo and Aquarium tickets to help recoup costs for fire and EMS service to the zoo.

The young man wants to see dress code policies that are more inclusive toward trans people at public swimming areas, including Zoombezi Bay, the Columbus Zoo's waterpark.

Columbus Zoo staff knew the zoo鈥檚 male lion, Roary, and one of the lionesses, Asali, did not get along. Staff believe one of the lions damaged a door between their enclosures overnight.

The Liberty Township Board of Trustees voted on a resolution to establish a 鈥淧rotect and Serve Charge鈥� on Tuesday that would add a $1 fee to Columbus Zoo tickets. It will go into effect on Aug 30.

A $2.3 million fraud scheme at the Columbus Zoo led to the convictions of five former employees.

The zoo is seeking foreclosures on the homes of former CEO Thomas Stalf and former marketing director Peter Fingerhut to help pay restitution after they were convicted of defrauding the zoo.

Pete Fingerhut pleaded guilty in July to 16 felony counts.

Stalf pleaded guilty in July to 15 felony counts for his role in the theft of $2.29 million from the zoo.

Tracy Murnane, former purchasing officer for the Columbus Zoo, will also pay a $5,000 fine.
