Summary

Ordinance 061-25, the city’s alternate tax budget, passed unanimously. Finance Director Smith said the filing contains 2025 actual figures and 2026 estimates, lets the county set next year’s property tax rate and provides estimated resources to the county by July 18. The ordinance does not itself appropriate funds.

The Euclid City Council on June 2 adopted Ordinance 061-25, the city’s alternate tax budget filing, a procedural measure the county uses to set property tax rates and prepare the certificate of estimated resources.

Finance Director Smith told council the ordinance compiles budgeted 2025 figures and estimates for 2026 and "doesn't appropriate any funds for the city." He said the filing allows the county to set the property tax rate for next year and to issue the city’s certificate of estimated resources; the county must receive the document by July 18.

Council offered no substantive amendments. A motion to suspend the rules and forego further readings carried and the ordinance passed on a unanimous roll call.

The administration said staff would be available to answer further questions but did not identify any changes to current appropriations in the measure.
