Pataskala council unanimously approves tax-increment declaration and supplemental appropriations
Summary
The Pataskala City Council voted to adopt Ordinance 2024-4486, declaring improvements to certain properties a public purpose with a municipal public-improvement tax-increment equivalent fund under Ohio Revised Code provisions, and Ordinance 2025-4489, authorizing supplemental appropriations for fiscal year 2025. Both measures passed on roll-call.
The Pataskala City Council voted to adopt two ordinances during its meeting.
Ordinance 2024-4486 was adopted on third reading. The ordinance declares the improvement of certain real property in the city to be a public purpose, exempts the identified parcels from real-property taxation in specified circumstances, designates public infrastructure improvements that will directly benefit the parcels, and establishes a municipal public-improvement tax-increment equivalent fund. The ordinance cites Ohio Revised Code sections 5709.40B, 5709.42, 5709.43, 5709.832 and 5709.85 as the statutory authorities.
Councilmember Walter moved to adopt Ordinance 2024-4486; the motion was seconded by Mr. Galick. In the roll-call vote the following members voted yes: Coleman, Pamshire, Galick, Lee and Walter. The ordinance was adopted.
The council then considered Ordinance 2025-4489, a third-reading ordinance to make supplemental appropriations for current expenses and other expenditures for the fiscal year ending Dec. 31, 2025. Councilmember Walter moved to adopt; the motion was seconded (transcript identifies the second as Mr. Gailey). Roll call recorded yes votes from Hamshire, Galick, Lee, Walter and Cohen; the ordinance passed.
Earlier on the agenda the council approved the consent agenda by roll call (motion by Mr. Walter; second by Mr. Galick). During that vote several members answered in the affirmative, including Walter, Bowman, James Dyer and Galick.
The council did not include additional detail in the meeting transcript about the specific parcels affected under Ordinance 2024-4486 or the line-item changes included in Ordinance 2025-4489; those details were not specified in the record provided to the council during the meeting.
