Orange Village reviews September finance reports, holds first readings of 2025‑26 appropriations and passes routine tax‑advance resolution
Summary
The village treasurer reported $19,930,808 in fund cash; council approved monthly reports, reviewed bills, heard first readings for 2025 and 2026 appropriation ordinances, and approved a routine resolution to request tax advances under the Ohio Revised Code.
Dana, the village finance official, presented the treasurer’s and tax administrator’s reports and introduced appropriation ordinances on first reading.
Dana reported total fund cash of $19,930,808, September revenue of $1,104,512 and September expenditures of $3,045,826; she said a recent Pinecrest TIF distribution explained the higher expenditures in the month. For all funds revenue was at roughly 90% of the annual budget and general fund revenue at 85% of budget, while expenditures were below budgeted levels. The tax administrator reported gross taxes for September of $643,630 and year‑to‑date collections higher than the previous year.
Council approved the treasurer’s report and the tax administrator’s report on motions and roll calls. The council held first readings of two appropriation ordinances (one to amend 2025 appropriations and one to set 2026 appropriations); Dana said exhibits will be updated ahead of later readings and that the ordinances can return in December for passage.
Council also passed Resolution 2025‑6, a routine housekeeping measure requesting the fiscal officer to advance property tax collections under the Ohio Revised Code so the village receives funds throughout the year rather than waiting for the county’s final settlement. Dana described the advance as a timing tool to get municipal funds sooner.
Bills to be paid were listed as $423,500.28 for November and additional October expenses of $127,995.65; no substantive debate was recorded on those warrants.
