Council approves routine resolution allowing emergency early property-tax payments
Summary
The council unanimously adopted Resolution 25-1224, a routine annual precaution that allows the city to request early disbursement of property-tax receipts from the county auditor during an emergency; council also suspended the two-reading rule to adopt it the same night.
The Mount Healthy City Council voted unanimously to adopt Resolution 25-1224 authorizing the city to request early payment of property-tax receipts from the county auditor in the event of an emergency.
City Manager Scott Bauer described the item as an annual, precautionary resolution that the city keeps on file to enable a request for tax disbursement before the standard payout dates if urgent cash-flow needs arise. "This is one we do every year," Bauer said.
Council moved to suspend the two-reading rule for the resolution so it could be acted on immediately. Mr. Rennie moved to suspend the rule and a second was recorded; council members voted aye on suspension and then on adopting the resolution. The roll-call vote on adoption was unanimous.
The resolution was presented as a contingency measure; no immediate request for early funds was made and no additional appropriations or changes to the operating budget were described in the meeting record. The council did not attach conditions or triggers for an early-request process during the discussion on the record.
