Council introduces ordinance to update municipal income tax code; described as housekeeping
Summary
Council opened and closed a public hearing and introduced an ordinance to amend chapter 181.05 of the codified ordinances regarding municipal income tax. Tax Commissioner Rita Williams described the change as largely housekeeping tied to upgraded tax software and IRS/industry conformance.
The council opened a public hearing on an ordinance to amend chapter 181.05 of the codified ordinances of the Village of Granville concerning municipal income tax, offered attendees the opportunity to speak and recorded no public comment. The public hearing was then closed and the ordinance was formally introduced.
Speaker 8 introduced Ordinance number 2025 (an amendment to section 181.05); Rita Williams, the tax commissioner, provided explanatory materials included in the council packet and said the change aligns the village’s tax processes with an upgraded tax software system and Internal Revenue Service/industry requirements. Williams characterized the change as "largely housekeeping," intended to update procedures for software and reporting rather than alter the tax rate.
Council members asked no substantive questions that changed the ordinance text during the meeting, and a roll-call was taken with council members voting in favor of introduction. The ordinance will proceed through the council’s regular ordinance process for further readings, public notice and eventual adoption if approved in subsequent meetings.
