Saint Bernard council adopts Resolution 4-2025, a levy measure, in unanimous vote
Summary
The Committee of the Whole recessed to a special council meeting and adopted Resolution 4-2025 by a 7–0 roll call. Council members debated the levy briefly; an auditor said it would bring in $599,038 and a council member urged residents to check county tax breakdowns.
The Saint Bernard Council adopted Resolution 4-2025 in a unanimous roll-call vote after briefly reconvening as a special council meeting on April 10. Clerk-recorded roll call showed seven ayes and no nays, and the president declared the resolution "adopted as read."
Auditor Miss Piquoy told council the levy "would bring in $599,038," and said that when the levy was started in 2005 it yielded about $1,200,000. The auditor described the current figure as lower than anticipated and said she had not yet reconciled the difference in calculation years.
Council member Miss Britton urged residents and council to check the Hamilton County auditor’s breakdown so voters understand where property-tax dollars go, stating that "the village brings in about $930,000" in property taxes and that much of residents’ property-tax bills go to schools rather than to the village.
Mr. Schultmeyer moved to adopt Resolution 4-2025 and Mr. Morton seconded; the clerk called the roll and the motion carried 7–0. The president then returned the meeting to the Committee of the Whole to continue other business.
The resolution was adopted as read; council did not debate amendments or request further staff analysis at that time. Additional procedural or public-review steps were not listed in the meeting transcript.
