Forest Park Council adopts resolution to place special assessments for indigent burial program
Summary
On July 1 the Forest Park City Council unanimously adopted Resolution 30-22-24 asking the Hamilton County auditor to place special assessments against a property in the city to recover indigent burial costs; the resolution follows prior discussion at a work session.
The Forest Park City Council unanimously adopted Resolution 30-22-24 on July 1, requesting that the Hamilton County auditor place special assessments against a property in the city to recover costs associated with the indigent burial program. The council voted on a motion to adopt after suspending the rules for a second reading; the roll-call vote was recorded as 7–0 in favor.
Council members said the resolution had been discussed at a prior work session and that involved parties had been informed. The clerk confirmed the resolution was posted as required prior to the meeting.
Why it matters: the action authorizes the city to seek recovery of indigent burial costs through a county special assessment mechanism tied to a property; this affects the property owner(s) identified in the county assessment process.
Votes and procedure: the council suspended the rules to permit a second reading by title only, then moved to adopt Resolution 30-22-24. The clerk recorded unanimous support on the roll-call vote. No amendments were recorded at the July 1 meeting.
Next steps: staff will coordinate with the Hamilton County auditor’s office to place the assessment as allowed by the resolution and report back to council as required.
