South Bloomfield reports RITA collections, approves permanent appropriations and keeps dumpster days at municipal building
Summary
Fiscal Officer Alisha Burke reported RITA outreach produced $26,392.50 in payments to date after 670 non‑filing letters and 503 subpoenas; council approved Ordinance 2026‑04 (Permanent Appropriations) on third reading and agreed to hold both dumpster days at the old municipal building.
Fiscal Officer Alisha Burke told the Village of South Bloomfield Council on March 16 that the RITA non‑filing and subpoena program sent 670 non‑filing letters and 503 subpoenas last fall at a village cost of $503, producing $26,392.50 in payments to date; she reported $60,492.40 remains outstanding for RITA to continue collection efforts.
When resident Bing Crosby asked why the village does not offer autopay for water bills, Burke said the village's bank cannot currently receive bulk ACH payments, which prevents setting up autopay until the bank can handle bulk transactions.
Council also approved Ordinance 2026‑04 (Permanent Appropriations) at third reading; the motion to approve the third reading was moved by Tim Ooten and seconded by Lisa McDorman, and the roll call vote was unanimous. Council agreed to hold both dumpster days at the old municipal building so they can be scheduled with Rumpke.
The Fiscal Officer's report presented concrete collection figures; the transcript does not record any council motion directing additional immediate collection steps beyond continuing work with RITA. The council voted unanimously to pay bills and adjourned at 6:52 p.m.
