Fort Recovery places proposed income tax increase on Nov. 4 ballot after low open-house turnout
Summary
Council staff confirmed an income tax increase (from 1.0% to 1.5%) will appear on the Nov. 4 ballot; Mayor Dave Kaup and staff noted the open-house meeting on the levy drew no attendees and outreach will continue.
Village staff told the council Oct. 20 that a proposed change in the municipal income tax rate—an increase from 1.0% to 1.5%—will appear on the Nov. 4 ballot.
Mayor Dave Kaup said the village held an open-house on the issue earlier that evening that lasted about an hour but drew no attendees. Randy Diller confirmed the Nov. 4 election date for the levy and staff noted outreach and procedural steps will continue. Aaron Rengers said there is an application available for residents interested in potential council seats that will open after the election.
The minutes record the council’s procedural handling of the tax item and public outreach but do not include additional fiscal analysis or projected revenue figures. Staff will continue voter outreach and final administrative steps related to ballot preparation.
The Nov. 4 date is the next municipal election day; residents interested in details about the levy or candidate applications should consult village postings for official materials and fiscal summaries when they are released.
