Resident tells Silver Creek supervisors his 'garden lot' tax bill jumped nearly 1,000% and reports a loose dog
Summary
During open forum resident Brian Jones told the board his proposed 2025 property taxes on a 'garden lot' increased nearly 1,000% and reported a loose dog on Ellingwood Ave; the minutes record the complaints but show no staff response or follow-up action.
During the Nov. 26 open forum, resident Brian Jones told the Silver Creek Township Board that his proposed 2025 property taxes on a 'garden lot' had increased nearly 1,000 percent and also informed the board of a dog running loose around Ellingwood Avenue. The minutes record these items as public comment; no staff response, referral or action is shown in the meeting record.
The board did not record further details about the tax assessment (parcel ID, assessed value, or whether the increase was an error or reclassification), nor did the minutes note any immediate steps to investigate or respond to the loose-dog report. The record simply captures Jones's statements under Open Forum.
Ending: The minutes list the public comments but do not document follow-up; residents seeking relief or investigation should contact the clerk-treasurer for next steps, as the minutes do not show board direction on these specific items.
