A copy of the resolution, having been placed on the desks of each member of Council prior to introduction, was read by title.

Vice Mayor Byington explained that the city is a participating member of the Dayton Regional Energy Special Improvement District, or “ESID.” ESIDs are authorized by state law as a mechanism that allows residents and local businesses to finance certain energy efficiency projects through special assessments.

Since Oakwood is a participating member, Council is required by law to appoint a person to serve on the Dayton ESID’s Board of Directors. Oakwood’s previous appointee no longer works for the city, so the resolution is being introduced to appoint the City Law Director to serve on that board.

Thereupon, it was moved by Vice Mayor Byington and seconded by Mrs. Hilton that the resolution be passed.

Upon call of the roll on the question of the motion, the following vote was recorded:

There being five (5) yea votes and no (0) nay votes thereon, said resolution was declared duly passed and it was so ordered.

Vice Mayor Byington explained that each tax year, the Montgomery County Budget Commission is required to certify its determination of the millage rates and amounts the city will receive from its existing property tax levies. For 2023-2024, the Budget Commission has determined that Oakwood will receive $1,268,666 from inside-millage and $472,969 from outside-millage tax levies. These figures are consistent with the city’s projections, although it should be noted that the outside-millage figure is lower than needed because it assumes the expiration of a 3.75-mill levy at the end of this year. That levy is on the ballot for renewal in November. As a renewal, it will not raise property taxes.

This is the annual resolution to accept the county’s determination.

Thereupon, it was moved by Vice Mayor Byington and seconded by Mr. Stephens that the resolution be passed.

Upon call of the roll on the question of the motion, the following vote was recorded:

There being five (5) yea votes and no (0) nay votes thereon, said resolution was declared duly passed and it was so ordered.
