AN ORDINANCE
BY VICE MAYOR BYINGTON NO 4936
AN ORDINANCE ADOPTING THE 2022 TAX BUDGET FOR THE CITY OF OAKWOOD, OHIO, FOR THE FISCAL YEAR BEGINNING JANUARY 2022.

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

Vice Mayor Byington explained that to comply with Section 6.01 of the City Charter, this is the annual housekeeping ordinance to estimate the city’s revenues and expenses for calendar year 2022. The ordinance was introduced with a first reading at the April 5, 2021 Council meeting.

The City Charter requires a public hearing for this ordinance. Notice of the hearing was published as required, inviting any interested residents to contact the Clerk of Council to arrange for remote testimony. No one has done so, so the record will reflect that the hearing was duly convened but no members of the public wished to testify.

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

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

MR. WILLIAM D. DUNCAN YEA
MR. STEVEN BYINGTON YEA
MR. ROBERT P. STEPHENS YEA
MRS. ANNE HILTON YEA
MRS. LEIGH TURBEN YEA

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