LEGISLATION
A RESOLUTION
BY VICE MAYOR BYINGTON NO 1849
RESOLUTION ACCEPTING THE AMOUNTS AND RATES AS DETERMINED BY THE BUDGET COMMISSION AND AUTHORIZING THE NECESSARY TAX LEVIES AND CERTIFYING THEM TO THE COUNTY AUDITOR.

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 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 2018-2019, the Budget Commission has determined that Oakwood will receive $1,138,065 from inside-millage and $462,568 from its outside-millage tax levies. These figures are consistent with the city’s projections, although they do not include money from the city’s existing 3.75 mill levy because the levy expires this year and will be presented to the voters for renewal at the November election. This is Oakwood’s annual resolution to accept the county’s determination.

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