A letter was received from the Ohio Department of Taxation, stating that the county portion of the sales and use tax rate will increase by (1/2%) one-half percent effective January 1, 2010.


Due to rising production and postage expenses, the Department of Taxation will no longer mail notices concerning sales tax rate changes. While this may be a minor inconvenience for some taxpayers, the long term affect will save Ohio’s taxpayers thousands of dollars.

View of Proposed Ditch Improvement 2110-Howard

Commissioner Short convened the view at the site of the proposed improvement at CR 10-2 between Roads J & K, with Commissioners Genter and Barnaby also present, together with Rod Creager, Joe Fenicle, and Brinda Miller from the Fulton County Engineers Office, and various landowners.

 

Commissioner Short turned the discussion over to Rod Creager, Chief Deputy Engineer.  Mr. Creager explained that a Petition had been filed by Jack Howard for drainage improvements on a previously petitioned ditch. Specifically for a new outlet tile.  There are currently two-12” tiles.  One 12 would be replaced with a new 18, while one of the 12’s would remain in service.  Mr. Creager pointed out the petitioned area and explained the ditch petition process as prescribed by the ORC. He stated that in his previous discussion with some landowners and trustees, there is talk of a possible extension of the original petition that was filed.  He stated that one tile is approximately 100 years old and was unsure of the age of the other.  A landowner suggested it may have been put in sometime in the 20’s.  Mr. Creager explained that a useful life of a drainage tile was approximately 50 years.  A landowner asked about the costs of the project.  Mr. Creager explained the process and that during the first hearing he would give preliminary estimates.  He cannot get exact figures until the Commissioners order the survey. 

 

The First Hearing on this matter will be held in the Commissioners Session Room at 10:30 a.m. on November 30, 2009.

 

The View Ended at 10:29 a.m.
