00:00:14,080 --> 00:00:21,480
I pledge allegiance to the flag of the

and to the Republic for which it stands,
one nation under God, indivisible, with

00:00:52,320 --> 00:00:58,040
Is there any motion if anybody has one?

12
00:00:57,000 --> 00:01:00,000

18
00:01:14,160 --> 00:01:18,640
» I didn't hear you.
>> Aye.

19
00:01:16,520 --> 00:01:21,040
» There you go, sir.
All right.

20
00:01:19,960 --> 00:01:25,800
Motion passed.
>> Okay.

21
00:01:22,840 --> 00:01:30,000
» Public forum. Anybody here want to speak
upon a tax hearing or anything on the

22
00:01:28,120 --> 00:01:34,000
agenda related to the
sales tax, which is

23
00:01:35,040 --> 00:01:41,440
sales tax?
It's on real property tax, I'm sorry.

24
00:01:39,120 --> 00:01:45,520
It's a tax levy for taxation of the
general revenue purposes for the year

25
00:01:43,200 --> 00:01:49,280
2027.
>> Yeah, as a citizen, can you describe

26
00:01:47,760 --> 00:01:53,160
this
in simpler terms, please?

27
00:01:51,320 --> 00:01:57,760
» This is for your property and personal
property tax on the valuation

28
00:01:55,800 --> 00:02:02,600
which you own
for the city taxes not the county.

29
00:02:00,680 --> 00:02:05,760
Just based off what the county
assessment showed on what our net worth

30
00:02:04,560 --> 00:02:09,160
is.
Uh 4,444,411

31
00:02:10,600 --> 00:02:15,320
dollars and zero cents.
And

32
00:02:15,360 --> 00:02:19,640
» Basically the rates remain the same.
>> Yes.

33
00:02:18,760 --> 00:02:23,640
Uh
as we are not we have no tax levy on the

34
00:02:21,880 --> 00:02:28,680
ballot or had
made any tax levy like

35
00:02:26,600 --> 00:02:32,160
what we had previous year
what we can raise.

36
00:02:30,160 --> 00:02:36,640
I guess we got that we voted to approve.
So our tax

37
00:02:33,920 --> 00:02:41,400
rate will be at
>> 0.9867

38
00:02:38,840 --> 00:02:45,240
» 0.9867
which has been like that for many a

39
00:02:42,959 --> 00:02:51,240
year.
Uh you can see it in the pro forma

40
00:02:47,480 --> 00:02:55,240
in the state auditor's office there.
And likewise so

41
00:02:54,120 --> 00:02:59,880
um
if you need to have any other questions

42
00:02:57,600 --> 00:03:04,440
citizen data
>> Uh

43
00:03:01,200 --> 00:03:10,000
yeah, what about the issue of uh senior
citizens uh

44
00:03:06,880 --> 00:03:13,239
making uh tax freeze
>> You have to fill out the application at

45
00:03:11,680 --> 00:03:19,320
the county
and then submit that and after that they

46
00:03:16,640 --> 00:03:22,640
go and submit at certain time.
Um

47
00:03:20,400 --> 00:03:26,519
we don't do that here. We chose not to
do that because we do not have any of

48
00:03:24,120 --> 00:03:26,519
those issues.

49
00:03:26,560 --> 00:03:30,160
Where did you get the census
>> How we get

50
00:03:29,040 --> 00:03:32,720
» I have a quick question.
>> Thank you.

51
00:03:30,840 --> 00:03:35,959
» Yeah.
>> Anything else guys?

52
00:03:36,880 --> 00:03:39,920
You have anything on that?

53
00:03:41,600 --> 00:03:46,200
Do you have anything there?
Joey? Okay.

54
00:03:45,280 --> 00:03:50,080
» I'm good here.
>> All right.

55
00:03:47,600 --> 00:03:55,680
New business.
Uh bill number 2026-831

56
00:03:53,800 --> 00:04:00,200
an ordinance concerning the amount of
money necessary to be raised by taxation

57
00:03:58,160 --> 00:04:05,720
for general revenue purposes during the
year 2027 and fixing the annual rate of

58
00:04:03,760 --> 00:04:09,280

In your packets in that ordinance,

verbatim in there of the adoption that
we're attempting to give for that bill

61
00:04:15,760 --> 00:04:24,320

county assessment

62

West Liberty, St. Mary's for general

revenue purposes is receivable of
$43,082.

64
00:04:32,280 --> 00:04:39,800
That would be $125 I think over
last year.

65
00:04:37,520 --> 00:04:39,800
Uh

66
00:04:40,240 --> 00:04:43,360
