Top issues during term (8)(Taxes Budget)
Brookpark Middle School lease saga continues
Current ordinance restricts city spending at the site to utility bills and contractual obligations pending resolution.
2027 budget and fiscal outlook
No property tax increase; city share is roughly $490 on a $400,000 home.
Participatory budgeting idea
2027 tax levies certified
$6.6 million in real estate tax revenue at a rate unchanged for 20 years.
Century Village assessment and funding needs
Additional funding will be needed for the Century Village work beyond the completed assessment.
Water rates and regional cost pressures
Expect continued water and sewer bill increases driven by Columbus's regional investments, regardless of local surcharge policy.
Tax abatement and school district funding policy
The 2023 proposal would have abated 85% of property taxes while redirecting a 15% PILOT to infrastructure; TIFs redirect increment but don't raise anyone's tax bill.
Brookpark Middle School lease reconsideration
Could end city spending at the site beyond utility bills and contractual obligations.
