1/4% Income Tax Increase and what it
    could do for the City of Tiffin
• This ¼% would generate approximately
  $960,000.00 in General Fund Revenue
• There has not been an increase in tax rates
  since 1987.
• Social Security, Pensions, Interest and
  Dividends, Military pay, Insurance
  proceeds, Unemployment benefits, and
  Workers Compensation benefits are NOT
  subject to City income tax. See next slide
How would the ¼% income tax
   increase impact a Tiffin Resident

  Average Household income      $91/year or $1.75 week
          ($36,400)
Income Tax Comparisons by City
              as of 1/1/11
•   Bowling Green 2.00
•   Crestline     2.00
•   Fostoria      2.00
•   Galion        2.00
•   Kent          2.00
•   Oregon        2.25
•   Rossford      2.25
•   Toledo        2.25
WHAT WILL HAPPEN IF NOT
         PASSED
• Cost Cutting Measures with Budget
  Reductions not being enough
• Revenue MUST be increased or Cuts will take
  place
  – Only main streets will be plowed(no side streets)
  – Police and fire response times will certainly suffer
    due to lack of man power
  – Leaf pick-up could cease
City options if income tax fails
• Less police officers will be available for calls

• Less fire/EMS personnel will be available for
  calls

• Less employees in Street Department

• Serious affect on Parks and Recreation
Continued cuts – what will happen
• Street paving funds are already low but this
  could become depleted due to funding
• Infrastructure maintenance
• Parks will suffer and so will the activities
• High grass enforcements efforts will be
  reduced and property maintenance
• Personnel are going to be reduced
HOW MUCH WOULD THIS MEAN TO
 YOU BY ADDING 1/4% INCOME TAX
• Impact on resident making $36,400 a year
  would be looking at $1.75 per week.
• This is a small price to pay for the services that
  will be received
  – Great Safety services from Fire and Police
  – Great Parks to take advantage of
  – Improvement on street paving, city
    plowing, salting, leaf pick-up and maintenance for
    the City of Tiffin
CONCLUSIONS
• This tax is not to add programs but just to
  maintain what we currently have and
  restoring the City to where it should be. There
  have been many cuts already.
• This tax is to restore and add the essentials we
  have listed before you to maintain City
  services.

  • 17. WHAT WILL HAPPEN IF NOT PASSED • Cost Cutting Measures with Budget Reductions not being enough • Revenue MUST be increased or Cuts will take place – Only main streets will be plowed(no side streets) – Police and fire response times will certainly suffer due to lack of man power – Leaf pick-up could cease
  • 18. City options if income tax fails • Less police officers will be available for calls • Less fire/EMS personnel will be available for calls • Less employees in Street Department • Serious affect on Parks and Recreation
  • 19. Continued cuts – what will happen • Street paving funds are already low but this could become depleted due to funding • Infrastructure maintenance • Parks will suffer and so will the activities • High grass enforcements efforts will be reduced and property maintenance • Personnel are going to be reduced
  • 20. HOW MUCH WOULD THIS MEAN TO YOU BY ADDING 1/4% INCOME TAX • Impact on resident making $36,400 a year would be looking at $1.75 per week. • This is a small price to pay for the services that will be received – Great Safety services from Fire and Police – Great Parks to take advantage of – Improvement on street paving, city plowing, salting, leaf pick-up and maintenance for the City of Tiffin
  • 21. CONCLUSIONS • This tax is not to add programs but just to maintain what we currently have and restoring the City to where it should be. There have been many cuts already. • This tax is to restore and add the essentials we have listed before you to maintain City services.

  2. The City has not asked for an income tax increase since 1982? Maintained reasonable services for the years by exercising conservative spending on basic governmental services, maintaining fiscally prudent staffing levels. Economic Development Grant solicitationsAs the economy worsened took additional measures
  3. Since the 1930’s? Local Cities have always received back some State taxes, know as the Local Government Fund. The purpose of the fund was to assure that state taxes collected were getting back to the local communities that paid them. For the last ten years, as the state economy has gotten worse we have watched the state rob these funds and reduce the local government share year after year in an attempt to balance the state’s budget. It is clear that in the near future, this fund will be entirely eliminated and we will no longer receive any funds from the State. The additional funds from this income tax levy will allow us to replace this revenue eliminated by the state.
