Council Minutes of 1-16-2018 • I have asked to put the borrowing for the streets and phone project on the agenda for first reading at the upcoming Special Council Meeting. It requires three readings and 30 days after passage before we can borrow the funds. We want to get moving on it so we can get started on the projects. • The IRS released the 2018 Tax Withholding Tables. They have to be entered by the first pay of February, but I expect to be ready to go by the next pay. Residents may see a reduction on their utilities as PUCO has requested the savings the utilities get from lower taxes also be passed on to the customers, since when there is a tax increase it gets passed on to the customers. The companies have until February 15 to file comments. I do not think it will be as easy as it sounds, but I will keep my fingers crossed.
