Mr. Lewis said he could not support the increase until at least an estimate is made of what the money will be used for. Mayor Headlee said she has talked to a number of different type people who live in different areas of the Village and feels the only persons that would be opposed to the Income Tax increase would be those who work and live in Dublin.

Tax Withholdings Shoes for maintenance employees ESTIMATES REFERENCE PROPOSED 1/2% INCOME TAX Assume 5,000 workers employed in Dublin and that approximately 80% of these workers live outside of Dublin (Survey by Worthington according to Don Ochs, City of Columbus) Assume at least 50% to 60% of Dublin workers live in Columbus or other suburbs and pay an additional 1/2% to that municipality. This means that if we assume income thax collections of $1,300,000 in 1982 (at 1%), we can assume that approximately $325,000 is being paid to other municipalities. A 3.8 mill property tax levy would generate approximately $327,000. $86,000,000 x 3.8 mills = $326,800.00. Why ask 80% of Dublin residents to forget the 1/2% income tax and ask for a 3.8 mills property tax? Cost to Property Owner Assume average home $80,000,00 market value $80,000.00 x 35% = $28,000 valuation. $28,000 x 3.8 mills = $106.00 additional taxes. Cost to Worker Assume average income of $20,000.00. $20,000 x 1/2% = $100.00 additional taxes How can you sell the 3.8 mill levy with these facts. Other Facts 1) Assume 2,000 (maximum) workers eligible to work live in Dublin. 2) 11% of total income tax paid is from corporate income taxes 3) List of cities that have 1 1/2% income tax: 1 - Columbus 2 Upper Arlington 3 Grandview Heights 4 Hilliard 5 Bexley 4) Police Levy: Worthington - .3 mill Bexley - None Gahanna - None Upper Arlington - .3 mill + 1 mill voted , ESTIMATES REFERENCE PROPOSED 1/2% INCOME TAX cont. 4) Police Levy cont.: Westerville - None Reynoldsburg - .3 Sharon Township - None Dublin - 1.2 currently 5) Current Tax Levies in Other Ci ti es City of Columbus (Cols.
