MEMORANDUM
TO : Tim Hansley, City Manager
.
through Nanette Metz, Finance Director
FROM: Steve Hoffman, Tax Administrator
SUBJECT : Council Resolution
DATE : June 21, 1989
r have written the attached resolution of intent to support the
administration of the tax program for the Village of Powell for
the approval by council at the July 11, 1989 meeting. The
Powell Village Manager, Bob Schaumleffel, has requested, per
instruction from his council members, that he obtain some form
of commitment from Dublin as Powell is progressing through the
steps of an income tax ordinance enactment.
The administration of the program by Dublin would be much the
same as when Columbus administered the tax program for Dublin.
That is, there would be a percentage fee charged on gross
collection. Due to Powells immediate potential to only generate
limited tax revenue, the actual revenue generated for Dublin
would be a small, but increasing, amount. Despite limited
revenue to Dublin, r feel certain that a worst case scenario, as
it would affect Dublin, would be a breakeven to Dublin in the
first years administration. r predict that in future years the
revenue to Dublin would exceed its cost of administering the
program.
Also noteworthy would be a provision for either party to
terminate the contract at any time with six months notice to
the other party. Thus, this should be viewed as beneficial as
long as both parties feel there is a mutual advantage to
continue to have this agreement in place.
r believe that Powell should receive the benefit of our
experience during the crucial initial stages of their growth in
income tax administration and other governmental areas as well.
As you know, cooperation, especially among local governmental
bodies, is a valuable source of information and assistance to
staff personnel to help determine procedures in the everyday
operating environment.
This resolution is to serve only as an indicator to Powell of
Dublins willingness to administer the tax program. Powell has
already expressed their desire of working with Dublin on this
issue. The actual ordinance to enter into an agreement with
Powell would be subject to agreement terms being defined and
accepted by both municipalities at a later date.

I feel it is in the best interest of Dublin to offer this
support to Powell. It serves to promote inter-governmental
relations among two municipalities located in the northwestern
part of Franklin and southwestern part of Delaware counties. It
serves to help get Powell started in the right direction of
professional tax administration. It could serve to make a
profit center of a city department and it could foster long term .
relationships between Powell, Dublin and other suburban
municipalities.
I regret that I will not be able to attend the July 11th meeting
due to a planned vacation. I hope this memo helps to answer any
concern that council may have. I will be happy to offer any
additional information that may be requested upon my return.

Dear Steve:
This letter will act as a follow up to our telephone conversation
this morning pertaining to, the Village of Powell, implementing a
Municipal Income Tax.
At last Tuesday nights Village Council Meeting ,during the discussion
of the first reading of the enactment of a Municipal Income Tax,
the Village Council of Powell instructed this office to start the
process in development of a formal agreement between the Village
of Powell and the City of Dublin.
That agreement would request that the City of Dublin act as_a third
party administrator for collection and distribution of a Municipal
Income Tax.
The Mayor and Village Council greatly appreciate the support from
your office and the assistance in the development of the initial,
enabling legislation and would look very favorably on development
of a joint working relationship on the income tax collection.
I hope this letter will serve as enough formal acknowledgement, of
the Village of Powell's interest into having the City of Dublin act
as our income tax administrator and if the City Council of Dublin
would like either additional information, clarification, or a personal
interview with representatives of the Village, we would be more than
happy to make ourselves available.
We look forward to working with you in the future and please contact
this office at your earliest convenience.
R;e:t~
o ert Schaumleffel,
Village Administrator
