Holland village council opposes income tax uniformity bill
By Brianne Szymanski
Holland Village Council
has issued a resolution in
strong opposition to House
Bill 5, which pertains to
uniformity in state income
tax.
Council believes that the
passage of HB 5 would
result in a substantial loss of
revenue plus unfunded mandates.
“This is an effort by the
state to obtain control over
municipal tax collection,
making it impossible to fix
or determine mistakes,”
Mayor Michael Yunker said.
The council is in agreement that the bill is poorly
worded, benefitting only the
few businesses that support
it, and argue that when the
bill was passed it differed
greatly from what was discussed at previous meetings.
According to the resolution, Representatives Grossman and Henne added language that threatens the
financial stability of municipalities, including unfunded
mandates that greatly
reduce revenue.
Ultimately, HB 5 makes
it difficult to monitor
income tax, and could
decrease revenue by about
40 percent, the mayor said.
“If it becomes effective,
it leads to a decrease in tax
revenue, which leads to
lessened services in the
community,” he added.
The ability to administer
the tax affectively, as well
as provide basic services to
the community would be
inhibited.
Council also fears that
the passage of HB 5 could
lead to state centralized collection of municipal tax.
Furthermore, the bill
only slightly addresses the
issue of uniformity, which
most jurisdictions support
already.
The restrictions placed
on municipalities in auditing returns or making
assessments is arguably the
sole purpose of the bill, as it
is costly, restrictive and
cumbersome qualities resonate in the council and
their municipal partners.
Special Response Training
About 40 officers participated in special response
training on April 2 and 4
from the Ohio Highway
Patrol.
The classes, held at
Springfield High School
over spring break, consisted
of how to respond to situations at a school or other
multi-unit structure whenthere are multiple armed
suspects or a single shooter.
“We want to have them
trained the best we can so
we can survive the outcome,” Holland Police
Chief
Robert
Reid
explained.
Soap bullets were used
in the training, and tactics
focused on clearing rooms
and eliminating any threats.
Since the Columbine
High School shooting in the
1990s training has become
progressively more active,
said Mayor Yunker, noting
that the goal is to minimize
casualties and injuries.
“If a Newtown incident
comes here and hopefully it
doesn’t, but if it does, we’ll
be a step ahead,” he added.
The training also included education in medical care
with emphasis on how to
treat victims prior to EMS
personnel receiving clear-
Uniformity in municipal income taxes

more uniformity in municipal income taxes.
The items also accomplish revenue neutrality for local government.

credit limitations.
5. Unreimbursed Business Expenses
Unreimbursed employee expenses will
not be permitted as a deduction on the
municipal income tax return.
6. Extension Requests

return. The tax administrator will have the
ability upon the return of the extended
return to deny such an extension should a
delinquency exist on the taxpayer account.
7. 12-Day Rule
Will remain a 12-day rule, however language shall be extended to include the definition of a “day” as the location at which the
“preponderance” of the employees day,
when working in multiple jurisdictions.

Chance
All municipalities would tax lottery, gambling, games of chance by the jurisdiction in
which the player purchased/won. Winner

taxes to the resident city.
12. Minimum Age for Earned Wages
No age limits for qualifying wages
earned.
13. Domicile
Domicile for purposes of municipal
income tax will be defined, using IRS standards of “intent to return” with clarification.

A three member panel comprised of citizen-appointees who are domiciled within
the municipality, and may not be employees
of the municipal jurisdiction.
15. Website Information Requirements
The municipality shall post on their Web
site (or the state’s site if the municipality
does not maintain a Web site) the section of
the ORC 718 which explains a taxpayers
right to appeal a decision of the tax administrator. Also posted will be the ordinance,
rules and regulations, and tax forms for the
municipality. The site shall state that a
generic format will be accepted for the filing
of any return with the municipality.
16. Rental Property Reported by Individuals
Reporting will be based on property location; common expenses will be allocated to
the property where it is located and based
on gross receipts allocated to multiple jurisdictions.
17. Reporting by Realtors

in the case of death or divorce.
21. Statute of Limitations
Language will be drafted to permit the
freezing or tolling of the statute of limitations

balance due or for the filing of a return
through the duration of an appeals or legal
or judicial process.
ance to enter the structure.
Lessons similar to these
are taught in the military,
said Chief Reed.
Municipal Income
Tax Refund
Village council agreed to
refund the state $4,600 in
municipal income tax for
2011.
Nearly $30,000 has been
refunded to the state to date,
said Mayor Yunker, adding
that the village has no way
to determine whether the
state’s refund figures are
accurate.
Councilman Noah Stone
compared the state’s refund
system to “playing a game
as a child and making up
the rules as you go to make
it better for you.”
Councilor Elaine Olsen
questioned whether the village would see additional
refund requests from the
state.
Mayor Yunker said more
refunds could be forthcoming, adding that the village
has no choice but to refund
the money.
Other Business
In other business, council:
• Approved the purchase
of an Ex-Mark lawn mower
from Fred Ott Incorporated.
The mower replaces a
current mower, which is 12
years old and has maintenance issues.
The Ex-Mark is $13,567,
but a $2,000 trade-in
allowance brings the cost to
just under the $12,000 budget, explained Bob Simpson, maintenance supervisor.
The fuel-injected mower
features a higher horsepower than the current unit, and
an economy switch, saving
fuel and energy, he added.
The new mower, which
comes with a two-year warranty, will be used in village
parks and municipal
grounds.
•Heard from Clerk/ Treasurer Lyn Krasula that the
Ohio auditor’s office will
begin auditing village
accounts on April 15, about
three or four months earlier
than usual.
•Learned that the Easter
Egg Hunt sponsored by
Holland Free Methodist
Church was a success.
In addition to the hunt,
participants enjoyed hot
dogs, popcorn and prizes.
•Paid bills totaling
$50,726.
The next council meeting
will be at 7:30 p.m., Tuesday, April 16 in council
chambers, 1245 Clarion
Avenue, Holland, and is
open to the public.

Owens CC announces layoffs
and organizational changes
Facing a $7.5 million
deficit in the 2013-14 school
year, Owens Community
College has announced layoffs and cutbacks for administrative staff.
“We have worked to
reduce expenses and manage
this shortfall, but the deficit
is significant and positions
will be impacted,” Owens
President Mike Bower said.
“We are faced with very difficult decisions that are necessary to maintain the mission of the college, which is
to serve our students.”
Due to this shortfall, contracts for approximately 30
administrative staff members
will not be renewed as of
June 30. These individuals
will be eligible to apply for
open positions within the
college.
An additional 30 administrative staff members will
likely be reassigned or have
their contracts modified, and
positions within other
employee groups continue to
be under review.
Owens will continue to
proactively realize cost savings through the elimination
of vacant positions, retirement and attrition, President
Bower added. These efforts
have already resulted in an
estimated reduction of 127
positions since 2011.
The layoffs and reductions are one of many actions
the college is taking to bridge
the deficit, the president said.

Rudolph/Libbe named Corporate Citizen of the Year
From the University of
Toledo’s Ritter Planetarium
to the Islamic mosque, Penta
Career Center to Bass Pro
Shops, and the Town Center
at Levis Commons to Hollywood Casino, one local company has been there from the
ground up.
The company that constructed all of these notable
buildings–Rudolph/Libbe
Inc.–was honored on March
20 as the Corporate Citizen of
the Year at the annual dinner
of the Wood County Economic Development Commission (WCEDC).
The 20th annual event was
attended by more than 500
elected officials, business
owners and community leaders from the greater Toledo
area.
Wood County Commissioner Jim Carter announced
the honor, explaining “this
company has employed generations of families and today
1,200 people are employed
there.”
Mr. Carter presented the
award to Bill Rudolph, chairman, and Phil Rudolph Jr.,
vice president of business
development, of the company
founded in 1955.
“We’re very honored and
humbled to be selected,” Bill
Rudolph said.
With the national company’s headquarters located on
Latcha Road in Lake Township, Mr. Rudolph is often
questioned “why here?”
about their rural location.
Displaying a map of the
neighborhood, he explained
that the house at the end of
the driveway was owned by
his parents Fritz and Marilyn
Rudolph–where he grew up.
Nearby is the home of
John and Verna Rudolph, his
grandparents; E.C. and Mary
Rudolph, his great-grandpar-

ents, and across the street is
the home of Charles and
Sarah Rudolph, who emigrated from Germany.
The Rudolph/Libbe chairman presented a slide show
of photos including the family’s original homestead built
in 1862, his grandfather during harvest season in the
1920s and a Rudolph Dairy
truck.
Noting that his ancestors
were raised on a farm “with
the work ethic that goes with
it,” he said, “they were dedicated to hard work, respect
and integrity.
Phil Rudolph Sr. and Fritz
Rudolph with their cousin
Allan Libbe grew up to found
the company.
“Those values were
instilled in our founders at a
very early age as they worked
on the farm and in the dairy,”
he said.
Phil Rudolph Sr. flew
more than 100 combat missions during the Korean War.
Allan Libbe served in the
Army as well and graduated
from Bowling Green State
University.
Fritz Rudolph, who also
attended BGSU, was working
at a local construction company, helping to build the turnpike bridge at Tracy Road.
The company gave him
the leftover lumber, which the
three men loaded up and
stored in a family barn.
“Then they used it to start
building
houses,” Mr.
Rudolph explained.
In 1956, the young company built the Bowling Green
post office, and in 1957 constructed the Perrysburg fire
station. They went on to build
more than 500 projects in
Wood County alone.
Among those are campus
buildings at UT, BGSU and
Owens Community College;
the new Penta Career Center
and Lake High School; the
Islamic Center of Greater
Toledo and All Saints Church
in Rossford.
Rudolph/Libbe Inc. also is
responsible for the construction of many major corporate
buildings, such as JonesHamilton, First Solar, Walgreens distribution center, the
North Star steel mill in Delta
and most recently, the Husky
Refinery in Lima.
Mr. Rudolph credited the
success of the company to its
many fine employees.
He also thanked the business officials and community
leaders attending the
WCEDC dinner.
“There are many wonderful businesses and organizations in Wood County,” Mr.
Rudolph said. “These are our
partners, and we’ve had an
opportunity to grow with
them.”

at Blessed Sacrament hall
The
Polish-American
Community of Toledo
(PACT) is holding its third
annual Kielbasa Cook-off
on Saturday, April 13.
The event, open to the
public, will take place from
1 to 6 p.m., at the Blessed
Sacrament Church hall,
Bellevue Road, Toledo.
The cook-off features
homemade kielbasa from
old family recipes.
Amateur kielbasa makers
from across the area will
compete for the title of
“Toledo’s Kielbasa King or
Queen.”
The public is invited to
sample the recipes and then
vote for their favorites.
Last year 12 contestants
battled for the bragging
rights of creating the best
homemade kielbasa, and
Shawn Zaborksi’s Polish
Village kielbasa received
the most votes.
No commercial entries
are part of the cook-off.
The Andersons recycling event set for April
The Andersons, Inc. will
host an electronics recycling
and document destruction
event on Saturday, April 13,
at its Maumee Store, 530
Illinois Avenue at Ford
Street, and on Saturday,
from 12:30 to 2 p.m., with a
lunch break from 11:30 to
12:30 p.m.
The workshop will be led
by Dr. Lisa Pescara-Kovach
of the University of Toledo.
CEU’s are available for social
workers, counselors and
nurses.
To register, call Lorri Esper
at 419-725-7042 or send an email to lesper@areaofficeon
aging.com.

•Electronic games, cameras and typewriters,
•Microwaves, cash registers, time clocks, PDAs.
A $5 donation is requested to help defray expenses.
No TVs, air conditioners
or appliances, paint, fluorescent bulbs or alkaline batteries can be accepted.
All of the electronic
items collected will be recycled and disposed of in an
environmentally responsible
manner, keeping them out of
landfills. About 70 percent
of the heavy metals found in
landfills come from electronic equipment. Each computer contains on average
four to eight pounds of lead.
Consumer
electronics
comprise 40 percent of the
lead found in landfills.
“People in northwest
Ohio and southeast Michigan are very proud of their
ethnic heritage,” said Jack
Sparagowski, PACT board
member.
“Many families have
their own secret recipes that
have been handed down
from generation to generation, and that’s what people
will taste from each and
every contestant at this
event. That’s what makes
this cook-off so special.”
In addition to kielbasa,
there also will be beer,
sweet and sour cabbage,
coffee cake and other Polish
delicacies.
Admission is $5 per person and $3 for PACT members.
Music will be provided
by Billy P.
Proceeds from the event
support PACT’s scholarship
fund and other charitable
donations, as well as a fund
for the eventual development of a Polish Cultural
Center.
Entries are still welcome
for the cook-off.

Lakota is a 5-year-old
Labrador and German Shepherd mix. He is a large dog
weighing more than 77
pounds. His owners brought
him into the Toledo Area
Humane Society because he
was too large for them to
handle.
Lakota is a strong puller
when you try to walk him
on the leash. He needs an
owner who is willing to take control and teach him his limitations. Lakota is obedient when he is in the right hands and
mischievous if he is around a push over. Lakota is friendly,
playful, and gentle with children–if they can handle his large
size. He likes to be treated gently and respectfully. He does
not care for rough play, likes dogs that can handle his energy level, and has never been around cats.
Lakota knows some obedience commands like sit, stay
down, and come. He may need to get use to taking commands from a new owner so some refresher training may be
helpful. He has been neutered, examined by a TAHS staff
veterinarian, is current on his vaccinations, and is microchipped.

for adults who have lost a parent

will meet on Wednesdays,
May 8 to June 5, from 6 to
7:30 p.m., at Hospice of
Northwest Ohio’s Toledo
Center located at 800 South

The series is free and open
to any adult in the community, whether or not they have
had a prior relationship with
Hospice of Northwest Ohio.
Pre-registration is required.
For more information or
