Status: in_force

August 22, 1995 House Bill 99 - 121st General Assembly Each member of the legislative authority of a village shall have resided in the village one year immediately preceding the member's election, and shall be an elector of the village. No member of the legislative authority shall hold any other public office, be interested in any contract with the village, or hold employment with said village, except that such member may be a notary public, a member of the state militia, or a volunteer fireman of said village, provided that such member shall not receive any compensation for his services as a volunteer fireman of the village in addition to his regular compensation as a member of the legislative authority. Any member who ceases to possess any of such qualifications or who removes from the village shall forfeit the member's office. The purpose of establishing a one-year residency requirement in this section is to recognize that the state has a substantial and compelling interest in encouraging qualified candidacies for election to the office of member of the legislative authority of a village by ensuring that a candidate for such office has every opportunity to become knowledgeable with and concerned about the problems and needs of the area the candidate seeks to represent. In enacting this requirement, the general assembly finds that the one-year period is reasonably related to this purpose, while leaving unimpaired a person's right to travel, to vote, and to be a candidate for public office.

Necessary parties or their representatives are entitled to present evidence, examine and cross-examine witnesses, and comment on all evidence, including any affidavits presented to the board under this division. (D) At the hearing, any owner who signed the petition for annexation may appear and, after being sworn as provided by section 305.21 of the Revised Code, testify orally that the owner's signature was obtained by fraud, duress, misrepresentation, including any misrepresentation relating to the provision of municipal services to the territory proposed to be annexed, or undue influence.

To make this change, the village legislative authority shall pass, by a two-thirds vote, an ordinance or resolution proposing to make the change effective on the first day of January following the next regular municipal election at which the village clerk or village clerk-treasurer is to be elected. So that no election for the office of village clerk or village clerk-treasurer is held after the passage of the ordinance or resolution, the village legislative authority shall file a certified copy of the ordinance or resolution with the board of elections not less than one hundred twenty days before the day of the next succeeding municipal primary election at which candidates for the office of village clerk or village clerk-treasurer are to be nominated, or, in villages with a population of under two thousand in which no petition for a primary election is filed under section 3513.01 of the Revised Code or in villages in which no primary is held under section 3513.02 of the Revised Code, not less than one hundred twenty days before the next succeeding regular municipal election at which the village clerk or village clerk-treasurer is to be elected. (B) In addition to the circumstances described in division (A) of this section, when a vacancy exists in the office of village clerk or village clerk-treasurer, the village legislative authority may pass, by a two-thirds vote, an ordinance or resolution to combine the duties of the clerk and the treasurer into the appointed office of village fiscal officer. That change shall take effect on the effective date of the ordinance or resolution. (C) A village fiscal officer appointed under this section shall perform the duties provided by law for the village clerk and treasurer and any other duties consistent with the nature of the office that are provided for by municipal ordinance. (D) A village fiscal officer shall be appointed by the mayor of the village, but that appointment does not become effective until it is approved by a majority vote of the village legislative authority. The village fiscal officer need not be an elector of the village or reside in the village at the time of appointment; however, the fiscal officer shall become a resident of the village within six months after the appointment takes effect, unless an ordinance is passed approving the fiscal officer's residence outside of the village. The village fiscal officer may be removed without cause either by the mayor with the consent of a majority of the members of the village legislative authority or by a three-fourths vote of the village legislative authority with or without the consent of the mayor. (E) The legislative authority of a village that has a village fiscal officer may abolish that appointed office and return to an elected office of village clerk-treasurer by passing an ordinance or resolution by a two-thirds vote. If a vacancy exists in the office of village fiscal officer when this ordinance or resolution is passed, the abolition shall take effect on the effective date of the ordinance or resolution, and the mayor shall appoint a village clerk-treasurer to serve until the first day of April following the next regular municipal election at which a clerk-treasurer can be elected. So an election can be held, the village legislative authority shall file a certified copy of the ordinance or resolution with the board of elections not less than one hundred twenty days before the day of the next succeeding municipal primary election. If a vacancy does not exist in the office of village fiscal officer when the abolishing ordinance or resolution is passed, the village legislative authority shall certify a copy of the ordinance or resolution to the board of elections not less than one hundred twenty days before the day of the next succeeding municipal primary election.

(2) An election to discontinue filing consolidated tax returns under this section must be made on or before the fifteenth day of the fourth month of the year following the last year of a five-year consolidated tax return election period in effect under division (B)(1) of this section. The election to discontinue filing a consolidated tax return is binding for a five-year period beginning with the first taxable year of the election. (3) An election made under division (B)(1) or (2) of this section is binding on all members of the affiliated group of corporations subject to a municipal income tax. (4) When a taxpayer makes the election allowed under section 718.80 of the Revised Code, a valid election made by the taxpayer under division (B)(1) or (2) of section 718.06 of the Revised Code is binding upon the tax commissioner for the remainder of the five-year period. (5) When an election made under section 718.80 of the Revised Code is terminated, a valid election made under this section is binding upon the tax administrator for the remainder of the five-year period. (C) A taxpayer that is a member of an affiliated group of corporations that filed a consolidated federal income tax return for a taxable year shall file a consolidated tax return for that taxable year if the tax commissioner determines, by a preponderance of the evidence, that intercompany transactions have not been conducted at arm's length and that there has been a distortive shifting of income or expenses with regard to allocation of net profits to a municipal corporation. A taxpayer that is required to file a consolidated tax return for a taxable year shall file a consolidated tax return for all subsequent taxable years unless the taxpayer requests and receives written permission from the commissioner to file a separate return or a taxpayer has experienced a change in circumstances. (D) A taxpayer shall prepare a consolidated tax return in the same manner as is required under the United States department of treasury regulations that prescribe procedures for the preparation of the consolidated federal income tax return required to be filed by the common parent of the affiliated group of which the taxpayer is a member. (E)(1) Except as otherwise provided in divisions (E)(2), (3), and (4) of this section, corporations that file a consolidated tax return shall compute adjusted federal taxable income, as defined in section 718.81 of the Revised Code, by substituting "consolidated federal taxable income" for "federal taxable income" wherever "federal taxable income" appears in that division and by substituting "an affiliated group of corporation's" for "a C corporation's" wherever "a C corporation's" appears in that division. (2) No corporation filing a consolidated tax return shall make any adjustment otherwise required under division (B) of section 718.81 of the Revised Code to the extent that the item of income or deduction otherwise subject to the adjustment has been eliminated or consolidated in the computation of consolidated federal taxable income. (3) If the net profit or loss of a pass-through entity having at least eighty per cent of the value of its ownership interest owned or controlled, directly or indirectly, by an affiliated group of corporations is included in that affiliated group's consolidated federal taxable income for a taxable year, the corporation filing a consolidated tax return shall do one of the following with respect to that pass-through entity's net profit or loss for that taxable year: (a) Exclude the pass-through entity's net profit or loss from the consolidated federal taxable income of the affiliated group and, for the purpose of making the computations required in section 718.82 of the Revised Code, exclude the property, payroll, and gross receipts of the pass-through entity in the computation of the affiliated group's net profit sitused to a municipal corporation. If the entity's net profit or loss is so excluded, the entity shall be subject to taxation as a separate taxpayer on the basis of the entity's net profits that would otherwise be included in the consolidated federal taxable income of the affiliated group. (b) Include the pass-through entity's net profit or loss in the consolidated federal taxable income of the affiliated group and, for the purpose of making the computations required in section 718.82 of the Revised Code, include the property, payroll, and gross receipts of the pass-through entity in the computation of the affiliated group's net profit sitused to a municipal corporation. If the entity's net profit or loss is so included, the entity shall not be subject to taxation as a separate taxpayer on the basis of the entity's net profits that are included in the consolidated federal taxable income of the affiliated group. (4) If the net profit or loss of a pass-through entity having less than eighty per cent of the value of its ownership interest owned or controlled, directly or indirectly, by an affiliated group of corporations is included in that affiliated group's consolidated federal taxable income for a taxable year, all of the following shall apply: (a) The corporation filing the consolidated tax return shall exclude the pass-through entity's net profit or loss from the consolidated federal taxable income of the affiliated group and, for the purposes of making the computations required in section 718.82 of the Revised Code, exclude the property, payroll, and gross receipts of the pass-through entity in the computation of the affiliated group's net profit sitused to a municipal corporation; (b) The pass-through entity shall be subject to municipal income taxation as a separate taxpayer in accordance with sections 718.80 to 718.95 of the Revised Code on the basis of the entity's net profits that would otherwise be included in the consolidated federal taxable income of the affiliated group. (F) Corporations filing a consolidated tax return shall make the computations required under section 718.82 of the Revised Code by substituting "consolidated federal taxable income attributable to" for "net profit from" wherever "net profit from" appears in that section and by substituting "affiliated group of corporations" for "taxpayer" wherever "taxpayer" appears in that section. (G) Each corporation filing a consolidated tax return is jointly and severally liable for any tax, interest, penalties, fines, charges, or other amounts applicable under section 718.80 to 718.95 or Chapter 5703. of the Revised Code to the corporation, an affiliated group of which the corporation is a member for any portion of the taxable year, or any one or more members of such an affiliated group.

Status: in_force

October 9, 1963 Senate Bill 19 - 105th General Assembly After the passage of an ordinance under section 727.23 of the Revised Code, to proceed with a public improvement, the improvement may be constructed by force account, or a contract for the construction of the improvement shall be let in the manner provided by law, provided that in the event that the lowest and best bid for labor and materials for the public improvement exceeds the estimated cost for labor and materials as filed under section 727.12 of the Revised Code by fifteen per cent or more, then no contract shall be entered into until the legislative authority determines by a majority vote at a special meeting or its next regular meeting, after public hearing, that the improvement should be made. When the lowest and best bid will so exceed the estimated cost, the clerk of the legislative authority shall publish a notice once in a newspaper of general circulation in the municipal corporation specifying the time and place, not sooner than forty-eight hours following such notice, when owners of property to be assessed for the improvement shall be heard on the question of whether such improvement should be made. In the event that such hearing is to be held at a special meeting, the clerk of the legislative authority shall serve notice on each member of the legislative authority of a special meeting to be held at the time and place set forth in the notice of the hearing and the purpose of the special meeting. Such notice shall be served in the manner provided for the service of notice of special meetings of legislative authority. At the meeting for such hearing, or any adjournment thereof, the legislative authority shall, by a majority vote, determine whether or not the public improvement should be made. If the legislative authority determines that the improvement should be made, the improvement may be constructed by force account or a contract may be let for the construction of such public improvement to the lowest and best bidder. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this section, in the event that the improvement is being undertaken by the municipal corporation in cooperation with the government of the United States or the state or any department or agency thereof, or any political subdivision of this state, or any one or more of them, and under the statutes or the cooperative contract authorizing such improvement the municipal corporation is required to pay its share of the estimated cost of the improvement to another party to such contract prior to the advertising for construction bids, the legislative authority of the municipal corporation may, by majority vote, determine to dispense with any notice, hearing, and determination that might otherwise be required by this section prior to the entry into a construction contract; provided that, if after the actual cost of such improvement has been ascertained, the cost to the municipal corporation for labor and materials exceeds the estimated cost therefor as filed under section 727.12 of the Revised Code by fifteen per cent or more, then the assessments levied under section 727.25 of the Revised Code shall not exceed in the aggregate the estimated assessment adopted under section 727.23 of the Revised Code unless the legislative authority, by majority vote, determines that this shall be done after notice and hearing in the manner provided in this section. No subsequent change in the cost of the improvement shall affect the validity of the assessment proceedings taken under Chapter 727. of the Revised Code if the applicable provisions of this section have been complied with.
