Issue 17 and the Future of Moraine
In the last few Messengers, we’ve shared information about the 0.5% income tax measure, Issue 17, that will be appearing on
the November 6 Ballot. Issue 17 will replace the current 0.5% temporary income tax rate with a permanent 0.5% income tax
rate. This change from a temporary tax rate to permanent tax rate will not increase your current total income tax rate.
In previous Messengers, the City noted some important projects and purchases funded from the 0.5% temporary income tax. If
Issue 17 passes on November 6, additional projects which would benefit all Moraine residents could become reality. Working
from our current 5-year Capital Improvement Project plan, we would like to review some of the projects Issue 17 could help
fund.
Moraine has many well maintained facilities but even these facilities need improvements. Through 2022, the City is planning to
invest more the $2.2 million in our buildings. Most of this money will be spent at the Payne Recreation Center, Gerhardt Civic
Center, and the Police Division/City Hall for new roofs and HVAC systems. Funding improvements to the recreation spaces at
the Payne Recreation Center as well as the amenities at Wax Park and Deer Meadow Park are also being considered.
Public Safety funding remains a top priority. Issue 17 will help fund the replacement of 8 police cruisers and an ambulance
between now and 2023. Another $700,000 will update or replace the tools and equipment our First Responders need to keep
you safe. Issue 17 will also allow the Street Maintenance Division to invest more than $600,000 to replace 3 outdated dump
trucks and 4 old utility trucks; all with improved snow plowing capabilities.
Continuing street improvements is a key objective. Beginning with the Haverstick, German Village and West Moraine
Neighborhoods in 2020, the City has scheduled more than $2.4 million in local street resurfacing projects as well as concrete
and curb replacement through 2023. And beginning in 2019 and ending in 2022, more than $2.59 million in improvements on
Vance Road, Pinnacle Rd. (east of Main Street), and all of Dryden Road are being planned. The local funding for these project
would come from Issue 17.
We at City Hall appreciate and value your choosing to call the City of Moraine home. Because of that appreciation, City Council
submitted Issue 17; one that won’t increase your current total income tax rate if approved. If Issue 17 is approved on
November 6, the City of Moraine will continue investing your tax dollars into the projects, infrastructure, and equipment that
benefit everyone.
Please remember to vote November 6.
