Powell City Council to place an income tax increase for infrastructure maintenance before Powell residents on the Nov. 6, 2018 ballot. The ballot measure proposes raising the income tax rate from 0.75 percent to 1.15 percent while increasing the credit from 0.25 percent to 0.50 percent for residents who pay taxes to the municipality in which they work. It would require City Council to allocate at least 25 percent of all income tax revenue to infrastructure maintenance and improvements.

In the fall, it’s not hard to find a pile of leaves somewhere that needs raking and clearing. In the City of Powell, leaves are collected free of charge by Rumpke during the fall season.

Leaves should be placed in paper yard waste bags or in receptacles marked with yard waste stickers and set curbside along with your regular trash, on Tuesday, the City’s trash collection day.
