  4. HB920 & HB66 “Effect” on Operating Revenue - Defined • The following slide depicts the impact on the operating revenue by Ohio General Assembly legislated acts – most notably HB920 & HB66. • In essence, the top “blue” line represents our total operating revenue projection and it is presented as “flat” due to the restricting characteristics of the before-mentioned legislation. • The Overall increase or rise in operating revenue in the early fiscal years of the line graph is the direct result of the passage of a 5.5 mill $4.808M operating levy in November 2003.

  6. HB66 Only “Effect” on Tangible Taxes Defined • The following graph visually depicts the impact of the recently enacted HB66 and the ultimate elimination of the tangible personal property tax on businesses. These tax dollars represent $4.0M or 8% of the district’s operating revenue. • The “blue” line depicts the elimination of the tangible tax by 2010, while the “pink” line represents the State subsidy to offset this loss in revenue. • Further, the “pink” line or State subsidy is reduced and will ultimately reach zero by 2013, which means that the State does not permanently make up the $4.0M loss of our operating revenue from tangible taxes.
