Village of Waynesville requests release from fiscal emergency

Waynesville, OH. September 9, 2011.  In a meeting held September 8^th, the Financial Planning and Supervision Commission for the Village of Waynesville passed legislation asking the Auditor of State to perform the analysis necessary to remove the Village from fiscal emergency.    

Resolution 2011-01 of the Commission, cites the Village “has corrected and eliminated or has planned and is in the process of…correcting and eliminating all of the fiscal emergency conditions.”  The resolution further states “no new fiscal emergency conditions have occurred.”

The initial declaration was made April 15, 2008 when fund balance deficits totaled more than $530,000.  Original projections of Council and Village staff were to have positive balances in all funds within three to five years.  Chair of the Commission, Sharon Hanrahan, stated three-and-a-half years may not be a state record for a municipality getting itself out of fiscal emergency, “but it’s pretty darned close.” 

Finance Director Staci Morris expressed gratitude to the residents who helped with the passage of a Police Levy in 2008 and a 1% income tax in 2010.  Both measures were critical in the elimination of the fund deficits.  Mayor Earl J. Isaacs thanked Mrs. Morris, Village Manager Bruce Snell, and all of staff for their efforts in bringing the Village back to a solvent state.   

Fiscal emergency is a declaration made by the Auditor of State’s Office when a government agency is experiencing financial shortcomings as defined in Chapter 118 of the Ohio Revised Code.
