TIPP CITY - The recent passing of the levy gave Tipp City Board of Education members something to celebrate at the meeting on Monday, May 20 (someone even brought a cake).
“We would like to give a big thank you to the community. It was very close and that definitely sends a message,” Kronour said.
Tipp schools have recently made changes to their buildings in order to abide by the new conditions set in House Bill 264. The bill that allows the school to borrow funds temporarily from the state at no expense to the taxpayers. The bill calls for energy efficiency improvements to the school buildings, and to use those energy savings to pay for the improvements. The school board ended up saving approximately $69,120 in gas and electric costs, though the saving were only estimated at $24,896 in the beginning.

TIPP CITY — Due to cuts in state and local funding, Tipp Monroe Community Services (TMCS) has requested that the city allow them to stop paying rent. City council discussed this proposal at their May 20 study session.
Tipp City provides TMCS with $17,700 annually. The organization then pays $10,000 in rent to the city each year.
TCMS Executive Director Kathy Taylor asked council to consider eliminating their rent until the replacement levy goes on the ballot in 2016. Council will vote on the proposal at their next meeting. Most seemed in favor of waiving TMCS’ rent obligation.
