ENERGY AGGREGATION UPDATE:Many cities, villages & townships in Ohio offer natural gas and electric aggregation programs to their residents and small businesses. If you receive an official governmental Opt-Out Aggregation notice in the mail from an entity other than Sharonville, please notify city offices or Jennifer Kist at The Utilities Group (513.481.7954 x103). In late September, West Chester Township erroneously mailed letters for its gas program to some Sharonville residents. Working together, Sharonville and West Chester officials were able to resolve the issue timely, and Sharonville participation was uninterrupted.

As a reminder, information regarding joining or renewing participation in Sharonville’s energy aggregation programs is sent to you via regular mail with the City of Sharonville logo clearly visible on the envelope. No door-to-door visits. Sharonville’s current natural gas aggregation program ends in June 2019; the electric aggregation program ends in December 2019. For more information, please contact Jennifer Kist at the number above.

Message from the MayorYearly, the Sharonville Chamber of Commerce invites the City of Sharonville to present on the State of the City. In November, City Economic Development Director Chris Xeil Lyons and I had the pleasure of doing just that. And I am proud to report to you - as I did to those business leaders of our community -- that our City is in an excellent state. Those who work in our City are experiencing some of the strongest years of earnings in recent times. As a result, the resources available to the City to serve you - the residents and businesses of Sharonville - are at levels unseen since over the last decade.

Coupling strong receipts with the economically-conservative leadership of your elected officials, we have spent two years in a row debt-free in our general fund. This has allowed the City to focus our attention on needed infrastructure modifications and long-term capital improvements. As we enter into 2019, the City looks forward to seeing these planned projects come to fruition. From the building of a new police station, renovating of a fire house, re-imagining of our city’s parks, modernizing of our city building’s administrative offices to the updating of our city’s master plan, the new year will be a busy, productive and promising one.

The Chamber invited several students from Princeton High School to this year’s event. These ambitious and eager young minds are the ones for whom we do this building, planning and restoration. As they grow and move to the next chapter of their lives, Sharonville wants them to see our City as THE place (like their parents and, for some, their grandparents) to live, work and play in their future. I am truly blessed to have had your support in leading this great City. It is my sincere hope that our city’s employees, your elected officials and I have and continue to provide you the ability to take pride in proclaiming that you are a part of the City of Sharonville. I wish for you all a very happy and joyous New Year! Kevin M. Hardman

This Cop Is Off Duty!With more than 35 years of service to the citizens of the City of Sharonville, Lt. John Cook will make his final radio call on January 18th, 2019. There is not enough room in the Hometown Guide to list all of the accomplishments and accolades John Cook has earned over the length of his career. Here are some highlights:

In 1964, John moved into Sharonville with his family and became a Princeton Viking where he graduated high school in 1979. He continued his education at Cincinnati State and University of Cincinnati majoring in Business. He was hired as an auxiliary police officer by the City of Sharonville and attended the Scarlet Oaks police academy in 1983.

He joined the United States Coast Guard Reserves and served from 1984-1988. In 1985, John was hired as a clerk/dispatcher at Sharonville PD until 1987 when he was hired as a Cincinnati Police officer.

But it was an early morning phone call in 1988 from then Chief Bill Nuss when John was given the opportunity to be hired by the Sharonville Police Department as a full time officer. He said yes faster than a speeding locomotive.

From there, his career path took this road: In 1991, John spent 15 months as an undercover narcotics agent with Drug Abuse Reduction Task Force leading up to his assignment as a detective in 1995. In In 1996, John was promoted to Sergeant and returned to the patrol division and was then promoted to Lieutenant in 1999 and became a shift commander.

In 2001, John was assigned as the Patrol Commander where he served as command staff until 2015. He then had a triumphant return to the road patrol division as the day shift commander. In August of 2018 he would return to command staff as the Patrol Commander where he would finish out his career.

During this whirlwind tenure, John was the Police Officer of the Year in 1989, 1992, 1994 and again in 1995 also receiving several Medals of Merit for his above and beyond service and dedication to the community and the Police Department.

Lt. John Cook, thank you sir. Congratulations for a job well done!

Filing Due Dates for 2019

why do i have to Pay eStimate PaymentS?

All federal, state, and local taxes are due during the year that income is earned. Most companies withhold federal and state taxes from your paychecks, but they may not withhold local income taxes, or may withhold less tax than our 1.5% rate. If a taxpayer reasonably expects to owe $200 or more due to not having at least 1.5% local tax withheld they need to make estimate payments or may be charged penalties.

If you owe less than $200 but still wish to make estimated payments please note this on your tax return.

Second quarter estimate payments are due by June 17, 2019. For your convenience a coupon was sent with your 2018 tax return. Invoices will be sent for the 3rd and 4th quarter payments which are due on September 16, 2019 and January 15, 2020.

Survey Says...Thank you to everyone who gave their feedback regarding the current and desired status for multi-use trails in Sharonville. Over the span of three months, after we published our survey in the summer edition of the Sharonville HomeTown Guide and advertised a Survey Monkey link of the survey on social media, we received 348 survey entries, which represented 693 adults and their dependent 299 children. This is 7.2% of the population in Sharonville.

We are excited to report residents enjoy walking in Sharonville! When residents aren’t driving their car, 67% percent of survey respondents say they prefer to walk. In fact, 46% of the survey respondents walk daily, and 83% of respondents walk at least once a week! Having convenient locations to walk or bike in Sharonville is important to 91% of survey respondents.

Results show that 36% of survey respondents believe that there is room for improving the convenience of walking, biking or running along trails in Sharonville. We are happy to report that 88% of survey respondents indicated that they would use dedicated multi-use recreation trails for walking, running or biking if made available in Sharonville.

The survey results will help the Community Development Department to improve the connectivity of Sharonville as we embark on the City of Sharonville 2030 Comprehensive Plan. Stay tuned for more information on an expansion of the Kemper Road multi-use trail!

FIRE DEPARTMENTCarbon monoxide SafetyCarbon monoxide is an odorless, colorless gas that can cause sudden illness and death. In our homes, some of our appliances such as furnaces, ranges and water heaters run on gas as opposed to electric. If not operating properly, any one of these appliances can cause carbon monoxide gas to build up inside our homes. Even fumes from our cars can build up in our home. Never let your car idle in the garage with the garage door closed.When exposed to carbon monoxide, the most common symptoms are: headache, dizziness, weakness, nausea, vomiting, chest pain and confusion. Low level exposure to carbon monoxide produces flu-like symptoms without the fever. High levels of carbon monoxide can cause loss of consciousness and death.

If you feel any of these symptoms and suspect carbon monoxide poisoning, leave your home or building immediately. When outside call the Fire Department and do not go back inside. The Fire Department will check the levels of carbon monoxide in your home and let you know if it is safe to return inside. If you have gas-supplied appliances in your home, install a carbon monoxide detector. Have your gas-supplied appliances inspected annually by a qualified company. These small steps can save your and your family’s life. Carbon monoxide poisoning can happen anywhere gas has the ability to accumulate. Recently, carbon monoxide was the cause of death for three people at a hotel in North Carolina.Detailed information can be found on the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention website at www.cdc.gov/co
