Hillsboro City Council set the city’s 2027 property tax levies and advanced a water line replacement project at its Oct. 15 meeting, according to the legislative notice posted by the clerk’s office.

Resolution 26-23, passed as an emergency measure, authorizes the city’s tax levies for the fiscal year beginning Jan. 1, 2027, as determined by the Highland County Budget Commission. The clerk’s office will certify the levies to the county auditor.

Council also authorized Safety and Service Director Shawn Adkins to enter into a contract with DLZ Ohio Inc. for design and engineering work on a water line replacement project. The clerk’s notice did not list a contract amount.

In another emergency resolution, council approved a Then and Now certificate from the city auditor and authorized a $40,886.75 payment to the Ohio Department of Transportation through the state treasurer, covering a scheduled installment on the city’s State Infrastructure Bank loan.

Council also gave Mayor Justin Harsha authority to enter into an access agreement allowing AECOM to conduct environmental work on city property on behalf of World Fuel Services, approved an easement agreement for city-owned property, and amended a 2025 resolution to correct a legal description in a prior property transfer.
