Civic issues
Topics getting the most attention in Fairfield public meetings, ranked by how frequently they come up.
2026 Budget Amendments
Council added about $4.5 million in spending for roads, utilities, and storm sewer repairs, including $125,000 for emergency storm sewer work.
Income Tax Office records and communication concerns
Residents, including pharmacist Michelle Sparto, report repeated erroneous notices about unfiled taxes and fear credit-report consequences. Mayor Miller promised a public remediation plan by the second meeting in June.
Rising road salt costs
Salt will cost $110.68 per ton this winter through the Butler County co-op — up about 15% from last year and nearly double the 2017 price, driven by fuel, mining and scarcity costs.
