Oakwood City Council has passed a resolution calling on its residents “to speak out” about a fire tax “inequity” for city taxpayers. The city “seeks the input, advice and direction of its taxpayers in its effort to address (the issue), as the city has no legal standing to contest the inequitable treatment of Oakwood taxpayers by Hall County,” states the resolution, approved late Monday by the council. “We will schedule a public information opportunity ... that will give taxpayers the opportunity to express their comments on that,” City Manager Stan Brown said Tuesday.
