Festivals of Sharonville threw a grand “party with a purpose” raising thousands of dollars for local non-profit organizations. The Sharonville Cultural Arts Center filled their theatre with activities for the whole family. Our Parks & Recreation Department made sure you had a cool pool to dip into on a hot summer day. Our new Gower Park shelters welcomed residents and guests for their summertime picnics and celebrations. The Sharonville Youth Organization filled our baseball and softball fields with young people learning the game. Road crews surrounded Sharonville replacing and repairing curbs, sidewalks and streets. Police and fire personnel insured your safety while enjoying community events like St. Michael’s annual community festival, Fourth-on-the-Loop and Touch-a-Truck. Our new city partner, Hamilton County Public Health, inspected all our city’s outdoor pools and made sure Sharonville food handlers (from the temporary to permanent) followed food safety procedures. I hope that you have found these and the many other services and opportunities your city, the city’s partners, businesses and non-profit groups provide exceeded your expectations. The start of a new season ushers in a whole new set of activity for Sharonville. This Hometown Guide is produced to share with you those many available opportunities for you, your families and your businesses. Festivals of Sharonville is branching out to offer a new event this fall at the Community Center’s Upper Grove. Kemper Field is filling up with eager kids kicking soccer balls. As our schools fill with children, Sharonville’s R(esident) A(ssistance) I(ntervention) N(urse) Jennifer Ely will be assisting with school nurse’s needs and local school health screenings. Hamilton County Public Health will be in town to provide flu shot clinics. People from across the region will be flooding our Convention Center, hotels and restaurants for their fall get-togethers. Candidates will be popping up with signs and leaflets to seek your support at the polling booths set up throughout the City in early November. There should be something in these next few pages to peek your interest and/or information to help you know your City better. I invite you to share your thoughts with me or any of your elected officials or City employees. I Sharonville isn’t just a slogan for a t-shirt. It is something the city’s employees, elected officials and I want you to feel about this community. Best wishes to you for a fantastic fall here in the City of Sharonville. Kevin M. Hardman Good Neighbor Award Do you have a Great Neighbor? – The City has a program to recognize individuals in the community who go “above and beyond.” The “Good Neighbor Award” seeks to identify and honor those people who embody the spirit of neighbors helping neighbors. This program strives to recognize those who are making a difference in our community and who do not typically seek or receive recognition for their efforts. Nominees must reside or work in the City of Sharonville. More information, including the nomination form, can be found on the City’s website at www.sharonville.org.

Hometown Guide fall 2015 3 TAX DEPARTMENT The City of Sharonville Tax Office staff will be happy to provide assistance. If you are in need of forms or have any questions regarding current year estimated payments, the filing of the annual City of Sharonville income tax return, prior year return(s) or employee withholding, please feel free to call or visit the Tax Office. Forms, including fill-in forms that assist in calculating the tax for you, are available on the Sharonville website at www.sharonville.org. The office is open Monday through Friday from 8:30 a.m. until 5:00 p.m. While no appointment is necessary, tax return preparation assistance will only be provided until 4:30 p.m. The location and mailing address of the Sharonville Tax Office is 11641 Chester Road, Sharonville, OH 45246. A drop box is also available for your convenience. Tax payments may be made through Official Payments either online or by phone at 1-800-487-4567. Official Payments does charge a nominal fee for this service which may be calculated using the fee calculator available. The City of Sharonville Tax Office continues to accept payments in person and by mail to provide taxpayers with cost effective tax payment options. Declaration of Estimated Taxes: • The remaining quarterly payments are due by October 31 and January 31 for individual taxpayers or the 15th day of the 6th, 9th and 12th months after the beginning of the taxable year for business taxpayers. • Estimated tax payments are required and penalties are assessed for insufficient declaration payments. Note: If at least 90% of a taxpayer’s tax liability is not paid by the 4th quarter due date, the difference between 90% of the tax liability and the amount of estimated tax paid on or before the 4th quarter due date shall be subject to the interest and penalty provisions of Section 171.10 of the City of Sharonville Income Tax Ordinance. Property Taxes • • 4 The collections of property taxes (whether it is for residential property or business property) are the responsibility of Hamilton County or Butler County. The City of Sharonville does not receive property tax dollars from city residents or businesses, and is proud that a municipal property tax has not been levied in over 30 years. For further information on the collection and payment of property taxes, please contact either the Hamilton County Auditor’s office at (513) 946-4000 or the Butler County Auditor’s office at (513) 887-3154. Links to these offices are available on the Sharonville website. City of Sharonville sharonville.org PUBLIC WORKS Reminders The City’s Truck Loan Program for 2015 ends on October 30th. This program helps residents keep their property clean and gives them the ability to dispose of unwanted items from their property. Please call 563-1177 for information or to reserve a truck. There is a nominal fee for the use of the truck. Curbside Brush and Special Pickup is a year round program unless it is snowing and we are treating the roads. Residents must call the Public Works office at 563-1177 before noon on Friday to have their name put on a list in order to have their items picked up the following week. Have the materials out for removal on Sunday evening of the requested service week. Public Works will come to your address one day of the service week to remove the materials. Twigs cannot be picked up; they are yard waste and must be disposed of with your regular trash collection. Disposal of refrigerators, freezers and other appliances that contain chlorofluorocarbon (CFC) refrigerants must have the CFC removed from the appliance by a Certified Technician and have documentation attached to the appliance verifying that the CFC has been safely removed. Rumpke will then pick up the appliance on your normal trash pickup day. Disposal of computers, televisions, fluorescent bulbs and hazardous waste cannot be placed at the curb for Rumpke trash collection. The Hamilton County and Butler County Recycling and Solid Waste Districts can help you with disposal of electronic and hazardous waste items for homeowners ONLY. Fluorescent bulbs can be taken to hardware stores (Home Depot, Lowe’s, Menard’s) for proper disposal. For more information on Recycling and the disposing of Computers, Televisions and Hazardous Waste Materials: Hamilton County residents: Call 513-946-7766 or visit: hamiltoncountyrecycles.org Butler County residents: Call 513-887-3653 or visit: butlercountyrecycles.org Fall Season There is no leaf pick up program in the City of Sharonville – raking leaves into the street gutters is not permitted. Raking leaves into the gutter will cause catch basins to back up and flood streets. Please rake and bag leaves for pick up and disposal with Rumpke on your trash days. (Remember Rumpke has a 10 item limit) If you have a storm culvert that runs along your property line or under your driveway, please remember that it is the homeowner’s responsibility to keep these culverts and the inlets clear of leaves and debris. Clogged culverts affect drainage upstream and flooding on roadways and surrounding areas. Winter Season Winter snow and ice will be here soon. There are a few guidelines that residents can follow that will help our department maintain our roads in the best condition possible: • During a snowstorm, please do NOT park vehicles on the street, if possible. • The Public Works crew has very limited time to remove the snow in a major snowstorm and cars parked on the street create additional obstacles and restrict visibility. Parking your vehicle in your driveway allows for a more complete clearing of your street. Wherever practical, we will attempt to keep the snow build-up to a minimum. Unfortunately, due to limitations of time and manpower, we will not be able to remove plowed snow from in front of driveways. Ultimately, this is the responsibility of the homeowner. Please shovel snow responsibly, by not shoveling your snow into the roadway. • Older residents and those with health problems are reminded to avoid the extreme physical activity associated with shoveling snow. • Stay at least two car lengths behind a snow plow for every 10 mph you are traveling. Never cut in between a caravan of plows clearing a road. • Beware of “black ice” (roads that look wet but actually are glazed with ice). Ramps and bridges freeze first. As a result of winter snow, ice and salt comes the inevitable appearance of potholes and other unsafe conditions. Please notify Public Works of any curb, street, sidewalk or storm drainage problems in the City. The Public Works Department will attempt to correct the safety problems in a timely manner. Golden View Acres Golden View Acres is a Senior Citizen Retirement Village. This 52 unit apartment complex is located on Greensfelder Lane off Thornview Drive. In order to be eligible for tenancy, a person must be at least 57 years of age and a Sharonville resident for at least one year; or be a parent, grandparent, brother or sister of a Sharonville resident who has resided in the City for one year. Golden View Acres has both first and second floor units and one and two bedroom apartments. Each apartment has an equipped kitchen with stove and refrigerator, gas heat, hot water, and air conditioning. Tenants pay their own utilities except water. There are coin operated laundry facilities in each of the three buildings. When renting an apartment an initial security deposit equaling one month’s rent is required. After signing the lease, THE RENT WILL NOT BE RAISED unless an additional tenant occupies the same apartment or the current tenant moves to another apartment in the complex. At that time, a new rental agreement is required to be signed at the current rate. To be placed on a WAITING LIST to rent an apartment, written application must be made and a $50 fee deposited. This fee is refundable when you rent an apartment or request, in writing, to be removed from the Waiting List. Hometown Guide fall 2015 5 POLICE DEPARTMENT Crime Mapping - RAIDS Online Last summer, the Sharonville Police Department introduced an online crime mapping program to visualize crime data for the public in an ongoing effort to strengthen community and law enforcement ties. We have received a lot of positive feedback and will continue with this transparency; however, we have changed service providers and are now using BAIR Analytics RAIDS Online. Although crime mapping programs are free for the public to use, the optional law enforcement analytical function requires the police department to pay an annual fee. Like any good consumer, we are constantly looking for the best option that fits our needs and budget. Crime analysis works best with data from surrounding communities. We decided to switch to BAIR Analytics RAIDS Online because it is a regional crime analysis and data sharing program allowing us to use information from neighboring communities to determine crime series and patterns, which we could not do with the previous service provider. RAIDS Online is the crime mapping component that allows the public to view reported criminal activity. For those who are familiar with our previous crime mapping program, RAIDS Online is very similar to use. For those who are not familiar, it’s really very simple. The map can be viewed from the city’s website at www.sharonville.org , www.raidsonline.com or download the RAIDS Online app for your smart phone or tablet. You can sign up to receive crime alerts to your email by clicking the “sign up for crime alerts” button; you determine how often and when you receive the alerts. If you have questions on how to use the map, there is a help button that provides tutorials for all the different features. If you have any questions about the program, contact Officer Cheryl Price at 513.563.1147 or cprice@cityofsharonville.com. Catalytic Converter Theft All vehicles manufactured after 1974 must have a catalytic converter as part of the exhaust system. It is an emissions-control device that contains precious metals that act as catalysts. The catalytic converter renders toxic gases into less harmful emissions. Catalytic converters, along with copper and other metals, continue to be a hot commodity for thieves. Catalytic converter theft has become popular because of their value, relative ease to steal, and their lack of identifying markings. The lack of identification makes it difficult to identify victims and to successfully apprehend and prosecute criminals. Thieves look for vehicles parked for prolonged periods of time in large lots, such as shopping centers, mass transit commuter lots or company parking lots. Converter thefts can also occur in your driveway or on the street in front of your house. Trucks, pick-ups and SUVs are particularly vulnerable to catalytic converter theft because thieves can slide underneath without having to jack up the vehicle to gain access to the converter. With just a few cuts of a battery-powered saw, the converter can be stolen in less than a minute. Please report any suspicious activity you may observe. These thefts occur at all hours of the day and any day of the week. Here are some tips to help prevent catalytic converter theft: • Always park in well-lit areas; • At shopping centers and other similar parking lots, park close to the entrance of the building or near the access road where there’s a lot of traffic; Engrave your license plate number on the converter to make it traceable; • • Check out different types of catalytic converter theft deterrent systems at your local auto parts store, online or your local muffler shop. 6 City of Sharonville sharonville.org Ohio’s School Bus Law It’s that time of year when the big yellow school buses are back on the road. School buses and motorists have been a part of the morning and afternoon landscape for five generations. School buses have been around since 1915; and since then, there has been an uneasy co-existence between the school bus and the motorist. For some, that uneasy co-existence is a result of not knowing when to stop for a school bus or when it is ok to continue past. Hopefully the information below will help clarify the Ohio school bus law to create a more peaceful co-existence and keep our school aged children safer! Scenario 1 – You are traveling on a two- or three-lane road • Approaching the bus from the rear: When you see flashing red or amber warning lights, you are not permitted to pass the school bus and should be prepared to stop. Stop behind the school bus when the school bus stops and the stop arm is extended. Stop no closer than 10 feet from the rear of the bus, and remain stopped until the stop arm is retracted and school bus starts moving again. Proceed with caution. • Meeting the bus from the front: When you see amber warning lights flashing you must slow your vehicle and be prepared to stop when the lights turn red. Stop no closer than 10 feet in front of the school bus when the school bus stops and its stop arm is extended. Remain stopped until the stop arm is retracted. Proceed with caution. Scenario 2 – You are traveling on a road with two or more lanes in each direction • Approaching the bus from the rear: When approaching from the rear, the rules are the same as for a two- or threelane road. When you see flashing red or amber warning lights, you are not permitted to pass the school bus and should be prepared to stop. Stop behind the school bus when the school bus stops and its stop arm is extended. Stop no closer than 10 feet from the rear of the bus, and remain stopped until the stop arm is retracted and school bus starts moving again. Proceed with caution. • Meeting the bus from the front: When meeting the bus in one of the opposite two lanes (or more), you do not need to stop, even if the bus has stopped with lights flashing and stop arm out. The bus is not permitted to load or unload children who must cross this type of roadway, unless there are official traffic control devices or law enforcement present. This is the only time you may pass a school bus that is stopped and has its stop arm extended. Hometown Guide fall 2015 7 FIRE DEPARTMENT National Fire Prevention Week Keep your family safe with a working smoke alarm in every bedroom. - Did you know that roughly half of home fire deaths result from fires reported between 11 p.m. and 7 a.m., when most people are asleep? Smoke alarms save lives. If there is a fire in your home, smoke spreads fast and you need smoke alarms to give you time to get out. In fact, having a working smoke alarm cuts the chances of dying in a reported fire in half! Fire Department Open Houses The Sharonville Fire Department is excited to be a part of National Fire Prevention Week from October 4th through10th. In support and awareness of this important week, the Sharonville Fire Department will be hosting Open Houses again this year for everyone in Sharonville and their families.

Getting your mammogram just got easier. October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month and the mobile mammography coach from Premier Health and Atrium Medical Center will be in Sharonville. The Sharonville Fire Department is excited to work with Premier Health to bring the Mobile Screening Mammogram Coach to the residents of Sharonville.

Holiday Tips from the Fire Department The kitchen is the heart of the home, especially at Thanksgiving. Kids love to be involved in holiday preparations. Safety in the kitchen is important, especially on Thanksgiving Day when there is a lot of activity and people at home. Don’t forget these useful tips for your gathering: • • • • • • • • • • Stay in the kitchen when you are cooking on the stove top so you can keep an eye on the food. Stay in the home when cooking your turkey and check on it frequently. Keep children away from the stove. The stove will be hot and kids should stay 3 feet away. Make sure kids stay away from hot food and liquids. The steam or splash from vegetables, gravy or coffee could cause serious burns. Keep the floor clear so you don’t trip over kids, toys, pocketbooks or bags. Keep knives out of the reach of children. Be sure electric cords from an electric knife, coffee maker, plate warmer or mixer are not dangling off the counter within easy reach of a child. Keep matches and utility lighters out of the reach of children — up high in a locked cabinet. Never leave children alone in room with a lit a candle. Make sure your smoke alarms are working. Test them by pushing the test button. Christmas Trees help to make your home a festive place. Remember these tree safety tips this holiday: • • • • • • • • • Choose a tree with fresh, green needles that do not fall off when touched. Before placing the tree in the stand, cut 2 inches from the base of the trunk. Make sure the tree is at least 3 feet away from any heat source, like fireplaces, radiators, candles, heat vents or lights. Make sure the tree is not blocking any exits from the home. Add water to the tree stand daily. Use lights that have the label of a recognized testing laboratory. Some lights are only for indoor or outdoor use. Replace any lights that have worn or broken cords and read the manufacturer’s instructions for how many strands may be connected together. Never use lit candles to decorate a tree of any kind live or artificial. Always turn off the tree lights before leaving home or going to bed.

In each workshop, the kids will be introduced to new concepts and then build models using bricks, gears, axles, motors and more to illustrate the concept.

Your kids have never had so much fun learning. Please note, our supplies are reused from class to class.
