City Of Madeira

What City Of Madeira does

The City of Madeira, Ohio is a Council-Manager municipal government incorporated in 1910 and operating under a Charter adopted August 4, 1959, serving a residential community of 9,000+ residents in suburban Greater Cincinnati (Hamilton County). The city is led by an elected seven-member City Council and an appointed City Manager (Michael Norton-Smith, since January 1, 2023), with a Treasurer, Law Director, and Clerk of Council providing professional administration. Service delivery spans seven departments - Administration, Finance, Tax, Building & Zoning, Police, Public Works, and Recreation and Events - and is supported by intergovernmental partnerships including the Madeira Indian Hill Joint Fire District (joint fire services across 24 square miles since 1985) and an incoming transition to Greater Cincinnati Water Works (November 2025 through November 2027).

The city's technology footprint is centered on a unified municipal website and a stack of vendor-supplied operational platforms: the iWorq Citizen Portal handles building permits, zoning variance applications, block party requests, and solicitation permits; an electronic tax filing (e-file) system processes the 1% city earnings tax with automatic calculation of locality credits and carry-forwards; RecDesk manages recreation program registration and facility reservations; FLOCK Safety cameras provide automated license plate recognition for the Police Department; and an E-Notify subscription system delivers emergency alerts and city communications. Three physical locations serve residents: the Municipal Building at 7141 Miami Avenue (council chambers, administration, finance, tax, building & zoning, police), the Public Works facility at 7451 Dawson Road, and the Senior Center at Traditions at 7650 Camargo Road.

Revenue is generated primarily through a 1% city earnings tax (effective January 1, 2021 with a 0.6% allowable locality credit), building permit and zoning fees scaled to project cost, court fines and tickets, trash collection fees ($1 per extra garbage sticker), facility rentals, and intergovernmental revenue sharing. The 2026 overdue-tax interest rate is 9.0% annually (0.75% monthly). Customer segments are primarily residential (9,000+ residents across households and senior residents served by a Senior Commission), with a secondary local-business segment consisting of 150+ retail and service firms in the central business district along Miami, Euclid, Laurel, and Camargo roads. Recent notable capital and strategic actions include the $13.5 million McDonald Commons Park renovation (2023-2024), a 2026 Charter Modernization initiative, and a civil complaint filed February 6, 2026 to enforce public records in connection with the water-service transition.
