Why are you running for this office and what would be your top priority if elected?

Jeff Dietrich: We have loved raising our family in Ft Mitchell, a city with two great schools. Our three daughters have attended Beechwood, seen many 4th of July Parades, and enjoyed the close-knit community that has supported them. My top priority, if elected, is to keep Ft. Mitchell a great city to raise a family.

Cities have benefited from federal funds to recover from the pandemic, but that one-time cash infusion is unlikely to happen again. What steps should be taken to ensure that the city remain on strong financial footing?

Dietrich: As an accountant, I understand the long term impact to city finances. I also understand we will need to budget carefully for replacing aging infrastructure. I believe we have to be good stewards of taxpayers money and plan for the present and future.

With the development at the former Drawbridge Inn site underway, what do you see as the role of council in assuring its success – not necessarily as a commercial endeavor – but as a community asset and destination?

Dietrich: We have to support businesses that want to come into our community, but it has to be beneficial to both the business and the City of Ft. Mitchell. As the chief financial officer of a local company, I have worked on many projects and know how important it is to have continuous communication to help ensure the development runs smoothly so that you can address issues as they arise.

Housing & Urban Development

What are the most significant infrastructure concerns in your city and what should be done to address them?

Dietrich: I believe the most significant infrastructure concerns for Ft. Mitchell are aging roads and water lines. Those need to be assessed regularly and replaced when needed. A great deal of aging infrastructure is buried underground and will require planning ahead to reduce the impact to citizens and businesses and to maintain quality of life.

Calls for regularly assessing and replacing aging roads and water lines, with advance planning to limit impacts on residents and businesses.

Councilmember Jeff Dietrich isn’t against the possible legislation.

“Hypothetically, I’m in favor of simplifying the system for our businesses in the city,” Dietrich said. It’s hard for me to say that I am opposed to any legislation that may come down the road without seeing what that legislation is.”

Council passed a majority motion to oppose any state legislation that would centralize occupational tax collection. Dietrich was the only vote against it.
