\"Between the information we got from not only the victim's houses and their cameras and some other neighbors and our flock cameras, we were able to develop the and, identify the suspect's vehicle within 24 hours,\" Sergeant Adams said. He told council detectives had located and questioned a likely suspect and that charges would be filed.

Nut graf: Councilors and the police emphasized that timely reporting to dispatch, neighbors sharing footage and the presence of cloud-linked neighborhood cameras can materially improve investigators' ability to identify suspects. Adams urged residents to report incidents to 911/dispatch rather than only posting to social media so investigators have an official record and can gather evidence.

Sergeant Adams noted the Flock camera program has helped solve multiple crimes in the city and thanked council and staff for supporting the program. He said the recent case also yielded coordination with neighboring jurisdictions where the suspect vehicle had been linked to other thefts.

Ending: Council members praised the department\u0000s follow-up and reiterated advice to residents to watch for suspicious activity and report it promptly to dispatch while sharing any camera footage with investigators.

A city staff member told council the new flood maps, prepared by FEMA and under a state review process, will become effective April 23. The maps shift several areas of the city: some parcels currently in the 100-year floodplain would move to the 500-year floodplain, removing them from the higher-risk designation; other areas\u0000including parts of Rogers Park and sections along Dry Run\u0000would see increases in floodplain and floodway designations.

\"This is the new one. Yes. These will be effective in April,\" a city staff member said while showing the maps. The staff member emphasized the city is required to adopt the updated maps and that downstream effects include changes to flood insurance requirements for homeowners with mortgages.

Nut graf: The maps are federal products; the city must adopt an updated local ordinance to remain in compliance. Council members noted the maps will reduce floodplain status for some residents while expanding it for others, and asked for copies of the map details so residents can check specific parcels.

Council discussion and clarifications: Councilors asked whether adopting the ordinance constitutes adopting the maps themselves; staff responded the federal government controls the map product and that the ordinance updates city code to align with FEMA's effective maps. Several council members noted they and some residents will be removed from the higher-rated floodplain under the new maps, which the staff said could lower insurance costs for homeowners with mortgages. The staff also said certain areas already in a floodplain would be reclassified as floodway, which imposes stricter development limits.

Ending: The first reading was entered into the record and the staff said they would provide maps to council members and make them available to the public before the effective date.

","City staff showed updated FEMA floodplain maps that change which properties fall in the 100-year, floodway and 500-year zones; council entered the floodplain ordinance (Ordinance 2025-3) first reading into the record ahead of the maps' April 23 effective date.",{"_33":89,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":90,"_41":91,"_43":92,"_45":93,"_47":94,"_49":95,"_51":96,"_53":97,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":98,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":99,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6344982,"Council approves emergency tap-fee change, LEADS agreement and several routine items",154,1091000,1245000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2250000-52c1058548ebfaf406d32175036c724a&start=1091&end=1245","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2250000-52c1058548ebfaf406d32175036c724a/thumbnail_1091000.jpg","/articles/6344982/Ohio/Council-approves-emergency-tap-fee-change-LEADS-agreement-and-several-routine-items","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6344982-1a3c059e3038c88679d26ed00bce63a4/orig.mp4?Expires=1770749706&Signature=aCodymXm0USUnHeBdxkuBZnIir9LZQv5~oRM~8bvkFKsFdRYqOgXkTey7lwYXWOLQiGocYmIRs1KykCEJZx1fxMvVIE-VDO0NQ9h37gxt-7QxBsvvX361EOB5E~hA4W~4jn3N1~tKucMBam9U7VBT1Gdj6iLyYJEDz76ItiFG9nDIB5bhNzRloi-O25rlMLCKCTtRqggbxwWCE9EXRWOwBgMakg3jvqdAgTz~InWZuQLy2jBRp82-iA5fSrsjr-i9UjyTQjwqm-suBjdokkMRySOqTceLt1sjzor6MRH5EqBaRXjhuCTKOIAzKtx6ez2xmI8tP4K4bEj3u-CvmR9mA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The South Lebanon City Council voted on several ordinance and resolution items and routine actions during its meeting.

A majority of votes were unanimous. Council members approved Emergency Ordinance 2025-4, which amends Ordinance 2020146 to change residential tap-in fees for properties served through the South Lebanon water system. Council also approved Emergency Resolution 2025-3, an information-exchange agreement with the Warren County Sheriff's Office pertaining to use of LEADS. The council voted to approve invoices and minutes from recent meetings and appointed Lisa Feder as the city\u0000s representative to the Warren County Regional Planning Commission with Mary Anne as alternate.

Nut graf: These votes finalized short-term procedural and operational changes the city said are needed to align local fees and interagency data-sharing with existing county and federal processes. The tap-fee change responds to an increase in Moore County\u0000s tap fee that staff said had not been communicated to the city before it took effect. The LEADS agreement formalizes data-sharing with the county sheriff\u0000s office.

Details: For the tap-fee ordinance, city staff said the Moore County tap fee had risen after the city set its own related charge; the emergency ordinance updates the city\u0000s charge so that new service hook-ups reflect the county\u0000s current fee. Council voted to waive the two-reading rule on the emergency ordinance and to adopt by title only; recorded votes on the waiver and on final adoption were recorded as affirmative by the council membership present. For Resolution 2025-3, the council similarly moved to waive the two-reading rule and adopt by title only; that motion carried.

Other formal actions noted in the meeting record: approval of claims/invoices, approval of meeting minutes from November and December sessions, appointment of a representative and alternate to the Warren County Regional Planning Commission, and adoption of Ordinance 2025-1 (transient vendor regulations) on its second reading.

Ending: Councilors handled the votes without extended debate and moved on to staff and committee reports.

","At its meeting, the South Lebanon City Council unanimously approved an emergency ordinance adjusting residential tap-in fees, approved an information-exchange agreement with the Warren County Sheriff's Office, and passed a slate of routine motions including minutes, invoices and an appointment to the Warren County Regional Planning Commission.","actionData","errors"]
