The council passed six ordinances described in meeting materials as exempting certain improvements from ad valorem real property taxation and establishing service-payment frameworks (ordinances 01-2025, 02-2025, 03-2025 and 04-2025). Each was adopted as an emergency and carried on unanimous 6-0 votes. The ordinance texts in the meeting record reference Ohio Revised Code sections in the 5709 series; parcel-level details were not specified in the transcript.

Council also approved ordinance 05-2025, authorizing the mayor to enter an agreement with Formtek Incorporated to provide tax incentives under the Twinsburg Occupancy Program; that ordinance passed 6-0 on regular reading. The transcript does not list the terms of the Formtek agreement beyond the ordinance title.

For infrastructure work, council suspended the three-reading rule and adopted ordinance 18-2025 as an emergency to accept Parent Asphalt Company’s bid for the 2025 road improvement project. The council stated the contract amount as $1,950,000.00; the ordinance passed 6-0.

The council approved resolution 19-2025 to authorize continuous Internet auctions of surplus personal property under Revised Code section 721.15. Councilmembers said the continuous auction approach lets items move to auction without waiting months for council action; the resolution passed 6-0 as an emergency.

Council also extended a moratorium on accepting or issuing occupancy permits that would enable cultivation, processing, distribution or sale of recreational marijuana for an additional period not to exceed three months (ordinance 20-2025). The item was placed on third and final reading because the existing moratorium was set to expire on Feb. 13; council members said no entity had recently applied for cultivation permits and the ordinance passed 6-0 as an emergency.

On non-ordinance business, council voted 6-0 to approve a motion not to oppose transfer of a liquor permit from Twinsburg Entertainment LLC (Basement units A, B and C and patio) to Twinsburg Pub, LLC (doing business as Basement Sports Bar and Grill). The clerk was authorized to submit the transfer form to the Ohio Division of Liquor Control.

After completing business, council voted 6-0 to enter executive session to discuss personnel matters, pending litigation and to consult with counsel.

Discussion vs. formal action

Most passage votes were routine and carried unanimously; limited substantive discussion recorded in the transcript concerned the reason for suspending three-reading rules (to expedite road work and to prevent expiration of the moratorium) and procedural clarifications about continuous Internet auctions. Details such as parcel identifiers, the Formtek agreement terms, and the full inventory for auctions were not included in the meeting record presented.

“Between 10–15% and it’s gonna last for some time,” Mayor Post said, describing projections published by PJM Interconnection, the regional grid operator. He said the rise translates to about a 2-cent increase per kilowatt-hour and that the change is affecting multiple states in PJM’s footprint, not just residents in NOPEC-served communities. He advised that switching retail electricity providers is unlikely to avoid the increase because the pressure is regional and affects all suppliers.

Post said the city will monitor the situation and work with NOPEC and vendors to determine what, if anything, the city can do. He told residents that City Hall staff will be prepared to answer incoming calls about bills and that the administration would make sure phone staff are well-versed on the situation.

A council member also spoke after the mayor and recommended that residents seeking fixed-price plans consult the Public Utilities Commission of Ohio’s comparison tools to evaluate fixed versus variable offers. That councilmember recommended fixed pricing rather than variable contracts during a period of rising prices and cited sample rates available at the time of the meeting.

The mayor’s comments were framed as a heads-up to residents; council members pointed to available consumer tools and said the city would track developments with regional grid operators and local aggregators.","At the Feb. 11 council meeting Mayor Post told residents to expect 10–15% increases in electricity costs over several years because of capacity pressures in the PJM Interconnection footprint and said switching providers is unlikely to help.",{"_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},6331559,"Environmental commission announces joint Earth Day–Arbor Day event, composting options and a new ‘Good Neighbor’ award",267,148000,415000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2310486-f4a7b4682d1922fbf68be5dc603cf793&start=148&end=415","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2310486-f4a7b4682d1922fbf68be5dc603cf793/thumbnail_148000.jpg","/articles/6331559/Ohio/Environmental-commission-announces-joint-Earth-DayArbor-Day-event-composting-options-and-a-new-Good-Neighbor-award","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6331559-4ac040e004536352311b1d7d60b83537/orig.mp4?Expires=1776326214&Signature=g3RFMkwihohb3XmBY8VVLcyUp1JyvHsLyuu0g8j24we092lIvqpgwrA0SAYPg4tjqvSDxfOjX7WitYWMrygBzKdMb1PQobHGCxlDrSBREZrz5HEW0cs7qlMYTjpi3upTExhxFxS2VPwSrPiVtZNAkYQUW6JUOBGUF5QKZQ8TJhSa0blEtytVYxV8-rJxKYjBHMhRu5zII4K4E36LRZ3WiEg1pXjiq4sGtimki2nOgRbndWA13FbNHjUzH593nzr5KbvZ4wHMA7in1itIoDDufSM7f6FhcgOwghbelzHgt3UOX~T8IO6zkIVxnuJ3RkhrxXHLNCyvZdv99NGf3YGQEg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Resident Jonah Pachet, an Environmental Commission member, used council’s audience-participation period on Feb. 11 to summarize the commission’s recent meeting and planned activities.

Pachet said the commission held its first meeting since October and welcomed Councilman Post as the commission’s new council representative. He described a planned joint Earth Day–Arbor Day event scheduled for April 26 from 9 to 11 a.m. at the Community Center; the event will be a joint effort with the Parks and Recreation Department, the Twinsburg Native Habitat Association and Twinsburg High School. Pachet said commission members discussed composting and whether the city should offer a composting program; the commission paused the discussion but noted a nearby option for residents. He cited a Summit Metroparks post that Liberty Park Nature Center now accepts compost brought by residents via Rubber City Reuse Company.

Pachet said the commission is also planning a “Good Neighbor” environmental award to recognize residents who take notable local actions such as consistent litter pickup. He described plans to start with a single award this year and to develop nomination and selection procedures at upcoming meetings.

Council members present acknowledged the commission’s work. Mayor Post thanked Pachet and another council member said the commission’s meetings are well run and productive.

The Environmental Commission’s next meeting was announced at the council meeting as March 4 at 7 p.m.; Pachet said the commission will continue to refine event details and the award selection process at future meetings.","At the Feb. 11 Twinsburg City Council meeting, resident and Environmental Commission member Jonah Pachet reported on the commission’s work, including a joint Earth Day/Arbor Day event April 26, composting discussions and plans for a Good Neighbor environmental award.","actionData","errors"]
