Commissioner Dumas described a tense scene where multiple groups — residents, sheriff deputies, Evendale police and those identified as neo-Nazis — were “up close” and children were present on buses. Recounting public remarks at a subsequent town meeting, she asked rhetorically, “How many shots went off? None.” The commissioners said that an after-action convening will bring together the sheriff, the county prosecutor, municipal police (including Evendale), local school officials and other partners to review what happened, whether procedures could be improved and what follow-up is needed.

County Administrator Jeff Aludo said staff are compiling the questions the commissioners’ offices submitted and will coordinate responses with the involved agencies. Commissioners asked that the resulting materials be made available countywide so municipalities, school boards and residents can see the findings and recommended changes.

Commissioners had already scheduled a focused meeting to review the weekend’s events and asked county administrators to coordinate the agenda and agency responses.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Hamilton County Commissioners Regular Meetings 2/13/25","oneSentenceSummary","Following a weekend demonstration that placed extremist groups in proximity to residents and school buses, Hamilton County commissioners said Feb. 13 they will convene law enforcement, prosecutors and school officials to review the response and lessons learned.","taxTitle","Hamilton County, Ohio","taxId",2657,"location","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":76,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":77,"_41":78,"_43":79,"_45":80,"_47":81,"_49":82,"_51":83,"_53":84,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":85,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":86,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6330253,"Anderson Township officials highlight apartment projects, county partnerships and public-health cooperation",278,1278000,1556000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2314956-1814df6dec79e38369f678f4592dd4ca&start=1278&end=1556","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2314956-1814df6dec79e38369f678f4592dd4ca/thumbnail_1278000.jpg","/articles/6330253/Hamilton-County/Ohio/Anderson-Township-officials-highlight-apartment-projects-county-partnerships-and-public-health-cooperation","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6330253-c8e9eea5deb6208fed554b16e36b082b/orig.mp4?Expires=1773585795&Signature=nhSAmEx3iXYAmt49jagbHUtXHkMv5LLmIQfypBmc5xNLJ8w7HQcE3q6TBPWG1l4wP6yMy0b4~dtMUE2KOqkG9mb-~YKtS3JjEY5TrOUDdsiAXRslQUf~qXmi3jSwmTIUBHaLAHkkxkZ9cacxPkTQPraluE3zEMDAi5LTxzDXkJrC1zvXBXObZnWeLSEdncNAXp0UdcwedSXVlgunZWinoejt4Oz44r6Ym-o570FgF2Bhl4XOuoJqiTbJz5HjwW5TZpuUZ3MK4uVwvFDk7tTokyo3q6HuyKfGcmhkI8SKmtNU0SLl-vpNSs9bDMcwB7~T~5viZaFF9Is9WTrbkdpC3g__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Anderson Township officials briefed the Hamilton County Commission on Feb. 13 about recent private development in downtown Anderson and ongoing partnerships with county departments.

Vicki Earhart, Anderson Township administrator, told commissioners the township approved two Community Reinvestment Areas that enabled Vantage at Anderson Town Center, described as a 224-unit apartment development with 124 public parking spaces on its lowest parking-garage level, and SkyTop, a 361-unit apartment project near Beechmont Avenue. Earhart said both projects had spurred additional private investment along nearby commercial corridors: “We are also seeing development down there in that area of the township. For example, Wawa is going to be opening a new, gas station convenience store… and the current United Dairy Farmers… is going to be redeveloping as well.”

Earhart described a long-running county–township partnership that includes recycling grants (about $70,000 per year in recent years) and ADA ramps and sidewalk work totaling roughly $406,000. She said Anderson Township has contracted with the Hamilton County Sheriff’s Office for more than five decades and is in the final stages of an agreement to continue that contract for another three years; that agreement will return to the trustees and the county commissioners for approval.

On public health and emergency preparedness, Earhart said the township directed opioid-settlement payments to Hamilton County Public Health for harm-reduction work. Public health personnel have conducted point-of-dispensing training for township staff, and the township has a memorandum of understanding allowing the county health agency to use the township’s emergency operations center in the lower level of the facility as a backup.

Commissioners and county staff thanked the township for the long-standing collaboration and noted regular coordination with the county engineer on traffic and gateway improvements near the Five Mile and I-275 interchange, and flood planning ahead of anticipated river rises.

No formal county actions were taken on the projects at the Feb. 13 meeting; township officials said pending agreements and items — notably the sheriff contract extension — will come before the respective boards for formal approval.","Anderson Township leaders told the Hamilton County Commission on Feb. 13 about two recent apartment projects, parking and trail connections, and described ongoing county partnerships including recycling grants, ADA improvements, a sheriff contract and public-health agreements for emergency operations and opioid-settlement spending.",{"_33":88,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":89,"_41":90,"_43":91,"_45":92,"_47":93,"_49":94,"_51":95,"_53":96,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":97,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":98,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6330258,"Hamilton County commissioners pass resolution opposing state bill to sweep cannabis host fees",373,2879000,3252000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2314956-1814df6dec79e38369f678f4592dd4ca&start=2879&end=3252","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2314956-1814df6dec79e38369f678f4592dd4ca/thumbnail_2879000.jpg","/articles/6330258/Hamilton-County/Ohio/Hamilton-County-commissioners-pass-resolution-opposing-state-bill-to-sweep-cannabis-host-fees","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6330258-64fb5ed3276146db047cf9fdf9ad27bb/orig.mp4?Expires=1773585795&Signature=TQxEkMaYD06i~6PCLsmvi7PWpSabLJqOowJxB4RoMq6TcwKHBU4N6EQaPc8NxnSrkmgKPTeUhzP-6J8jUNh0U5mMFrXYBxIAJgoYyfI-45W687XsdD5ViL5iyJBBG6uNw2TxDIsLKA1K1uZ6Xy7-xjn~MizuIhUSmzWUzSW1chzZ5yEkEERnmhsGzyZPt0F3DlY9ot3FJBynWw5Lq~zV8zaw9rlekRZGouKGEr7qobT69f2zg~M5uN2XHnbpFbemPtBWDM2apDyvTjs-PVPW3Q0b~hiPXrAClI0eV6jJUQ1yKKIcyppcUqxj1rwzzqsdw1aHv58XM28Ehi4kwpx8ig__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Hamilton County commissioners voted unanimously Feb. 13 to approve a resolution opposing Senate Bill 56, a proposal that county leaders said would move local “host community” cannabis fees into the state general fund.

The resolution, introduced from the dais during the commission’s regular legislative meeting in Anderson Township, passed on a roll call with all three commissioners voting yes. Commissioner Treehouse made the motion and it was seconded from the dais; the roll call recorded Commissioners Driehaus, Commissioner Summer O'Dumas and Commissioner Reeves voting in favor.

The resolution opposes a provision described by speakers as removing the local host-community fee that would otherwise go to municipalities or townships that host adult-use cannabis businesses. Vicki Earhart, Anderson Township administrator, told commissioners that her township had approved three dispensaries and anticipated the host-community payments would generate “approximately 1 and a half million dollars a year in revenue.” She said the township planned to use the funds to reduce property-tax burdens for residents.

Commissioners and township officials said the proposed change would repeat what they described as a prior state practice after racino revenue: the state initially made local payments and later swept the revenue into state coffers. In discussion before the vote, commissioners said they would stand with host communities on preserving promised local revenue.

- Resolution opposing Senate Bill 56: Motion carried; roll call yes 3, no 0. (See actions for full record.)
- Consent agenda items 1–20 (see companion action below): Motion carried; roll call yes 3, no 0.

Background and context: Issue 2 — the adult-use cannabis ballot measure referenced by township speakers — included language that host communities would receive an excise or local fee. Township and county officials said that language informed local decisions to allow dispensaries and to plan capital or operating uses for the revenue. The commissioners’ resolution records opposition to a bill that would redirect that money to state-level accounts.","The Hamilton County Commission voted unanimously Feb. 13 in Anderson Township to oppose Senate Bill 56, which would redirect local host-community cannabis fees to the state general fund; commissioners cited promises to voters and potential local revenue losses.","actionData","errors"]
