Nut graf: The council adopted three pieces of emergency legislation tied to the Smith annexation — establishing municipal services for the territory, setting buffer requirements, and consenting to the annexation — and also approved an emergency resolution allowing the director of public service and safety to sign an EMS agreement with Premier Health Partners and to accept the donation from UVMC. Council recorded votes by roll call; the resolutions were adopted following motions to suspend the rules and to adopt on emergency readings.

What the council approved:
- Resolution R82025: Establish municipal services for approximately 57.679 acres in Concord Township proposed for annexation (Smith Annexation); declared an emergency and adopted following motion to suspend rules. The council adopted the resolution by roll call; the clerk declared the resolution adopted.
- Resolution R92025: Establish buffer requirements for the territory proposed to be annexed; declared an emergency and adopted after a suspension of rules.
- Resolution R102025: Consent to the annexation of the 57.679-acre parcel in Concord Township to the City of Troy; declared an emergency and adopted.
- Resolution R112025: Authorize the director of public service and safety to enter into an agreement with Premier Health Partners to provide emergency medical services to the UVMC campus and to enter into a donation agreement with Upper Valley Medical Center to accept a $175,000 grant toward a Sprinter ambulance; declared an emergency and adopted.

Council also approved routine procedural motions such as excusing Councilmember Pierce and accepting the minutes of the February 3 meeting.

Ending: The measures were adopted with the emergency suspensions and roll-call votes recorded at the meeting. The council scheduled routine committee follow-up for other items mentioned in committee reports.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","City Council for 2/18/2025","oneSentenceSummary","Troy City Council voted on a set of related annexation measures for a 57.679-acre parcel in Concord Township (the Smith annexation) and approved an agreement authorizing the city to provide emergency medical services at the Upper Valley Medical Center campus and to accept a $175,000 donation to offset a Sprinter ambulance purchase.","taxTitle","Troy, Miami County, Ohio","taxId",53341,"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},6323668,"Troy issues citywide boil advisory after major water main break; tests show no contamination",1518,939000,2457000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2341987-c0191cf3e3626f26f05d378010706c41&start=939&end=2457","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2341987-c0191cf3e3626f26f05d378010706c41/thumbnail_939000.jpg","/articles/6323668/Troy/Miami-County/Ohio/Troy-issues-citywide-boil-advisory-after-major-water-main-break-tests-show-no-contamination","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6323668-4a8453061be9d231ae935f5460463590/orig.mp4?Expires=1773603931&Signature=XYNSNyf8f0zhDL9BAFJoFAyLQgSS8GdRT0dlwenW-vsfauYWJQxEVK5Lub2neFR-KlqTv6hGGU1DMTnZJtMyCfuLmzGHWKYdWmGFh2aSmTgiAZsEXzYdLP329h6ksOmpUeKCs9gOfKJ46KXTML07OjzD14TqAgt9zMVJkhnrB26g2-W3t0ZHAbAnm~Xc6TW1tdKdeAtZU5TC4vw8ueFQuMjQGKI~e~0KRlyqxb34ORNdnf9fYGhJtEF4VCt9TispeaDdbyu6pEnR1~3LL3SN9tzYElX9ofGz7LSRDzf1S6N~CWK9KRDCtfuQKXayU7lnY6uti6uVOIE4T-wNSIF8sQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Troy City officials described a multi-stage response after a major water main break outside the city’s water treatment plant forced crews to shut a remote valve and temporarily cut service to about 7,500 customers northeast of the river.

Director of Public Safety Mr. Titterington gave a detailed timeline of the incident during the council meeting, saying city staff discovered the break in the afternoon when SCADA alarms indicated a large drop in system pressure. Crews traced the affected 12-inch high-service line and, after working through dozens of valves, found the shutoff at Community Park at about 9:30 p.m. The superintendent repaired the split section of pipe by about 3:15 a.m., city staff said.

The city issued a boil-water advisory at about 6:30 p.m. the evening of the break, initially limited to the northeast side because only that area had depressurized to the 20-psi threshold that triggers the advisory. City staff later broadened the advisory to the whole city while monitoring tank levels and system pressure, Titterington said.

Nut graf: The advisory followed a prolonged repair and flushing effort; city officials said they took 54 water samples that required a minimum 24-hour incubation window. Tests on all samples showed no growth, and the city lifted the advisory once public-health criteria were met.

City staff described the repair as technically difficult because several large-diameter pipes exit the plant in the same area and multiple valves had to be exercised to isolate the break. The crew ultimately removed and replaced about 6 feet of 12-inch pipe where the radial split occurred and pumped the excavation clear before beginning repairs. Hydrants across town were flushed through Saturday to clear air and sediment stirred by the pressure change, the director said.

Titterington said the Environmental Protection Agency monitored the response and was prepared to deploy a mobile water unit if service outages exceeded 24 hours. He also said the EPA provided positive feedback on the city’s handling of the incident.

Council members asked several operational questions during the meeting. Councilmember Westfall asked whether any tests were positive; Titterington said none of the 54 samples showed contamination. Councilmember Whitten asked about the likely cause; staff cited a combination of pipe age and freeze-thaw shifting. Staff named several employees involved in the response, including water treatment plant superintendent Gary Evans, city engineer Jill Rhodes and assistant engineer Christy Butera.

City communication: Titterington acknowledged problems with one distribution method for the advisory, saying an autogenerated notification did not reach all intended destinations even though staff’s system showed the message was sent at 6:30 p.m. He described subsequent communications to high-volume water users, schools and event venues, coordination with Miami County Public Health and social-media and website updates. The city is reviewing its notification tools and the after-action notes from a staff debrief are being compiled.

Ending: Officials emphasized that the city followed EPA guidance and that laboratory results were clear; the council thanked utility crews and other staff for extended work on site. A formal after-action debrief will document lessons learned and potential improvements to the city’s notification systems.","A major water main break near the city’s treatment plant left about 7,500 customers without water, prompted a citywide boil-water advisory and a multiagency response.

Nut graf: The council did not take immediate action but staff said the request would be forwarded to the Planning Commission because it is a zoning matter; that referral begins the formal review process.

Shoemaker encouraged council to consider breed limits and nuisance controls. Council staff (the clerk) said they would forward the request to the city’s planning staff for review and placement on a future Planning Commission agenda.

Ending: No ordinance or formal vote took place at the meeting; the item will proceed through the Planning Commission, which will provide recommendations to council if it pursues zoning amendments.","A Troy resident asked the council to consider allowing backyard chickens.
