The mayor and council described a naming contest run with sixth-grade students at Hudson Middle School; the winning name, chosen by the class, is the Hudson Hurricane. Council said staff took the vehicle to the school to unveil the wrap artwork. The mayor said the city purchased the street sweeper to gain faster on-demand service than previous contracted arrangements and that officials expect the vehicle to improve street and bike-lane cleanliness and ultimately generate cost savings over time.

Councilors also noted recent and upcoming ribbon cuttings: Couture Amor and the Lily Tea House held a recent ceremony for a combined business, and the Spice and Tea Exchange of Hudson has an official ribbon cutting scheduled. Councilor Byrd congratulated organizers and volunteers for a PTO pancake breakfast that the mayor said served about 2,300 people between 8:00 a.m. and noon that Saturday.

Councilors offered congratulations to Hudson High School athletics programs for recent postseason appearances, including the women's gymnastics team and the girls basketball team advancing to the Elite Eight.

City Manager Sheridan said the consultant and subcommittee have worked through scenarios and that the next subcommittee meeting will include the fire chief, two assistant chiefs and the EMS director to develop concrete options. Sheridan told council he expects to present recommended next steps to the full council in April after the subcommittee meetings.

Sheridan also corrected an erroneous figure posted by an external outlet: short-term improvements for Fire and EMS were $400,000, not $400,000,000 as one item had reported. He asked communications staff to correct the city website and confirmed the Fire Department stands ready to help residents with smoke-detector and carbon-monoxide checks.

Sheridan provided operational updates tied to stormwater and watershed studies: a Brandywine Creek study (area between College Street and the bridal school) will go out as an RFP later in the week, and the Tinkers Creek watershed study has two finalist consultants. Sheridan said he is awaiting an update from the county in March on a pump station in Brunswick. Councilors expressed interest in receiving a department briefing to supplement the study findings; Councilor Sutton asked that the chief or assistants appear before the full council after the subcommittee completes its drafting work.

No formal vote was taken; council directed staff to proceed with the subcommittee schedule and to bring a full-council briefing in April.","Council discussed the Fire & EMS study and the city manager said the next steps include a subcommittee meeting with department leadership and a plan to bring recommendations to the full council in April; manager also corrected a misreported figure for short-term improvements.",{"_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},6117467,"Resident Anthony Revita urges council to address fence-permit dispute, alleges record-keeping problems",369,267000,636000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2730285-85597b7ca52a248a78292f58799f67bf&start=267&end=636","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2730285-85597b7ca52a248a78292f58799f67bf/thumbnail_267000.jpg","/articles/6117467/Ohio/Resident-Anthony-Revita-urges-council-to-address-fence-permit-dispute-alleges-record-keeping-problems","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6117467-30a9810b13ce13bc32bc0dfeb2474a5c/orig.mp4?Expires=1771141274&Signature=HEz7odJf24hsZmL2wqWxlUFj-iMlZ~PldzEk5ooUa-GIC6rRfb8C1G-87qyT-214afKakC5a4xMc6mnOZB7cwbeu64WY4hAU6HfSxNOWeYJYV9Ya~W52crwe~W-07RD0TqeT3bBT8-XwH04y6PecFkvBcL5EeaC19rJLb6Rio8Y1R9uz5Lfjpl8QTK8CW~9~jfrP8Y8xpWsriWpadEXnrGeoeIWn~uxphcqssNBCAMwSd5knjlm9laL9GWJ3NtTujQJTCXsZGln098t-AYskNj1XRg3BLEyUSNwNvTd7th5wNYMuRwGZ2iN4aLJ1rh8VOpG-O3jyotcr3wfY2aN7eA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Anthony Revita spoke during public comment on March 4 to describe a long-running dispute over a fence permit and subsequent municipal-court proceedings.

Revita told council that a city inspector initially approved his property, then that later interactions with engineering staff and city officials led to enforcement action. He said the prosecutor received information on Dec. 7 that he characterized as false, that a municipal judge later altered his plea and imposed a 30-day jail sentence he said was linked to a false narrative, and that the judge was subsequently removed from the bench. Revita said an appeal is pending and urged councilors to address what he described as Sunshine-law and records issues.

The council did not take formal action in response to Revita’s remarks during the meeting; the matter was raised under public comment and Revita asked individual councilors, including Council President Foster and Councilor Banwag, to take note of the alleged procedural and record-keeping problems.

Revita identified himself at the lectern as Anthony Revita of 1746 Edgar Drive. He requested that City staff or specific council members review the matter and clarify whether open-records or open-meeting procedures were compromised in the case he described. No staff report or formal referral to legal counsel was recorded on the meeting minutes during the public-comment time.

The clerk had reminded speakers of the public-comment rules (City of Hudson Charter article 3, section 3.02 and codified ordinance 220.03) before public comment began.","A Hudson resident told council he was convicted in municipal court over a fence permit matter he says began with a passing inspection and later became a disputed case; he alleged improper record edits, involvement of the prosecutor, and an appeal under way.",{"_33":101,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":102,"_41":103,"_43":104,"_45":104,"_47":105,"_49":106,"_51":107,"_53":108,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":109,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":110,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6117471,"Hudson council adopts public-comment and parliamentary rules, approves consent agenda; moratorium on marijuana applications deferred",0,1793000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2730285-85597b7ca52a248a78292f58799f67bf&start=1793&end=1793","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2730285-85597b7ca52a248a78292f58799f67bf/thumbnail_1793000.jpg","/articles/6117471/Ohio/Hudson-council-adopts-public-comment-and-parliamentary-rules-approves-consent-agenda-moratorium-on-marijuana-applications-deferred","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6117471-ad2d220a80ca21c3e5dee12ba701e8da/orig.mp4?Expires=1771141274&Signature=QPKk5BS~uMxdUt5xwIw0ARDlQvj1owtgFq4wwf-~GNBwuHQITdMcAvT5m3ET~yCRGy~7tIugSGMSVilrvlVMeL47E0UX0B-m3eshonNBC7vtX4isG6A6ulGi4-~zyXpRjgYSNDEcS69RwhQL3yKOmtdmFTpz8tWLbI3frSKuQhF2bi4ILUdhBPO-2DwjfQb0qz5zyKBTbtBHK-U1uxMwBZWWqfF6OrBFXio1R~9sH8bvz3nopmOIvrGL9zVZLX3F1P2E~6PS-8gsyNqQfMGjzS6kW8luyc2v77MwfNRdPs03VLju1ysOMWu-y3YXuCCxl157X~pXkc9JSGaOEGh4zw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Hudson City Council on March 4 passed two ordinances — one that codifies the right of public comment at boards and commissions and another that streamlines parliamentary procedures — and approved a broad consent agenda covering grants, trail and sidewalk contracts, equipment donations and land purchases.

The measures matter because they change how residents will participate in local boards and how council will handle amendments and substitutions to legislation, and the consent agenda includes multiple contracts and land acquisitions that move forward without separate debate.

Council voted 7-0 to pass Ordinance 25-22, which codifies rules for public comment, and 7-0 to pass Ordinance 25-23, which creates a new subsection of the city code intended to streamline parliamentary procedures. The council also suspended the rules and passed a multi-item consent agenda by roll call vote of 7-0; items on the consent list included applications for grant funding and several authorizations to enter contracts or accept donations (see “Votes at a glance” below).

Council referred Ordinance 25-43 — which would remove townhomes from all zoning districts except District 5 (Village Core District) — to the Planning Commission by a 7-0 vote rather than act on it at the meeting. Two agricultural-use applications were placed on the legislative calendar: 25-29 (Brown Farms entities) was read for a second time and remains pending, and 25-44 (Charles P. and Susan Robinson) was given a first reading.

Council considered a proposed resolution (25-45) to declare a three-month moratorium on accepting new applications for marijuana-related activities. Staff requested suspension of the rules to allow potential passage at the same meeting; the motion to suspend the rules failed, with the clerk reporting that suspension needed six votes of seven but received only four. The item will return for a future second reading.

Votes at a glance
- Approval of minutes (item 25-0030): Motion to accept minutes carried 7-0.
- Suspension of rules and passage of consent agenda (items 25-30 through 25-42 as read at the meeting): Suspension passed and consent agenda approved, both by roll call vote 7-0. Consent items included (not exhaustive): Boston Mills Trail Bridge grant application; AARP Community Challenge grant application; Safe Routes to School grant application; solicitations and contracts for a 10-foot trail along Boston Mills Road and sidewalk on Lake Forest Drive; lighting donation and pickleball court funding for parks; asset-management software renewal; increased funding for Ellsworth Meadows retaining wall and snow-and-ice control; financial statement preparation contract; and three separate property-purchase resolutions (parcel numbers as read in council).
- Passage of Ordinance 25-22 (public comment rules): 7-0.
- Passage of Ordinance 25-23 (parliamentary procedures): 7-0.
- Referral of Ordinance 25-43 (townhome zoning restrictions) to Planning Commission: 7-0.
- Ordinance 25-29 (agricultural use application, Brown Farms): second reading; no final action.
- Ordinance 25-44 (agricultural use application, Robinson): first reading; no final action.
- Resolution 25-45 (three-month moratorium on marijuana-related applications): motion to suspend rules failed (needed 6 of 7; received 4), item deferred to a future meeting.

Council procedure and attribution
Council President Foster presided; Mrs. Wheeler performed the roll calls. Motions to move items and the roll-call tallies occurred on the record and are reflected above. When the clerk announced that suspension of rules for the moratorium required six votes and the vote fell short, the chair confirmed the item will appear on the next agenda for a second reading.

The meeting closed at 8:06 p.m.","Council passed ordinances codifying public-comment rights and streamlining parliamentary procedures, approved a multi-item consent agenda, referred a zoning change to the Planning Commission, and deferred a proposed three-month moratorium on marijuana-related applications after a failed suspension vote.","actionData","errors"]
