Vote context and next steps

Several of the resolutions were presented by committee chairs and carried as emergency measures so the city could proceed with procurement, contract execution or grant acceptance. Council members voted by roll call; the transcripts record unanimous or near-unanimous yes votes on the measures as presented. Where staff indicated follow-up (for example, the downtown streetscape procurement and the multi-use path grant), staff will return with contract documents or construction timelines as those projects proceed.

The ordinances were read by number and title and advanced to a second reading for public comment and further consideration.

Public comment included testimony from Ken Jones, a Perrysburg resident who said he moved to the area for access to medical cannabis after multiple sclerosis and a spinal-cord injury. Jones told council that local access matters for patients who have mobility challenges and that traveling to other cities for medicine can be prohibitive.

High-school teacher Heather Hogreif said she supports protections for students and warned that permitting dispensaries in town could send a mixed message to teens: “Kids are smart. They look around. They see what adults are doing,” she said, urging the council to consider the message that a dispensary in town would convey.

Several council members expressed similar concerns about youth access and the high potency of current THC products. One council member urged patience and additional data, noting that nearby communities are only beginning to permit dispensaries and suggesting Perrysburg could wait and observe. Another council member said the city has a role in avoiding “arbitrary regulation” and referenced the state-level adult-use legalization vote as a complicating factor.

Council received emails both supporting and opposing dispensaries; the clerk reported receiving only one pro-dispensary email and several opposing emails. The ordinances were read for a second time; council scheduled the third reading and final vote for the next council meeting to allow more time for public input and for staff to provide additional information.

Formal action at the Feb. 18 meeting consisted of suspending rules to allow the second readings by number and title only. No ordinance was adopted or rejected at this meeting.","Council advanced second readings of three ordinances that would define and regulate marijuana and dispensaries.

The measure drew public comment from John Krancheck, owner of the Bellarmine Suites Hotel and a long-time member of the city’s Convention and Visitors Bureau (CVB). Krancheck told council he supports funding for safety and economic development but said the proposed 3% on gross receipts “penalizes the hotels who have a higher average daily rate” and suggested a $3–$5 flat fee per room as a nondiscriminatory alternative.

Krancheck also urged the city to address what he described as uneven application of the current lodging-tax rules: “There are over 30 to 40 locations that charge for accommodations in Perrysburg through VRBO, Airbnb, private homes… All of the above do not even pay the 3% lodging tax that is now on the books,” he said, arguing that short-term rental operators do not bear the same regulatory and safety costs as licensed hotels.

Council members asked for more information before a final vote. A council speaker clarified that under the Ohio Revised Code the existing 3% lodging tax requires part of those receipts be directed to the convention and visitors authority; the speaker explained the city currently retains about 1.5 percentage points and that the newly proposed 3% would be retained entirely by the city for economic development and other local uses.

Council indicated it will collect written responses from lodging businesses and circulate a document answering the questions raised, including (1) how the current 3% is distributed under state law; (2) whether short-term rentals are currently remitting the tax; and (3) whether a flat per-room fee would be permitted under state law. Council scheduled a third reading and potential vote at the next meeting.

Krancheck’s remarks were the lengthiest public comment on the item; he gave examples of his hotel’s marketing costs and asked the city to consider the competitive effect of taxing higher-rate rooms on a percentage basis. Council members said they would prepare a written response and additional data for members and the public before the next reading.

Votes and formal action: the item was presented for its second reading; council suspended the rules to allow the second reading by number and title only. No final approval of Ordinance 7-2025 occurred at the Feb. 18 meeting.

The council also discussed administrative work on short-term rental (STR) regulation on the administrative side and said staff would report back with clarification on what the city can and cannot do under state law and whether a flat per-room fee is permissible.","Perrysburg City Council held a second reading of Ordinance 7-2025, a proposed 3% additional lodging tax that would raise the local lodging tax from 3% to 6%.
