Woods said the new traffic signal timing can make left turns take seven to nine minutes in the morning and asked whether the signal uses sensors or a fixed timing sequence. City Manager Holloway said she would take notes and have the service director inspect the intersection and follow up with Woods; staff asked him to leave contact information.

On sewer, Woods said many houses in his plat are on septic and that his own septic system failed on Dec. 6, requiring extensive repairs. He asked what petitions or paperwork would be required for residents to pursue connection to city sewer and whether the city could consider an assessment to fund connections given the adjacent multimillion-dollar development. Holloway said staff would review the request and follow up.

Woods also asked about additional roadwork and whether the developer will build curbs and sidewalks after spine road completion; staff described the work completed as phase 1 (Dixie and Manchester improvements), said a temporary roadway currently connects Manchester during construction and that phase 2 would include additional roadwork north of Dixie but that no timeline was set. Staff also noted that a Culver's franchise had mobilized to build on a corner parcel and that further parcel-level work would begin in the near term.

Council acknowledged the concerns and directed staff to follow up with the resident.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","West Carrollton OH, City Council Meeting 1/28/25","oneSentenceSummary","A resident asked council to review traffic signal timing, confirm contacts for complaints, and to evaluate whether nearby septic households could be connected to city sewer following recent river-district construction and a new lift station.","taxTitle","West Carrollton City Council, West Carrollton, Montgomery County, Ohio","taxId",72097,"location","Ohio","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":77,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":78,"_41":79,"_43":80,"_45":81,"_47":82,"_49":83,"_51":84,"_53":85,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":86,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":87,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6098632,"Council to review zoning rules after church daycare request denied under I-2C classification",421,1751000,2172000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2823173-dabb44efb6d7cbb97e2fde8efc047038&start=1751&end=2172","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2823173-dabb44efb6d7cbb97e2fde8efc047038/thumbnail_1751000.jpg","/articles/6098632/Ohio/Council-to-review-zoning-rules-after-church-daycare-request-denied-under-I-2C-classification","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6098632-16b5643a00cc11e5ea5edf9333c4d1d6/orig.mp4?Expires=1771153077&Signature=AVnwd-~ciUVHwm5EprSawx~at4ziY8drDMC4YbwMS~2stKPflm9ciodD7dwbobOFhHXrxf-Og83E7iOJXf61HbnSx-v9l2Uh-CUiA2Y6uokAfjUK1qhm1hUclyjmHxd6s4kme4MVgTv5SzEOGkl-m5oNMjAELDz0k~uoLf5cvZP0Omq6SHgTDt2hOqRRIEYGJfyFjWwKGokxLuZOwysNN08mBGaxMoP~xpCyi0q-4fvJ-Cf2H~2doqGi5AT5Fxj0G-YP-HQtREltxb3W3lYbOY6fERmOqRPbmO-95Lykv6PwpSmOZ9bc7FtOTR8psQJ-WSAWv9HC0hV0q92J5Vd2TQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Council members asked city staff to review zoning classifications and notification practices after a pastor asked to open a daycare at the Church of the Lost and Found and was told the I-2C (conservatory) zoning did not permit daycare.

Councilman Rick Dobson described receipt of a complaint from the church’s pastor and said the denial and the time taken to convey the decision (about four weeks, according to comments) could threaten the church’s financial viability. Dobson said churches in many residential and commercial zones can operate daycares and questioned whether I-2C is being applied in a way that effectively denies daycare where other I-2 districts allow it.

Other council members expressed support for expedited review. Councilmember Tilton and Councilman Boyle urged the city to consider whether notification procedures for zoning changes (mailing and newspaper notice) are adequate and to make processes more accessible to residents who do not receive newspapers. Councilmember Vinny and others said there is an acute need for licensed daycare spaces in West Carrollton, including care that serves families using state assistance programs.

Council directed staff to review the zoning determination, clarify what procedures apply for notification of zoning changes and to report back promptly. No formal vote or ordinance change was taken at the meeting; council asked staff to address the matter in a timely manner.","Council members asked staff to review zoning notification procedures and whether I-2C zoning should allow daycare uses after a local church was told its proposed daycare does not conform to I-2C rules.",{"_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},6098634,"Council approves recycling contract, equipment bids, salt and street resurfacing; appointments made to CIC",663,973000,1636000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2823173-dabb44efb6d7cbb97e2fde8efc047038&start=973&end=1636","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2823173-dabb44efb6d7cbb97e2fde8efc047038/thumbnail_973000.jpg","/articles/6098634/Ohio/Council-approves-recycling-contract-equipment-bids-salt-and-street-resurfacing-appointments-made-to-CIC","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6098634-12267cc60aea9a3e3ced1025f195e1ed/orig.mp4?Expires=1771153077&Signature=FCdSDpYvlLcdE80ER7TbO70HBrM78irs8JYOzI8h-6AlsWYNHpAooJ~YmfqP5y49H5VswYm3OowlrK-fJk1hXJPoXBMTmURZ4jKXm2u9E3eZXk6RafUHP0VWyXOLw~W8D4yuxtOWRt0UAAkaMS-u07gzwRhUniTSBkmYn8A9HN7LbnPXrb0iMPibu7zCgvMcBn5Q4OBc21jFX0RxTf9UTZQxXKyqu9eVJfjNjXY0VbJrg-i1mawtYTGj0QxXb1~LrwgwnVCwSD8HhFwdCKZGCIfUVPguBUFMocAAJjyE66eFo54XJugpnMZYX13lX8bR~V~Nnm78mE2YOqEAbDpQBg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","West Carrollton City Council approved a package of resolutions authorizing contracts, bid advertising and budgeted purchases, and appointed trustees to the West Carrollton Community Improvement Corporation (CIC) during its regular meeting.

City Manager Holloway told council the levy is a renewal of the 3.9 mills approved by voters in March 2020 and that, if collected at 100% of expected receipts, it would generate $725,000 a year. She said the levy will fund personnel, equipment and maintenance for the fire department and that, as a renewal, it will not increase property taxes.

Council members raised a concern about the resolution’s written title, which reads “declaring the necessity for an additional property tax.” Council members said the phrasing could confuse voters. Holloway and other staff present said the Board of Elections reviewed the proposed legislation and the ballot copy; the text voters will see is worded to indicate the measure is a renewal rather than a new tax.

Mayor Barnhart moved to approve Resolution 4-2025; the motion was seconded by Councilman Dobson and carried on a roll-call vote. Recorded yes votes included Councilman Dobson, Councilmember Freiman, Councilman Tilton, Councilmember Tomlin, Councilman Boyle, Councilmember Zenney and Mayor Barnhart.

The council instructed staff to proceed with submission of the ballot language to the Montgomery County Board of Elections and to continue outreach clarifying that the measure is a renewal of the existing 3.9-mill levy.","Council approved Resolution 4-2025 to place a 3.9-mill renewal levy for fire and emergency medical services on the ballot; city officials and elections staff clarified that the ballot will present it as a renewal, not a new tax.","actionData","errors"]
