Ordinance 15-20-25 authorizes the mayor and city administrator to enter into an agreement with Strauser Construction, Inc. for the 2025 annual street program (crack seal and cape seal). The ordinance states Strauser was the lowest and best bidder under the Ohio Department of Transportation cooperative purchasing program and lists the project amount as $217,833.05. The ordinance was acted on at second reading and passed with seven affirmative votes. The ordinance text says it will take effect on the earliest date allowed by law.

Ordinance 16-20-25 authorizes the mayor and city administrator to execute a mutual-aid agreement for law enforcement substantially in conformance with an attached exhibit between the City of Springdale, the City of Forest Park and the City of Fairfield. The ordinance cites the Ohio Revised Code authority for political subdivisions to enter into such contracts. Council discussed the agreement briefly; Mayor Lawrence C. Hawkins III thanked Forest Park and Fairfield for accommodating requested adjustments to meet Springdale’s needs. The ordinance passed at second reading with seven affirmative votes.

Resolution R9-20-25 authorizes the city administrator to include in the city's records-management policy a fee for police department video records in line with House Bill 315 (HB315), signed into law Jan. 2, 2025. City legal counsel explained the fee structure is set by the legislature as a maximum and described it as an “up to” fee of $75 per hour, up to $750 total, based on actual staff time for legal review, redaction, and production. The council heard questions about whether there is a carve-out for individuals named in an incident; counsel said HB315 does not include a carve-out and that the city’s practice will be to consider small requests of less than 15 minutes as not charged. Mayor Hawkins noted that if someone faces criminal charges they would obtain footage through discovery.

Ordinance 17-20-25, a first reading, would declare certain city property surplus and authorize sale or disposal under the city charter and Ohio Revised Code section 721.15. That ordinance received a first reading and is scheduled for further consideration at the council’s April 16 meeting.

Todd Williams, who identified himself as a business owner at 11325 Springfield Pike, told council the former Maple Knoll Professional Building has been the staging point for mulch deliveries and storage for about six weeks and that the mulch piles and equipment activity have caused “the smell, sound, and it's getting a little old.” He said backup beepers, heavy equipment and trucks have shaken the building and prompted some patients to reschedule appointments.

Williams said earlier complaints to the building department produced no committed follow-up. He said Ron Volmer, the condominium association manager, contacted the department and that Tom Hall, chairman of the Board of Zoning Appeals, inspected and “concurred” with Williams and suggested contacting Melissa Hayes, the chief building official. Williams said he did not receive an update from Hayes after submitting contact information and an online complaint.

City staff responded at the meeting. Mr. Yule (identified in the meeting transcript as a city staff member) said the building department is investigating and noted that the city’s regulations permit temporary mulch piles for up to 30 days. \"Businesses are permitted to have mulch piles on their property for 30 days,\" he said, and added that inspectors have been to the site. Yule said staff had spoken with contractors onsite and that they agreed to disable backing alarms on equipment to reduce noise.

Williams told council he believes the property is zoned for office use and said operating a landscaping or mulch distribution business from that site is inconsistent with office zoning. He said the company working at the site is based in Montford Heights and has used the site to support operations in other communities in northern Hamilton County.

Mr. Yule said city staff would ensure Melissa Hayes contacts Williams “tomorrow” with an update and that inspectors will confirm how long contractors intend to remain and whether the site complies with the city's time limits for mulch storage.

Council did not take formal action at the meeting; Williams asked council to compel enforcement of zoning regulations. The transcript does not show subsequent enforcement action or a timeline for correction.","A Springdale business owner told council that a vacant office building at 11285 Springfield Pike is being used as a mulch distribution site, causing odor, noise and business disruption; city staff said inspectors are investigating and contractors agreed to turn off backup alarms.",{"_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},6089484,"Duke Energy donates $7,500 to fund Mill Creek connector study, Springdale officials say",71,987000,1058000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2873972-b7c9dfd2a6b1bd7029cf55f899200ed7&start=987&end=1058","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2873972-b7c9dfd2a6b1bd7029cf55f899200ed7/thumbnail_987000.jpg","/articles/6089484/Ohio/Duke-Energy-donates-7500-to-fund-Mill-Creek-connector-study-Springdale-officials-say","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6089484-f127b723cacc45fc10c956d96bfa811a/orig.mp4?Expires=1775157066&Signature=iwh8IL5ZkF2nhYeGUdn8MhDGbzHiEOsg5XrWl36LMQ4muEE6a6XmqcDp0plibis1iw-QksWWE4nRVNPDvnKDDzZrYDzkz2A5Uy9vMgP6h5qU-KrGRdCHpQ9HsPFDLZlbOVtHe1tQIaGDMgcSpmArewC85~RHxf6pPzvtBscM8woQdti0l3qb-V7~cd6Mgf3wLn9GWWmB5CcLeGg~VC1npx2io9Ei7E3oNt1wNVot3Jtb0S5TaIPhAN2o04G7QD5sqDa-86EWljYc3AoJBPvagrk0OOAhEIrtdxv04e6QKLnjoTXCAfQxSAoRobYITb1dcLXvR5Qcivz~gXxzhQgdNw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Duke Energy’s community-relations team presented the City of Springdale with a $7,500 grant to support a study of the Mill Creek connector trail, Mayor Lawrence C. Hawkins III and a company representative said at the council’s April 2 meeting.

The funding was announced by Christopher Harding, community relations liaison for Duke Energy, who said the donation came from the company’s foundation and is intended to support “lifestyle improvements for city residents” and expanded access to regional trails. “I am delighted to be here on behalf of the foundation to present a check for $7,500 to support the Mill Creek connector study,” Harding said.

The Mill Creek connector study seeks to analyze connections between local trails and larger regional trail systems. Harding said the work also supports “multimodal modes of transportation for folks, whether that’s getting to the jobs or the grocery store.” Mayor Hawkins thanked Harding and noted prior regional support for trail financing.

Harding said the contribution felt “full circle” for him because of previous work with Hamilton County; he also introduced a colleague, Matt Martin, from Duke Energy’s corporate communications team who attended the presentation. Mayor Hawkins invited Duke Energy representatives to return and offered that the council meets on the first and third Wednesdays of each month if Duke Energy wanted to present future contributions.

The council did not take formal action related to the check at the meeting; the presentation was listed on the agenda as a ceremonial item. The city did not provide additional details at the meeting about how the $7,500 will be allocated within the study or whether the study already had other funding sources.

Springdale officials and Duke Energy said the donation is intended to support planning work that could expand trail access and multimodal transportation options in the region.","Duke Energy’s foundation presented the City of Springdale with a $7,500 check to support a study of the Mill Creek connector trail.
