Cindy (public-service staff) told council the public-service department had asked the City of Columbus to test pressures at the public main and that those tests showed higher pressure at the public main than was present inside the private water system of the condominium association.

Several speakers addressed council during new business and public comment. Julie Lisonbee (2617 Bridal Circle) said she opposed the repeal of an ordinance that had restricted dispensaries and urged council to \"rethink chapter 37 32\" and prioritize public health and family supports. Jason Gale (3035 Long Ridge Way) and David Hellard (3151 Orders Road) also spoke against allowing dispensaries in town, arguing the businesses would send a negative message and raise safety concerns. Ron McClure (5446 Hahn Road) asked council to \"vote the will of the people\" and said many in the audience opposed any dispensary in Grove City.

Later in the meeting Ms. Kelly (city clerk) confirmed that council had the opportunity that evening to make a motion to override the mayor's veto regarding the application/ordinance (C10-25 referred to in the agenda), but no motion to override was made; as a result, Ms. Kelly said, \"that application and that ordinance is dead. Doesn't mean they can't come back and file another one.\" The transcript shows no override motion was offered.

Council took no further action on the matter during the meeting. Public commenters emphasized family and public-health concerns and asked council to survey and engage constituents on the issue; speakers and staff urged civic engagement and noted the permission to refile an application remained.","After multiple public comments opposing a marijuana dispensary in Grove City, the council did not move to override the mayor's veto and staff confirmed the application/ordinance is no longer active; speakers urged council to reflect community concerns.",{"_33":88,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":89,"_41":90,"_43":91,"_45":92,"_47":93,"_49":94,"_51":95,"_53":96,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":97,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":98,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6582615,"Votes at a glance: council approves development plan, committee appointments, property conveyance and salt contract",1137,241000,1378000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3074647-45f3a6606d5ee14593a10bc70ea91aae&start=241&end=1378","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3074647-45f3a6606d5ee14593a10bc70ea91aae/thumbnail_241000.jpg","/articles/6582615/Grove-City/Franklin-County/Ohio/Votes-at-a-glance-council-approves-development-plan-committee-appointments-property-conveyance-and-salt-contract","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6582615-6971e1ed1b31b52aa78722e1b42b6b5f/orig.mp4?Expires=1771003390&Signature=Sx8z0-01gDg~JL6GhQ3suTSa00fiKJz6r5OMvA2EFA8keeCbFpxYtBNbn6eK2qqxBBR9RvnBFqg-cL9qu-2QZw5M-QNTEWFIbLplBOgIH~-mkgTB3iNFEMr7yofFtfIe3nOGLaYwkOFAV3JXfgnGSO6xF-R8HBOvibdfmGsua1HRvw4mlaByJSC~jKnnq6DSr9Ae-~CNOBOQdrL7UNhy4CDXHSB4044~flhHMWqpZDdTH~OGzymoWhTvtgFlV9FTx4vdSlO6bt8BvWk-yHlIRm6qDNS3HIROTzp4lckDsAmaf0gWX7iCyILgy4VE5Lx9q7AW-UYw5wWz~TPraDMuNg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Grove City Council approved a bundle of routine but substantive measures at the meeting, including a development plan, several appointments, authorization to dispose of excess city property and participation in a state road-salt contract. The items below summarize each action and key details.

Murray Display Fixtures LTD ' Development plan (Resolution CR14-25)
The council approved Resolution CR14-25 to approve the development plan for Murray Display Fixtures LTD at 2300 Southwest Boulevard. The applicant, Brian Sweeney, said the owner will add roughly 5,000 square feet of building space for additional storage and will extend the asphalt driveway to serve the addition. Planning commission had approved the plan; staff reported no variances or stipulations. Council approved the resolution by voice/roll call vote.

Grove City Cares Healthcare GRAMA pilot program ' Appointments (Resolution CR15-25)
Council approved Resolution CR15-25, appointing Maureen Cahill and Jason Moore to the Grove City Cares Healthcare GRAMA pilot program committee. Staff indicated the committee is pre-established and further details on start dates were \"not specified\" at the meeting.

Convey excess personal property (Ordinance C12-25)
Council adopted Ordinance C12-25 authorizing the city administrator to convey excess personal property no longer needed for city business. Staff described the measure as enabling donation or transfer of surplus vehicles and equipment to other political subdivisions, school districts (Southwestern City School District was named) or eligible 501(c)(3) charities. Staff noted the city follows this process annually and the ordinance specifically covers vehicles and similar assets.

Ohio Department of Transportation road-salt contract (Resolution CR16-25)
Council approved Resolution CR16-25 to authorize participation in the Ohio Department of Transportation contract for road salt, allowing Grove City to purchase salt at state-negotiated bulk prices. Staff reported Grove City used about 2,100 tons of salt last year and the contract allows procurement up to 110% of the baseline amount; the contract is the city's usual annual procurement method.

Town Center Loan Program ' Loan review committee appointments (Resolution CR17-25)
Council adopted Resolution CR17-25 appointing five members to the loan-review committee for the Town Center Loan Program: Tim Bowers, Melissa Fort, Greg Salt, Brent Miller and Don Lother. Staff said the loan committee provides advisory review for loan applications; loans can be competitive and the program'as described by staff'can provide loans up to $150,000 (staff said the application under discussion would be about $75,000).

How the votes were taken
All items in this summary were approved by council during the meeting by roll call or by motion followed by roll call. Where roll-call tallies were read aloud the votes were affirmative; the meeting record shows each measure carried.

What was not decided tonight
Several other land-use items were on the agenda as first readings (for example, a tattoo-shop special-use application and multiple plats and zoning-text amendments). Those items remain on first reading and will return for later hearings and votes. The council also heard presentations and public comments on other topics (see separate articles).","Council approved a set of routine development and administrative measures, including a development plan, committee appointments for two programs, authorization to convey excess property, participation in the state road-salt contract, and appointments to the Town Center Loan Program loan-review committee.",{"_33":100,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":101,"_41":102,"_43":103,"_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":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6582620,"Council hears update on Grove City 2050 plan; steering committee recruitment, public input planned",964,1511000,2475000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3074647-45f3a6606d5ee14593a10bc70ea91aae&start=1511&end=2475","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3074647-45f3a6606d5ee14593a10bc70ea91aae/thumbnail_1511000.jpg","/articles/6582620/Grove-City/Franklin-County/Ohio/Council-hears-update-on-Grove-City-2050-plan-steering-committee-recruitment-public-input-planned","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6582620-22709a88b38f10c8e72fa53994286924/orig.mp4?Expires=1771003390&Signature=jM0tNa1fKX53DLimUceQ-KIWodQS5wNuZCRfkAYMLRil5CrwMaQ3j-0cIHyx3pTdAv-IMdzqA8y2pv~ykOYiVZRHFMMAWWGEEeV4VicVun6FePa0qyoRmThfWzbKFdEO7-AltCCYFLC-oEyte4CO2NQyiQ4yxLQsxTo9YPFUZIaB8VKaDRHprPtJ6Itoi72YaEPCo2RXsuRflL7IHLNcYtTifutFN8LJFJtUwzbCWowrtIEI-PgbyC1f9FOI~TWy7BxvIXA8H-0W8XCTy5GjFHDDaS14yJqmDbGkT3UqNOTpncOpBesKDnxpkyLonzITNeXNqdS7bz~aBMVbWeFd2w__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Planning consultants Planning Next and zoning consultant Compass Point Planning presented council with a progress update and public-engagement plan for an update to the Grove City 2050 community plan.

Kim Shills of city planning staff introduced the update, saying the plan, originally adopted in 2018, needs review because the community and region have changed. Jamie Green, principal at Planning Next, and Michael Curtis (Planning Next) outlined the consultants' goals: reaffirm the community vision, inventory progress on prior plan actions and integrate related work (town center, zoning rewrite, transportation), and provide an implementation framework that staff and elected officials can use when weighing development and capital decisions.

Michael Curtis described next steps and outreach: the project team has contacted prior steering-committee members and is running a new application process to add six to 10 additional members so the steering committee better reflects the community. The public-engagement program will include an online survey, pop-up outreach at community events and a \"meeting-in-a-box\" approach where committee members host small-group discussions with consistent questions. Consultants said they expect to bring a draft recommendations book to council before year-end.

Wendy Moller of Compass Point Planning said she is assisting staff to finalize a draft zoning code rewrite and coordinating that work with Planning Next so code changes align with plan goals.

Council members questioned schedule and scope. Jamie Green recommended annual monitoring of the plan and periodic updates every five years in growth contexts; Michael Curtis said the team would deliver a draft for council review before adoption. Council asked about topics to be included; consultants said housing (including affordability and multifamily), mobility and infrastructure would be covered. Staff noted the plan'making area will focus on the city's service area tied to water and sanitary sewer service agreements with Columbus and that the plan will address connectivity and town-center infrastructure concerns raised in prior planning efforts.

Council also discussed outreach strategy and participation barriers; consultants emphasized meeting people \"where they are,\" using online tools and community events, and using steering-committee members for targeted outreach.

No formal action was taken; the presentation sets the public input schedule and staff will return with steering-committee appointments for council consideration.","Planning consultants presented a timeline and engagement plan for an update to the Grove City 2050 community plan, including formation of a steering committee, two rounds of public input, and coordination with a concurrent zoning-code rewrite.",{"_33":112,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":113,"_41":114,"_43":115,"_45":116,"_47":117,"_49":118,"_51":119,"_53":120,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":121,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":122,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6582624,"Grove City Council OKs one-year extension of electric aggregation, declares emergency",666,346000,1012000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3074647-45f3a6606d5ee14593a10bc70ea91aae&start=346&end=1012","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3074647-45f3a6606d5ee14593a10bc70ea91aae/thumbnail_346000.jpg","/articles/6582624/Grove-City/Franklin-County/Ohio/Grove-City-Council-OKs-one-year-extension-of-electric-aggregation-declares-emergency","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6582624-0a4d0977d3b2e4471099d933601a9024/orig.mp4?Expires=1771003390&Signature=mIUV~TB-xzSq~ItRiSsIIsR2hxw9bKg~j73q-9ThRLDz7q96XsmLSu0umymbnLH1ATMpYXh8KcAph4oPnj~IpdC0pV9Y-Ud0v9ewf5lQMCtX1ImNBMIHEPp1WVP1mtE6PFWnSpNIeRjyWADASt6ldxgNUMWA79TRhsBY62YMEubyPH3TJd7u5l2jFz-BAG3FymGipESpAfIrQuOx0t9J3VOePzcfF988Cldur7RHFNsU~pylD~nEk93s~BH3agEpkUDCLkKRLYJxbZ7tt6Smuu01DKN3Kq6t2A3r3bGGgfXD-JLsov04jh1zE0e1OsJc8X1WYN0qM2kW2kdHgIxw7g__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Grove City Council voted unanimously to approve ordinance C17-25, authorizing the city administrator to enter into an agreement with a competitive retail electric supplier to extend the city's electric aggregation program for one year and declaring the ordinance an emergency.

The vote came after a staff summary and a presentation by consultant Greg Beckert of Syoda Energy. Steve (city administrator) told council the program, available to residents inside the corporate limits unless they opt out, had saved the average household roughly $380 over the prior two years and that staff sought authority to lock a new 12-month contract that morning. The proposed supplier rate was described in the meeting as roughly 9.39'09.9 cents per kilowatt-hour, and staff said the city would not accept a rate above 9.9 cents.

\"What we're asking council for today is authority to lock something in tomorrow that we believe will be close to the quote we got today,\" Steve said. Greg Beckert of Syoda Energy told council the market has been \"pretty volatile\" and that the one-year option avoids premiums suppliers were charging for longer terms. Beckert said the procurement offered a renewable energy component and that the expected household saving versus AEP's upcoming utility rate would be modest'about $5 per month if the near-term quotes held.

Councilors asked how soon AEP'the incumbent utility'would change its rates; Beckert said the change typically shows up on customers' June invoices and that modeling at the time put AEP's expected rate between 10 and 10.5 cents per kilowatt-hour, excluding renewable content. City staff stressed residents would be sent notification and could opt out.

Because supplier pricing holds only until the utility's daily offer window closes, council voted first to waive the normal waiting period and then to adopt the ordinance as an emergency so staff could lock a supplier price the following day if the quote met city limits. The council president asked staff to contact the utility first thing the next morning and to refrain from locking a contract if the price exceeded 9.9 cents.

The action directs the city administrator to finalize the contract within the authorized price band and to report back to council on the rate secured.

Votes at a glance: council voted to (1) suspend the waiting period and (2) adopt ordinance C17-25 as an emergency. Both actions carried unanimously.

The ordinance is administrative: it directs the administrator to execute a contract within parameters set by council; no additional regulatory changes were discussed. Staff and the consultant said the program retains a green energy component within the supplier product and emphasized residents'who are automatically enrolled'may opt out at any time.

Council asked staff and the consultant to continue monitoring the market and to reoffer a longer term only if a materially better option emerges.","Council adopted ordinance C17-25 to extend the city's electric governmental aggregation program for 12 months and authorized the administrator to lock a supplier rate; council declared the measure an emergency and approved it unanimously.","actionData","errors"]
