Administration informed council that planned renovations to council chambers — including new carpet, painting, LED lighting and ceiling repairs that require scaffolding — make the second July meeting impractical. City Administrator Yule told council a contractor advised that a mid‑July timeline was too tight to complete the work.

Councilmember Vanover said he had no objection provided administration could manage any time‑sensitive items. Council voted by affirmation to cancel the two meetings and asked administration to notify affected boards and committee chairs. Council also asked staff to coordinate with Planning Commission and other bodies that traditionally meet during the second week of the month to find alternate locations or postpone as necessary.

The administration said it will contact affected boards, including those with standing meetings, to coordinate scheduling and suggested the Mayor's courtroom as an alternative meeting location if needed.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Springdale City Council 5/7/25","oneSentenceSummary","Council voted to cancel its July 16 and Aug. 6 meetings to allow renovation work in council chambers and moved committee business to earlier July and late‑August meetings.","taxTitle","Springdale City Council, Springdale, Hamilton County, Ohio","taxId",70247,"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},6244715,"Council sends proposal for open application pool for committee vacancies to Rules and Law",1320,2036000,3356000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3229008-0d2a08ad0b65433b0122cc9f2992740a&start=2036&end=3356","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3229008-0d2a08ad0b65433b0122cc9f2992740a/thumbnail_2036000.jpg","/articles/6244715/Ohio/Council-sends-proposal-for-open-application-pool-for-committee-vacancies-to-Rules-and-Law","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6244715-348c779adbe6608573589f9558ed0412/orig.mp4?Expires=1770647482&Signature=ZFZiultaWq42uwS0Oech~JcA-aETmq0hDFrew1Tv611-KuNxCJvqKrN9p8xKf94mFpoWSorROThwhqKPG4WVIAZxUSG25hKTWe7LZ3b4W1q2gFSdmHM64aM1mzJGqmdLjzgsdf5zpbQV6EDwoNzMNDOW38d0OdSiJ~s~fJGpEL211GRYJISJSsPtPAzGSNnOY2d~rUoJmgIxqDmm--Xa9Zd5iYgMpa7PrmHXBSfUmNpQgETXTUFZNjzCrSuS6~TWlMsAVvzVv-3ZnYZ5wUvFigOJLn0dA9VnlfVyYr~vEBmgFIZyq4LpsGz-dWY1ZZLpGidTztPNS~frhYxLxkYrQA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Springdale City Council on May 7 voted 7-0 to send a proposal to create a standing, public application portal for council‑appointed committee vacancies to the Rules and Law committee for evaluation.

Councilmember McFarland moved to refer the item; the motion was seconded and approved unanimously. Proponents said an open application pool would create a larger, more visible roster of residents interested in serving on boards and commissions, help answer questions about nominees' qualifications ahead of meetings and improve outreach.

Councilmember Vanover and others raised process questions about whether the application would be mandatory or optional and how the review would be structured. Vanover said the tool should be designed so council can vet applicants for technical committees such as BZA or Civil Service. \"My question would be... what is our review process?\" he asked. Supporters said Rules and Law would evaluate those details and that the public‑relations committee could assist with outreach once the process is defined.

Council directed Rules and Law to draft a process and return to full council with recommendations; councilmembers suggested the committee aim to develop the portal and any related rule changes over the summer so work could be ready for the next council session.","Springdale City Council voted unanimously to refer a proposal to create an online application process for council‑appointed committee vacancies to the Rules and Law committee for evaluation and recommendation.",{"_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},6244720,"Springdale council authorizes agreement with ODOT for electric vehicle charging infrastructure",104,1287000,1391000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3229008-0d2a08ad0b65433b0122cc9f2992740a&start=1287&end=1391","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3229008-0d2a08ad0b65433b0122cc9f2992740a/thumbnail_1287000.jpg","/articles/6244720/Ohio/Springdale-council-authorizes-agreement-with-ODOT-for-electric-vehicle-charging-infrastructure","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6244720-87e8471821d0db235b2b0fff3be67157/orig.mp4?Expires=1770647482&Signature=ZKJ78oMP~TXwrKJptxxS39Zfxjge2YkbHtspzXY15WC-6fummTX8tJrQ9CGt~~xVpR6ETjLYCiuZV98HnexyEVfZi-tUS1yLyFXzNdLAHZ08~XRSScrxiesFx8vbJX2KNoNSLVJBZRCF5X0qJSXQQ136O7jJm1rxZNwXkD5lb4D8OY4uIrTSkafIbNe5MxmfpEoKpIFbXuo2yjCYhdUdE5YddsFYNuwtURAPnAzwjxqmtT9NDJy28yewcD~SjoVxOFwGofSAGiXW5g9RSJSbHuUMxXKfb9F4h5Cqq6Yy5zlusKfJNlNadR2k1Hq03ghpLupNq0o4p-0ts5HJ-Sz7cQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Springdale City Council on May 7 unanimously adopted Ordinance No. 18-20-25, authorizing the mayor and city administrator to enter into a federal Local Public Agency (LPA) project agreement with the Ohio Department of Transportation for installation of electric vehicle charging infrastructure at municipal sites.

The ordinance states the project will be funded primarily with federal and local funds and administered by ODOT. Councilmembers raised no questions during the reading; the measure passed 7-0.

The ordinance includes standard findings that the action was taken in an open meeting and directs that it take effect \"on the earliest date allowed by law.\" A copy of the agreement is incorporated into the ordinance as Exhibit A.

Administration did not provide additional specifics about sites, schedule or total project cost during the meeting; the ordinance references an attached agreement for project details and funding responsibilities.","Council unanimously approved Ordinance No. 18-20-25 authorizing an LPA agreement with the Ohio Department of Transportation to install electric vehicle charging stations at municipal locations using federal and local funds.",{"_33":101,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":102,"_41":103,"_43":104,"_45":105,"_47":106,"_49":107,"_51":108,"_53":109,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":110,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":111,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6244725,"Springdale council approves ordinance allowing three household pets",410,902000,1312000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3229008-0d2a08ad0b65433b0122cc9f2992740a&start=902&end=1312","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3229008-0d2a08ad0b65433b0122cc9f2992740a/thumbnail_902000.jpg","/articles/6244725/Ohio/Springdale-council-approves-ordinance-allowing-three-household-pets","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6244725-d9972320e12c7a16fbea960f2a11a1b8/orig.mp4?Expires=1770647482&Signature=bvyW6X86DYP6C3~Gukpu4MwrMKY9Z8iJKE6JqzYj7gt1VeUhOQ4MRkw61mxVPe77wvKmq5Tf3wHCsp6Pw8JGCfgKa74cUqzDVPZKMHHcydxyB0WhIw~PvXnP9yzMj17Xoco0BuFJNUfIIplBcdEXJaulUXcGJC7ZgjJPeS2a3h29aNNKnyl9D4L1zvnEA2S8WNYVE6p2nGXgnzIAlwp4vqTcRGR42FOoDuC~Z5NJwIm2ErrzqD4EusK3qfar0uP~v9rxZi9iooHZDtI4tMCSN~DLdYjgRpevxFDhRXaPf26dnY83zfuadgfFWU5UUYQq15wdvOtvNoDRrxlp3~DHog__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Springdale City Council on May 7 voted 5-2 to adopt Ordinance No. 10-20-25, amending Section 153.252 of the Springdale Code of Ordinances to increase the maximum number of household dogs and cats a residence may keep from two to three.

Councilmember Vanover opposed the change, saying it is a short-term fix that should not remain in the building code. \"I think this is a Band‑Aid. I think we really need to go in, and take these animals out of the building code,\" Vanover said during discussion. Councilmember Sullivan Weiskop, who cited Planning Commission review, said the amendment provides relief for residents while the city studies a broader update. \"When this code was first made ... it was back when people had dog houses in their backyard,\" she said, arguing the ordinance should reflect modern living.

The ordinance text amends Section 153.252 F(6)(a)(i) to permit \"no more than 3 dogs, 3 cats, or a combination of dogs and cats so as to not total more than 3.\" The legislation states the change takes effect \"from and after the earliest period allowed by law\" and notes compliance with open‑meetings requirements in the Ohio Revised Code.

Planning Commission reviewed the proposal and recommended approval before it reached council. Supporters on council described the change as an interim measure and said a separate, broader review of animal regulation — including whether the rules should remain in the building/land‑use code — will follow through the planning and administration process.

The motion to adopt the ordinance was moved and seconded on May 7; council conducted a roll call vote before declaring the ordinance passed. The recorded votes were: Mrs. Melvin, Aye; Mr. Gleaves, Aye; Ms. McFarland, Aye; Mr. Jacobs, Aye; Mr. Vanover, No; Mrs. Webster, No; Mr. Anderson, Aye. The tally was five in favor, two opposed; outcome: approved.

Council members and staff said the change is intended to provide limited, immediate relief to households while officials work on recommendations for a more comprehensive code update.","Springdale City Council on May 7 adopted an ordinance amending the city code to raise the number of permitted household pets from two to three, a change supporters said provides interim relief while a broader code review is planned.","actionData","errors"]
