The ordinance, introduced by Councilwoman Cyphers, cites unanticipated repairs to a 1995 ladder truck and the need to appropriate received grant donations for police and fire purchases.

City manager Rob told council that the ladder truck required unexpected repairs that exhausted much of the normal maintenance budget for fire apparatus. He said the additional fire appropriation requested was approximately $6,000 for that repair. Rob also said the Lions Club had donated $1,800 each to both the police and fire departments; those amounts are reflected in the requested appropriations.

The ordinance text states it is declared an emergency to address health, safety and the operation of municipal departments, and that it should take effect immediately upon adoption. The ordinance references adjustments detailed in an attached Exhibit A allocating funds to police and fire accounts.

On a motion to adopt Ordinance 2025-O-09 at introduction, the council recorded unanimous affirmative votes. Voting in favor were Councilman Ashley, Councilwoman Cyphers, Deputy Mayor Dr. Mary Havens, Councilman Hoke, Mayor Schweller, Councilman Harding and Councilman Greenwood. The motion carried.

Later in the meeting, the Community Affairs Committee recommended the appointment of Randy Bridge to the Board of Zoning Appeals and Property Review Commission. Council moved and seconded the appointment; the council voted unanimously in favor and the motion carried.

No further amendments or conditions were recorded for either the supplemental appropriation or the appointment. The ordinance states it was adopted in open session in compliance with Ohio Revised Code Section 121.22. The supplemental appropriations are effective immediately under the ordinance's emergency declaration, enabling the city to proceed with the fire repair and to spend the received Lions Club donations for the intended police and fire purchases.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Bellbrook - May 27, 2025 Regular City Council Meeting - May 27, 2025","oneSentenceSummary","At its May 27 special meeting the Bellbrook City Council approved an ordinance at introduction that appropriates supplemental funds for public safety repairs and allocated received grant donations; the council also appointed Randy Bridge to the Board of Zoning Appeals and Property Review Commission.","taxTitle","Bellbrook City Council, Bellbrook, Greene County, Ohio","taxId",72802,"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},6534653,"Bellbrook resident urges council to address short-term rentals after repeated yard parking and late-night noise",595,277000,872000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3533860-0c7441846c6798079b028a37dd9f3436&start=277&end=872","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3533860-0c7441846c6798079b028a37dd9f3436/thumbnail_277000.jpg","/articles/6534653/Ohio/Bellbrook-resident-urges-council-to-address-short-term-rentals-after-repeated-yard-parking-and-late-night-noise","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6534653-b730314a73c1046c6cd38b5ce8b9b693/orig.mp4?Expires=1775888861&Signature=Am9HCAt-noGH9cp0u~qSMSuhhN6b4hC5g9ejeeSWXPVDPLzGEr2tJJ6~mvX0vBJVovc-2Kiv53eOisk-26mact8zhKK0MYGlgT5baFIbnd~zaXKgclL7TioUceq16vGeIC~R18HAlDp7dO4tk7D3wXn2hy5zB9UQRsuSUztWRWuvXB9hLCXKLaOik1sYxtRxMaiEKui1eSZhnJvEiRcUs8i4WmBPH6hhHu2c7acbOuRdMTh54ZYMN6KnLzeySudBkxr7jDvN50BgquvnUFGqRp7egbbMlRv7HHf5CipX-w~ar41ksBqhMDfNPVwe0b4N2lqJRIT~SID-s3cK3AZeQA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Regan Ross, a Bellbrook resident of 14 West South Street, told the Bellbrook City Council on May 27 that tenants at a nearby multiunit property have repeatedly parked in his yard, left trash and made noise late at night. Ross said he and his wife have lived in the neighborhood for decades and that the apparent short-term rentals began after the property changed hands about two years ago.

Ross described finding vehicles with temporary tags parked on his property, waking at about 2:30 a.m. to people talking outside and calling police on one occasion. “I went out and said, you know move your truck… I called the police. The officer came, had him move it,” Ross said. He said the landlord told him the tenants had been “thoroughly vetted,” which Ross took to mean the reservation payment had cleared, not that there had been background or behavior screening.

The remarks prompted council discussion about local rules for short-term rentals. Mayor Schweller noted the city’s existing ordinance requires a minimum rental period intended to limit very-short stays; council members referred repeatedly to a 25-day (sometimes stated as 26-day) minimum that the city previously adopted to reduce party-style rentals. “In order to your comment about shorter term, that was one of the reasons we enacted this legislation,” Mayor Schweller said, describing earlier problems with graduation parties and leftover trash.

Council members and the city manager discussed possible next steps. Councilwoman Cyphers suggested a registration and licensing process so city staff could identify owners and have a point of contact for complaints. City manager Rob said staff and the police had spoken with the tenant household and were tracking complaints; he also noted resource limits in staffing. “We maybe think about doing that. At least we know who the owner is of the property,” Mayor Schweller said in the public discussion.

Councilmembers also referred to an example document from the village of Waynesville outlining registration and licensing steps for short-term rentals. A council member observed that local lodging tax collection could be part of a regulatory process. Several members said they would consider options including registration, licensing, and revising the minimum-stay ordinance, but no formal direction or ordinance change was adopted at the meeting.

Police and zoning officers were reported to have engaged with the property; a city officer told Ross the tenants had indicated they planned to leave at the end of the month and that enforcement would escalate if they did not. Ross said he had placed a fence post to block vehicle access to his yard after the incident.

The issue arose during the public-comments portion of the special meeting. Councilmembers thanked Ross for coming forward and said staff would research registration and enforcement models and return to council with options for regulating short-term rentals and addressing related complaints.","A longtime Bellbrook resident told the City Council May 27 that vehicles tied to a nearby short-term rental have driven across his yard, parked overnight and disturbed neighbors. Council members discussed registration, minimum-stay rules and enforcement options and asked staff to review possible responses.","actionData","errors"]
