Council discussion characterized the item as mainly transferring money from salary lines to contractual accounts to cover items such as vehicle maintenance, lease equipment and certain utility expenses. During committee consideration, council members said the committee did not recommend approval of the substitute version, but the council moved forward with a substitute motion, an amendment to correct a numerical error on page 2, and a final approval vote that the clerk recorded as affirmative for the substitute and amended ordinance.

Clerk roll-call references during the vote in the transcript include recorded \"Yes\" votes and two members listed as out (Walker and Weiss). The transcript identifies Council member Smith, Council member Houston, Council member Kosak and President Keeler among those voting yes; the substitute and amendment were adopted and recorded in the transcript as Ordinance 2025-O-8 being approved as substitute and amended.

Council discussion also referenced a separate substitute version that would move IT expenses from salary to contractual; council approved the substitute as amended after the correction.

The item was presented as a supplemental appropriation; the transcript records a stated dollar figure of $10,000 but contains additional numeric references that were unclear in the audio excerpt. Where specific amounts or committee recommendations are not fully recorded in the excerpt, the transcript does not provide further documentation in this segment.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","June 23, 2025, Special Council Meeting","oneSentenceSummary","The Grandview Heights City Council approved a substitute and amended version of Ordinance 2025-O-8, described in the meeting as a supplemental appropriation moving funds primarily from salary accounts to contractual expenses including vehicle maintenance and lease equipment; the committee had not recommended the substitute version.","taxTitle","Grandview Heights, Franklin County, Ohio","taxId",72272,"location","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":76,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":77,"_41":78,"_43":79,"_45":80,"_47":81,"_49":82,"_51":83,"_53":84,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":85,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":86,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6190164,"Grandview Heights swears in officer Mason Motts and unveils new K-9 Hank",178,254000,432000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5052768-11bd3079dd80d3cc632f3368f284c81b&start=254&end=432","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5052768-11bd3079dd80d3cc632f3368f284c81b/thumbnail_254000.jpg","/articles/6190164/Grandview-Heights/Franklin-County/Ohio/Grandview-Heights-swears-in-officer-Mason-Motts-and-unveils-new-K-9-Hank","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6190164-8b1ee47a4246dd3598c2c4e59f94bfdb/orig.mp4?Expires=1771167792&Signature=LiYyGGFS17UT8tz9609482Yq~aXtdWm59jrWUCAgFurQ0rSXf3dCxC2oovb8sg4c5DPwmnepP06W8fj4KMhrukXyxt1IwG7ggiDhB~7-89JEsQQMCS6qN8ygE4cfQAsLJPdkczkY2ECv6KjD3ewWLI2xHAPcJ6ZxdI9uNat0K0uSbVIWkzzCv7GHn~sK~KT8Jhf9lSkvjs14I24Qv-IPgB2XjMseeP2WeCNedHOT5uKbrC90GXhqqZ89k9jXgZ~a2CVTEC02NFi8NHRkRCzJYtd8mgdkd2SfwfGNnS7kJk~BnogaQbIoA~4gLeX1dLrXHW-oLHT9p3rwPoA-nc9fMw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The City of Grandview Heights administered an oath of office to Officer Mason Motts and introduced the city's newly created canine unit, which pairs Officer Joe Ford with Hank, a nearly 2-year-old Belgian Malinois/German Shepherd cross.

During the June 23 special meeting, the council chamber conducted the swearing-in ceremony in which Officer Mason Motts recited the oath to support the U.S. Constitution, the Ohio Constitution and the charter and ordinances of the City of Grandview Heights. The mayor noted a prior swearing-in at City Hall had already occurred for administrative purposes.

City officials introduced Hank and said the canine unit completed a 10-week certification at the Ohio State Highway Patrol Basic K-9 Academy. Officials described Hank as trained in narcotics detection, area searches, tracking, building searches, officer protection and dangerous-suspect apprehension. The presentation to the council noted that, in Hank's first month in service, the team had been deployed 17 times leading to 21 narcotics seizures and assistance in 10 arrests. Reported narcotics included fentanyl, crack cocaine and methamphetamine as well as assorted paraphernalia.

The city presented a registration and license for Hank during the meeting.

Speakers identified in the transcript included Officer Mason Motts (the officer sworn in), Officer Joe Ford (canine handler), and Sergeant Nick Hart (K-9 unit supervisor). The transcript does not attribute every line of the presentation to a single identified speaker; the unit's operational numbers were reported during the introduction.

The council and audience offered congratulations to the officer and to the K-9 unit. City officials said Hank will continue monthly training to maintain certification and operational readiness.","The city administered an oath to Officer Mason Motts and introduced a newly created canine unit; officials reported deployments and narcotics seizures in the first month of service for K-9 Hank.",{"_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},6190170,"Grandview Heights mayor names new building official; council moves to confirm civil service commissioner nominee",65,78000,143000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5052768-11bd3079dd80d3cc632f3368f284c81b&start=78&end=143","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5052768-11bd3079dd80d3cc632f3368f284c81b/thumbnail_78000.jpg","/articles/6190170/Grandview-Heights/Franklin-County/Ohio/Grandview-Heights-mayor-names-new-building-official-council-moves-to-confirm-civil-service-commissioner-nominee","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6190170-289ebcfbd845bdd7f97d0303970c8221/orig.mp4?Expires=1771167792&Signature=fO9eCq7fneoyhgf~UWhPCAQBHO2roOR1-Cj5gRltKf6ybieGtbNshrUk34nJb9EQ-~iT5bw4n-Vo728zwRP3Q-FPKGVcVuUBj1koiT4SS34iehXmMe8PiFx3mEEh3Ql9uHiFCCQ5Hsh15lBv~mtx91DpU8MTswhvnAPKZXOe4Rl7cX1Y8fitr-30l8xkfpAyHkiTqoAQRnFyOpblYYlP7jsjmg47SLzMQSGXpeDRE6YzzXxJTuP91EAE8k8dSYN-YWoXilfm01H2YqEQR9zpwLn7zT7W82h1v3ta5ZmVIqWAzlFF8kpS8nafxcnszq9YoUSM4rT4IdUl5soPc4fDzQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Mayor Kearns announced that Michael Hulsey will start June 30 as director of the City of Grandview Heights Building and Zoning Department after a multi-jurisdictional search.

The appointment was presented during the council's special meeting June 23 as Mayor Kearns described Hulsey's background, saying he comes from Hilliard where he served as a building director and is a registered architect. Mayor Kearns said Hulsey has attended planning commission and BZA meetings to begin onboarding.

The mayor also introduced a nomination to fill a vacancy on the civil service commission following the resignation of Amy Ida, which the mayor described as prompted by family and workload considerations. The mayor named Eric Farmer (recorded in the meeting transcript) as the nominee and asked the council for confirmation.

A motion to confirm the civil service nominee was made during the meeting. The transcript records a motion and a subsequent exchange but does not include a formal roll-call vote or a completed, recorded outcome for that confirmation within the provided excerpt.

The mayor described the civil service role as related to fair, merit-based hiring practices; he noted the nominee has experience in government service and environmental law dating to 2008. Council members offered brief congratulatory remarks after the motion was made.

No other formal council action on the building and zoning appointment is recorded in the provided transcript excerpt; the mayor said Hulsey will begin June 30 and that an earlier swearing-in at City Hall had already occurred for a separate personnel matter.

Local context: the civil service commission oversees merit-based hiring processes for city personnel; the mayor noted the nominee's legal experience as a qualification.

Questions or further formal votes on either appointment were not recorded in the transcript excerpt provided.","Mayor Kearns announced Michael Hulsey will start June 30 as head of the city's building and zoning department; council heard a nomination for a civil service commissioner and moved to confirm the nominee amid a recent resignation.","actionData","errors"]
