Moraine City Council approves 2025 resolutions on public safety and infrastructure

The Moraine City Council made significant strides in governance during its regular meeting on June 26, 2025, particularly with the approval of key ordinances and resolutions that will impact local operations and community safety.

One of the standout decisions was the unanimous approval of a resolution authorizing the city manager to enter into a memorandum of understanding with the West Carrollton City School District. This agreement will ensure the provision of a school resource officer (SRO) for the upcoming 2025-2026 school year, reinforcing the city’s commitment to enhancing safety in schools. Mayor Murphy emphasized the importance of this partnership, stating, "This agreement is vital for maintaining a secure environment for our students."

Additionally, the council approved a resolution for membership in the National League of Cities, which will cost the city $1,314 in annual dues for 2025-2026. This membership is expected to provide valuable resources and networking opportunities for city officials.

The council also addressed infrastructure needs by awarding the 2025 crack sealing program to Buck Pavement Restoration LLC for $69,600. This initiative aims to maintain and improve local road conditions, a crucial aspect of community safety and accessibility.

In other discussions, the council reviewed amendments to the merit system commission rules and regulations, ensuring that local governance remains up-to-date and effective. The meeting concluded with a commitment to continue addressing community needs and enhancing local governance through informed decision-making.

As the council moves forward, these actions reflect a proactive approach to community safety, infrastructure maintenance, and effective governance, setting a positive tone for future initiatives in Moraine.
