\"We're we're aiming at 10 years, hopefully, on a 10 year cycle,\" said Nick, a city staff member, when asked about durability. He said the new signs are aluminum, sealed, mounted on new u-channels and 4-by-4 posts to improve longevity compared with older wooden signs that showed peeling and cracking.

City staff said the signs support the city's comprehensive plan and branding efforts; photos were circulated to council and will be posted to the city's Facebook page. Council members and staff discussed that exposure to sun and weather can cause variable wear and that some signs installed might age faster depending on location.

The project is administrative; no council vote or additional funding was recorded during the meeting. Staff indicated the signs are intended to reduce maintenance compared with the prior wooden signs and to tie into future wayfinding work for parks and historical markers.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","City Council 06-26-2025","oneSentenceSummary","City staff reported installation of 14 new branded signs in Moraine as part of a wayfinding and branding project; the signs are aluminum, sealed and mounted on new posts with an expected service life of about 10 years, officials said.","taxTitle","Moraine City Council, Moraine, Montgomery County, Ohio","taxId",69285,"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},6183641,"Council advances TO amendment, approves MOU adding CDL requirement for new street hires",25,1295000,1320000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5094725-ef7a21108eac595c5acd57392170eaf5&start=1295&end=1320","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5094725-ef7a21108eac595c5acd57392170eaf5/thumbnail_1295000.jpg","/articles/6183641/Ohio/Council-advances-TO-amendment-approves-MOU-adding-CDL-requirement-for-new-street-hires","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6183641-28a8ddf5e26840ee3e5a512457bec536/orig.mp4?Expires=1771150576&Signature=SJ9~73wSsL6MEVlF-boWRkOU9dFVkQtPAGeA3YW6FwvYXl4CNRBMG2SSazKHLMM6g~JQu6Vu3GL3pyaXw9l0OCQsZdw0fq0ir0GA9CXEcsNkQBz4y~Y-zrV3grA5r457LhiKefns7tY2xrfhTerJQ9PwJDa~XKGpEGRBCdQ0PbldBl7k5xb6w0YY03ZLD1e9-DbdeVgnoo8dDIhmYKhQ01tLEVR-Fl1iuqul0ff5onz4POmbcGlE6qKihaVIN71z1H1DOkqCpKMZoHB6zuWfkt9uZ9NJHyeGTmkBoKPUW1dluDDxjR2jimZPTjtxs7v698BMsPpq9JO0Q50yvAG--g__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Moraine City Council on June 26 approved on second reading Ordinance 2189-25, which amends the city’s table of organization to require new hires in the street division to possess a commercial driver's license, and authorized a memorandum of understanding with the Dayton Public Service Union, Ohio Council 8, Local 101, AFSCME, AFL-CIO.

Council members voted by roll call to adopt the changes. The ordinance updates the street-division hiring requirement so new hires must hold a CDL; the MOU codifies that change in labor terms. The measure was presented as a second reading and approved in the meeting’s roll-call votes.

City staff said the change is intended to ensure new street-division employees meet job requirements for vehicle operations. The ordinance moves the requirement into the official table of organization and the MOU documents the practical application with the union.

Why it matters: requiring a CDL for new hires affects recruitment and qualifications for street-maintenance roles, and may affect hiring timelines and candidate pools.

Council approved the ordinance and the MOU by roll call vote; implementation steps were assigned to human resources and the street division per the city’s administrative process.","On second reading June 26, Moraine City Council approved an amendment to the city's table of organization and a memorandum of understanding with Dayton Public Service Union, AFSCME Local 101, that requires new hires in the street division to hold a commercial driver's license (CDL).",{"_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},6183646,"Council OKs memorandum with West Carrollton schools for school resource officer in 2025–26",21,1423000,1444000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5094725-ef7a21108eac595c5acd57392170eaf5&start=1423&end=1444","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5094725-ef7a21108eac595c5acd57392170eaf5/thumbnail_1423000.jpg","/articles/6183646/Ohio/Council-OKs-memorandum-with-West-Carrollton-schools-for-school-resource-officer-in-202526","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6183646-16a6f3bacde0bf7c2b9721db91371154/orig.mp4?Expires=1771150576&Signature=XTvPGSuL1ddiSCROJl0RQ3labyTUpH9ETUYLZOUIE8SvmspGvS7j4TV5D5jK4GXsjY2xc~YqRpApP9N8m0zQxG8fbzSRtW0Hp3VunQ0CQudczBJRASDqljCWpO7CaBkbzB6js8oI~EBH7Czuk6lmJ43tkiDrgVBXVmSM8cCQAaRZU-p-wxTuF-jhoiQOnXPg8eO5zXUjCg3ar2tyArCUo7f7I8a9a9pEOfD~V1pEzaS0RekI~W~KraNI3eiYfcih0pjSXJnoVQkYhnZtKKP2ouyA8twZYelKd5Lgx5CfjE0XviioqLxXkV-J6A1eB1Gp1uek9MzJaR-DHiv3XUKbZw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Moraine City Council on June 26 approved a memorandum of understanding with the Board of Education of the West Carrollton City School District to provide a school resource officer for the 2025–26 school year.

The resolution authorizes the city manager to execute the agreement and continue SRO services for the schools during the 2025–26 academic year. The council passed the resolution by roll call; members voting yes included Allen, Miller, Doherty, Marcus, Webb and Mayor Murphy.

Council did not amend the terms during the meeting. The action keeps in place the city’s existing arrangement to assign an officer to the district for school safety and related duties for the upcoming year.

Why it matters: the MOU continues a law-enforcement presence in schools that officials described as part of shared services between the city and the school district; funding and operational details were contained in the proposed agreement.","Moraine City Council authorized the city manager to enter an MOU with the Board of Education of the West Carrollton City School District to provide a school resource officer for the 2025–26 school year; the resolution passed on roll call.",{"_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},6183651,"Council approves $69,600 crack-sealing contract with Buck Pavement Restoration",23,1477000,1500000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5094725-ef7a21108eac595c5acd57392170eaf5&start=1477&end=1500","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5094725-ef7a21108eac595c5acd57392170eaf5/thumbnail_1477000.jpg","/articles/6183651/Ohio/Council-approves-69600-crack-sealing-contract-with-Buck-Pavement-Restoration","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6183651-7784ae0883a5367081a5817cbea75830/orig.mp4?Expires=1771150576&Signature=OqcxHDG6yPPR5PaqkM1fdD9dT1LT0l0Dgan4fofqiXP8nKzVfl9i-RLygfsJ5mhpV06FG17eJnT6mjaWlVrN6J98p7VRH~Aj41QrQqvxr~ixlDKmTwrfxLw8cZ8lphaBL3UYR4tA2aLxJIdtEVo69CEDwbUF41d9jfnmwcgmO6xw8Z7dXy7coT9NmnD-5XTMg5jbRpxkImyAKIuXuFigyck4B9K6QFvSBD96wH9oZg2hiPtlf67dD2e~jBYhp~ngmhmA7i7fvDnzJ~Ji3I--b7kR45StpQuJ2S54YDTP94hxc5NSTzACKzAbt7EQDy7vjHaEILl1T6adOk0sndYbSQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Moraine City Council on June 26 awarded the 2025 crack sealing program to Buck Pavement Restoration LLC with an accepted bid of $69,600 and a total authorization of $76,560 to allow for change orders.

The resolution (8164-25) was presented and a motion to approve passed on roll call. Council members voting in favor included Miller, Doherty, Marcus, Webb, Allen and Mayor Murphy.

City staff described the award as the accepted bid amount with a contingency for additional work within the authorized total. No public opposition was recorded during the meeting.

Why it matters: the crack sealing program is a routine pavement-maintenance contract intended to extend the life of streets; the authorization includes a modest allowance for change orders.

The council adopted the resolution by roll call vote and directed the city manager to execute the contract and permitted change orders within the approved total.","Moraine City Council awarded the 2025 crack sealing program to Buck Pavement Restoration LLC for $69,600 and authorized up to $76,560 in total, approved by roll call vote.",{"_33":113,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":114,"_41":115,"_43":116,"_45":117,"_47":118,"_49":119,"_51":120,"_53":121,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":122,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":123,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6183656,"Moraine holds public hearing on proposed opt-out natural gas aggregation program",952,112000,1064000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5094725-ef7a21108eac595c5acd57392170eaf5&start=112&end=1064","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5094725-ef7a21108eac595c5acd57392170eaf5/thumbnail_112000.jpg","/articles/6183656/Ohio/Moraine-holds-public-hearing-on-proposed-opt-out-natural-gas-aggregation-program","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6183656-3803b9e78557dc72e41e478bea3357e8/orig.mp4?Expires=1771150576&Signature=ccFNJ3g1ydxYF4RUG5-PnZWnJH5C8-ECQOACVafrRcRPJsN5W3NT25i8Il2E1nA8MbNcRcjaVl6pXrysRGP9OWuQkvOgBpbPcfIlq3NlpSmuEUxeTij4kuyHaiMTMCkHZwG11wCsKKaA2mmfixHxjUVulOK67EgFRT0w~VUry93uwUDWkjV32qS69DoLp8CEmH-dY2w6CZslzmEMedJojRxFkjPlELOeKebLbiC1GwULrJ~rgaP3nKXnNWcU3dDEDeH0oYR2eysXRBp62NV78p7ftrGfP0HBW88IF3wGzxsYvLDmxSFYnjDRiKZELrx0P5UccBK4R9eh8h8LtWtWLA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Moraine City Council on June 26 received a presentation and public hearing on a proposed opt-out natural gas aggregation program led by Phil Dysart of Palmer Energy on behalf of the Miami Valley Communications Council.

The proposal would allow eligible customers served by CenterPoint Energy to be included in a pooled purchasing program that offers fixed-price supply terms (typically 12, 24 or 36 months), a 21-day opt-out period when notices are mailed and a planned program start in October. Phil Dysart said the program is intended mainly to provide budget stability and a price ceiling for participants.

\"With the program, you're gonna have a rate. It's fixed for that term,\" Dysart said. \"...the natural gas program more so acts as a price ceiling, versus the electric where you're saving...\" He told the council opt-out letters would be mailed in August and that customers on CenterPoint's PIPP (percentage income payment plan) or already under private supply contracts would be excluded from initial enrollment.

Dysart explained suppliers were solicited for terms and pricing and that the Miami Valley Communications Council's energy committee will consider supplier proposals and recommend whether to sign an agreement. He said Palmer Energy provides the recommendation but does not make decisions for the MVCC.

He described consumer protections built into the program: the 21-day opt-out, a second notice from CenterPoint 10 days before a switch, and no early termination fees for the aggregation so customers can leave at any time.

\"We're also creating protection against those folks that are coming door to door to you,\" Dysart said, warning about short introductory offers from third-party door-to-door sellers that can lock customers into higher rates with early-termination fees.

Council and audience members asked about eligibility and how rates would apply to a mix of residential and small-business accounts. Dysart said the program charges the same supply rate to all participating accounts but that each meter is billed independently by the utility and a customer's monthly charge depends on that meter's usage. He also noted the program cannot affect utility delivery charges, which are regulated by the Public Utilities Commission of Ohio.

The public hearing was opened, questions were taken, and the hearing was adjourned at 6:17 p.m. The council did not take a formal vote on the aggregation plan at the hearing; staff indicated the item would be considered at the Committee of the Whole meeting later the same evening and, if recommended, forwarded to legislation for a vote.

Why it matters: aggregation can affect household and small-business energy bills by providing predictable supply pricing and shielding customers from short-term market spikes, while also centralizing choice of supplier at the jurisdictional level.

No formal action to adopt an aggregation supplier or contract was recorded during the hearing; the council proceeded to its regular meeting and the Committee of the Whole scheduled to act later that night.","At a June 26 public hearing, an independent consultant outlined an opt-out natural gas aggregation plan through the Miami Valley Communications Council that would offer fixed-term supply contracts, a price ceiling and a 21-day opt-out window; no formal council decision was made.","actionData","errors"]
