The mayor said the designation and the planned train rides are the product of years of work with railroad partners and local development efforts, and that the train will bring tourists to experience Newark's historic and experiential downtown sites. \"What this train will do is... it'll put Newark on the map in a couple of ways,\" the mayor said, describing an 8 a.m. departure from Newark with a stop in Coshocton and a layover at Denison Depot with activities, music and storytelling during the stop.

The mayor credited Director Madder, Wendy Zukul, Denison officials and \"hundreds of folks\" and local development partners for the recognition. The mayor said the first train event will occur in April 2026 (transcript phrasing: \"April 20 sixth of 20 26\"); the meeting transcript includes an 8 a.m. Newark departure time and a multi-hour layover in Denison, and describes two additional similar opportunities planned.

Council members and staff acknowledged the recognition and said the designation and events are expected to support tourism. The transcript does not include an agreement, contract, or specific city expenditures tied to the train stop; no formal council action was taken on this item during the meeting.

What happens next: the mayor said marketing and partner coordination will be part of ongoing preparations; the transcript does not list assigned staff tasks, funding amounts, or formal agreements.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Newark City Council Meeting 7.7.25","oneSentenceSummary","The mayor told the council that Newark was recognized as a stop on an American 250 Ohio Buckeye train and described a special spring 2026 train event that will include an 8 a.m. Newark departure and stops in Coshocton and Denison Depot; the mayor framed the recognition as a tourism opportunity.","taxTitle","Newark City Council, Newark, Licking County, Ohio","taxId",68992,"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},6178076,"Resident urges patrols after crash on South Second Street; council says incidents must be documented",27,541000,568000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5324978-44d0f5a53cc608a7975533919bd171b5&start=541&end=568","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5324978-44d0f5a53cc608a7975533919bd171b5/thumbnail_541000.jpg","/articles/6178076/Ohio/Resident-urges-patrols-after-crash-on-South-Second-Street-council-says-incidents-must-be-documented","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6178076-8980a27c6b70e63e9cb42fada892af2c/orig.mp4?Expires=1771069413&Signature=aEFLeKqEVJGWGYmWBJWAqkQnOAUAGI2BTgEhmS7f16le3d6y9O9z~6wthAJSfAqwHe8FaEbyYXSxPaEQCB8wwIvqV7aGojF404bUuuGx~rKrJfElHZDkSm-gbHX~KYWrvaUYRaohtM0CBb6TiBpwZjieb2FAMnLd47PYz7Q5WCQZ3LlrrfX7HdowPmoHQ1WuOaonMazmRyaHWUY3ExLJOxx1NuxxAsbLJjycQsH6ewyEiX7yI~OeoLhUpX1WxbxbdoZdCPnG4y7Y1R8JT8KRb2cxrCfZowpdwFuc8V8fpttCHDe05XneO87D0TFk-LxrIpLeBADzxEqDIPGevY-vrA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","A resident identified in the meeting as living at 419 South Second Street told the Newark City Council that a recent incident involving three bicycles and a car on Second Street highlighted a safety concern and requested increased police patrols in the area.

The resident said the vehicle \"slammed\" and went sideways, and urged the council to \"get a patrol of our area\" because \"somebody's gonna be killed.\" The transcript records the resident's account but does not include an incident report number or additional details about injuries.

Council President Mister Marmee responded that stationing a patrol car in a specific location requires a documented history of incidents in that location. \"I hope that you documented and you contacted the Newark Police Department about the incident,\" Marmee said, noting that consistent reports and records of activity are used to justify dedicating patrol resources. The council did not take formal action at the meeting on the request; members said staff and the police department would be the appropriate points of follow-up.

Also raised during public comment were concerns about a proposed venue (named in the comments as Bruce Oliver) and the effect of such venues on long-standing residential areas. Those concerns were voiced by the same resident; the council did not vote or direct staff on the venue complaint during the meeting.

What happens next: council members and staff indicated that residents should report incidents to the Newark Police Department. The transcript records that a councilmember said there is a plan to address motorbike complaints and that the law director and staff would follow up, but no formal direction or written assignment was recorded in the meeting minutes excerpt.","A Newark resident asked the council for increased patrols on South Second Street after a vehicle incident involving bicycles; Council President Mister Marmee said patrol placement requires documented incidents reported to the Newark Police Department.",{"_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},6178082,"Newark City Council adopts appropriation resolution, waives two-day rule",55,428000,483000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5324978-44d0f5a53cc608a7975533919bd171b5&start=428&end=483","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5324978-44d0f5a53cc608a7975533919bd171b5/thumbnail_428000.jpg","/articles/6178082/Ohio/Newark-City-Council-adopts-appropriation-resolution-waives-two-day-rule","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6178082-077213a1a1b736d9ce9b433a935e8075/orig.mp4?Expires=1771069414&Signature=Io-ODAEXYKd2Z3FsIGLnHlONbwcXPmkBv2G7KAdRFnPJjOig3X27dLD2MTR-tmK9u7AAFmc5wyF8ICPSp-rhBfQDzzIxSapdH7-ZWMEwcORBoL0xW6dlaPaRQ9iLRiTeGqS~9NkFxFbSzhAM-9Iaq-brtLfBSKxFyqKmtb6XAuJ~bKffvKzjg2NCtYxasZvm-2Oy6PZuCh3vGMNDVUE9s7Seeg7qVWUg5q9E1LSLhoJMU4Y0vZozZ9uP~v4bWK2mjfS5vY8VNs2BqNev9j5kv2gMTjv9PYSmjrhLYNampBNAA7tWPI5hx8BELfSUpzEF9qvnuo5F7QHvweDY~u~iWQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Newark City Council voted unanimously to adopt Resolution 25-45, an appropriation measure for current municipal expenses, after waiving the meeting's two-day rule. Council President Mister Marmee moved to waive the two-day rule; Mister Barker seconded the motion. The roll call vote on waiving the rule was recorded as 10-0 in favor. The subsequent motion to adopt Resolution 25-45, moved by Council President Marmee and seconded by Mister Barker, also passed on a 10-0 roll call.

The council earlier adopted Resolution 25-39, described in the agenda as a resolution \"separating monies for current expenses of the Municipal Corporation.\" A motion to adopt Resolution 25-39 (moved by Mister Marmey and seconded by Mister Barker) passed on a 10-0 roll call earlier in the meeting.

Several ordinance and resolution items were not acted on today and were held to the council's next regular meeting on July 21. Held items announced on the agenda included Ordinance 25-18 (amending portions of Newark's zoning code), Ordinance 25-20 (accepting additional right of way at West Main Street and South Eleventh Street), Ordinance 25-21 (accepting additional right of way at Mount Vernon Road and Water Works Road), Resolution 25-42 (application to the Licking Park District government partnership program), Resolution 25-43 (applications to the Ohio Department of Public Safety Edward Byrne JAG funding), and Resolution 25-44 (a Community Development Block Grant subrecipient agreement for Newark's FY2025 CDBG one-year action plan). Council members announced those items would be held until July 21.

The meeting record shows the council followed standard roll-call procedure for both adopted resolutions; the transcript does not specify the dollar amounts appropriated under Resolution 25-45 or the specific line items affected. The council clerk (referred to in the meeting as Amy) called the roll for the recorded votes.

What happened next: the council closed its formal agenda business and moved to final public comments and member remarks before adjourning. The council reiterated that several measures will return on July 21 for further consideration.","The Newark City Council voted unanimously to adopt Resolution 25-45, appropriating monies for municipal expenses and waived the two-day rule; the council also adopted Resolution 25-39 and held several ordinances and resolutions for the July 21 meeting.","actionData","errors"]
