City Administrator Miss Duchstein told council the city had digitized records at an approximate cost of $8,700 and that an Iron Mountain final invoice is included in the meeting packet. She noted the invoice showed storage charges and that the city will likely need to appropriate funds to cover continuing monthly storage costs.

Resident Annalise Clear noted the invoice included a storage charge of $180 for the period listed and cautioned that, if continued, that would amount to roughly $1,000 for the rest of the year. Council discussed options for paying the immediate invoice difference (about $200) and for covering future recurring charges by moving funds between line items or making a formal appropriation.

Separately, council discussed replacement or additional city devices (computers) that were not included in the 2025 budget. Administration said an appropriation would be needed; a ballpark number of about $4,500 was cited for the purchase. Councilmembers asked administration to prepare appropriation legislation and identified possible internal line movements to cover the expense if appropriate.

Council also noted some emails and attachments may have been lost during the city’s migration from Gmail to Outlook, which contributed to missing documentation in public records requests and resident inquiries. Administration said it would circulate the budget materials and answer questions in advance of Budget & Finance committee meeting and prepare appropriation legislation if council directs it to do so.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","North College Hill Council 7/7/25","oneSentenceSummary","Council reviewed an Iron Mountain invoice in the meeting packet, flagged an ongoing storage charge and discussed funding for unbudgeted city devices that will require an appropriation estimated at about $4,500.","taxTitle","North College Hill City Council, North College Hill, Hamilton County, Ohio","taxId",72193,"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},6744421,"Council pauses action on City Center stabilization as residents seek more detail",3685,4729000,8414000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5330640-9b50f294609fcb9b4905039f88384931&start=4729&end=8414","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5330640-9b50f294609fcb9b4905039f88384931/thumbnail_4729000.jpg","/articles/6744421/Ohio/Council-pauses-action-on-City-Center-stabilization-as-residents-seek-more-detail","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6744421-189e7813cfde8802017bcce907865205/orig.mp4?Expires=1770900678&Signature=omtm84sHW94ImHNgymc7ScPxNgvSsN7lPLHipJ6ZpoD4wXWs0X-FwIETx8pLbQY6qCJXbsoXrGixrsdH9nTJ3MUJMdqYLpfJ56qkvCSy~64Q9Oltd4KIvj5BDbqQzdT~nzpC5bA8DSWpgIQLDnOsskYP6hriUe9sTKCtG4vMa5axQpz5n8iUzhMhKukTGhRO38jby300JMo5bYzBtllvoHOPSANXwdhJ8-S1hv1x9DuNiO5hjNM5XofDj-EKJTVzuStHGNrEkyuPtDWGMmJx8qm5DiX1IyE2qwk0ISHSO-htN4yeUejMw402zlK0ZpuIOWHhFhYCSgigCk8p0Au0GA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Council members on the North College Hill City Council debated whether to fast-track a contract with RWB Properties to stabilize the 1500 West Galbraith building, commonly called the City Center. A motion to suspend second and third readings for Resolution 12-2025, which would approve the contract and declare an emergency under the Ohio Revised Code, failed to receive the six votes required to suspend readings.

The discussion centered on competing priorities and missing information, including whether the administration had solicited formal bids or quotes, the total anticipated cost of restoring the building versus demolition and the precise funding plan. City Administrator Miss Duchstein said $480,000 in ARPA funds had been encumbered for the project and indicated the city could draw approximately $300,000 from the general fund or pursue lending; she said administration had also sought quotes and had moved to encumber ARPA funds in order to avoid losing that funding.

Several council members and residents pushed for additional transparency before approving the contract. Councilmember Miss Zorb and others asked for written documentation that had been referenced in committee, including any bid or tear-down estimates; resident speakers submitted a written request for the contract between the city and a nonprofit related to Pies Park and pointed out that some emails and attachments were lost during the city’s Microsoft migration. Resident Annalise Clear and others urged the council to hold a public town hall so citizens could ask questions about the scope, schedule and total costs (restoration, demolition, or sale) before the council moved forward.

Administration and proponents said the stabilization work is time-sensitive. Miss Duchstein and others said the intended stabilization scope includes asbestos abatement and mold remediation, drying and sealing the building envelope, and securing the facility to prevent continued deterioration; those steps were described as necessary whether the council ultimately decides to remodel or to demolish and rebuild. Proponents said delaying stabilization could increase future costs and jeopardize ARPA funds already encumbered for the project.

The failed suspension means the council did not advance the contract at this meeting. Councilmembers instructed administration to continue work on technical details, and several members proposed scheduling an ad hoc committee meeting and a public town hall to present findings, invite RWB or other contractors to answer questions, and gather public input before a future vote. The motion to suspend failed on a roll call after several members cited a need for more documentation and public engagement.

The council’s discussion included references to Ohio Revised Code requirements for emergency and procurement processes; the law director noted that the item’s legal basis appears in the “now, therefore” clause of the draft resolution. The administration said it would provide the documents requested by council and coordinate with RWB on availability for a public briefing.

Next steps: Administration will circulate the contract documentation and cost breakdown to council; councilmembers said they would seek dates for a town hall and may use the ad hoc committee within a council committee to develop public outreach and review contractor documents before the council votes on the stabilization contract.","Council members on the North College Hill City Council debated whether to fast-track a contract with RWB Properties to stabilize the 1500 West Galbraith building, commonly called the City Center, but failed to suspend readings necessary to approve the contract at this meeting.",{"_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},6744417,"Council adopts Hamilton County 9‑1‑1 plan and approves intent to place fire and streets levies on November ballot",8,3386000,3394000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5330640-9b50f294609fcb9b4905039f88384931&start=3386&end=3394","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5330640-9b50f294609fcb9b4905039f88384931/thumbnail_3386000.jpg","/articles/6744417/Ohio/Council-adopts-Hamilton-County-911-plan-and-approves-intent-to-place-fire-and-streets-levies-on-November-ballot","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6744417-9855ca6bfb4155b1b83789a1a31bcd08/orig.mp4?Expires=1770900678&Signature=IhHKVpqfD~2HIcfhxK6MTb5m01poC-JREx5Mghlc4GOLPGJ8JbvhzZBiWIcq6rUyUOgaePZoNQmw3eSfWgUdDhBlKh2Pi7n1VDxfIeTyrpjTW09qX1NYMtESpmUXLtmTq6-U-jCsyLScEcEpH7-nK~H~Y5Ytezggu8GDWZcgYmU8zmOWCJV6gWclR74mBwC3hwT2o02~6eDK1NVOqWYUb-XZeBrrhdFu0jKyBLg5RrisKG2IRrzEQNcx-8QClmRdhzk4hO7ihkPz32x4PZnr~sLgPQAUrTnSfCbAWETkLODL89H4eCtPMDHPHmj7Jkgs4rEzeG-ZRoVHUR~6ll5Hkw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The North College Hill City Council voted unanimously to adopt three pieces of legislation affecting emergency services and local infrastructure funding.

Resolution 13-2025 approved the city’s final 9-1-1 plan pursuant to Ohio Revised Code chapter 128. Council suspended the second and third readings of the resolution and then voted to adopt the plan in a 6-0 roll call. The administration and dispatching authority said the plan is required by Hamilton County to allow continued participation in the countywide 9‑1‑1 system; staff confirmed the city is currently covered while the updated plan was awaiting adoption.

Council also passed two separate resolutions declaring the city’s intent to proceed with renewing levies. Resolution 14-2025 declares the city’s intent to renew a tax in excess of the 10‑mill limitation to support fire and EMS operations; Resolution 15-2025 declares intent to renew a tax in excess of the 10‑mill limitation to support repair and reconstruction of streets, roads and bridges. For both measures council suspended the second and third readings and then adopted the resolutions on unanimous 6-0 votes. Adoption initiates the procedural steps required to place the renewal levies on the November ballot; final ballot language, tax rate and effective dates will be set in subsequent legislation and county filing paperwork.

Votes at a glance:
- Resolution 13-2025 (final 9-1-1 plan): suspension passed 6-0; adoption passed 6-0.
- Resolution 14-2025 (fire/EMS levy intent): suspension passed 6-0; adoption passed 6-0.
- Resolution 15-2025 (streets levy intent): suspension passed 6-0; adoption passed 6-0.

The Law Director reminded the council that some ballot-related deadlines (for example, the Charter review path) require time to prepare resolutions and filings; one deadline cited in the meeting was August 5 for placing Charter Review recommendations on the ballot.","At the July meeting, North College Hill council unanimously approved the final 9-1-1 plan required by state law and adopted resolutions declaring the city's intent to renew levies for fire/EMS and for street repair. Each resolution was adopted following a successful suspension of second and third readings; votes were recorded 6-0.","actionData","errors"]
