The councilmember framed the statement as a clarification of city practice and a reminder that wildlife is present in the community: \"We're just going to have to know that they live in our environment and do the best we can to, deal with the fact that we have squirrels in Bryan, Ohio, as do all other communities.\" The comments were made during the public comment portion of the meeting and reflected the city's representative advice that supplying poison to residents for squirrels is not permissible.

No formal policy vote or ordinance was introduced at the meeting; the statement was presented as a clarification of practice and a legal constraint cited by the councilmember based on his contact with an ODNR officer.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Bryan City Council Meeting - Bryan, Ohio - 07/21/2025","oneSentenceSummary","A councilmember told Bryan City Council that the city will not provide poison for squirrels after residents sent letters; the councilmember cited advice from an Ohio Department of Natural Resources officer that the practice would be illegal.","taxTitle","Bryan City Council, Bryan, Williams, Ohio","taxId",72242,"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},6159726,"Residents ask council about Huntington Drive repaving as contractors delay work",26,47000,73000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5452749-e75b3885cd49985cc47f6be9ce5b96b7&start=47&end=73","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5452749-e75b3885cd49985cc47f6be9ce5b96b7/thumbnail_47000.jpg","/articles/6159726/Ohio/Residents-ask-council-about-Huntington-Drive-repaving-as-contractors-delay-work","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6159726-ff8eb66c0283ea7a1c0b8ae395d5d5cb/orig.mp4?Expires=1771178113&Signature=mQgAxAYUpp34Hrj5KqyshWvJf2GSg527PrfOPVXqKqdvcz1WUfy-ggYA-d9Kv8fcFSF7NXvh6rDCsC-2x-1Cj6irdgNS4~9Tdr6oKbGqtfs6T1Ajy~SZKirIym7pyibrvfQvIOjQ9n~T3s3JWKh69Zp0iLwFA-mv~XJPUXgCZe-emhlN33iO4TuvLGFkr9Wbit4oOVDomIQIqIRXpvHqPWJGa8x~a8yTAQxgnSKLqXrb8LJur8kLvnPj-hj1pW-GjePm4RUJ7rv3YZFTyQgeHs2NWgINFFCEm~ERj8qwZjUC-7J4T0U2BF8vSAu6BQOKi48IolPOEml8EDzV0iAayA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","A Huntington Drive resident, Steve Cox, asked Bryan City Council about the timing of a scheduled repaving project for Huntington Drive and nearby East Lenders Street, saying the project was supposed to be done this month.

A city staff member responded that the schedule was an estimate and that \"Brian was just confirming with the contractor that it should happen next week.\" The staff member also said heavy rain had delayed contractors on many projects and that the city planned to post signs and consider door‑knocker notices to inform residents before work started.

Cox said there was still loose gravel and dried grass on the street and recommended the city use street sweepers prior to applying the new surface. A council member replied, \"I'm gonna let the department heads in charge make that decision.\" The resident framed the suggestion as a recommendation for operations rather than a request for a formal council action.

No motion or formal action was taken at the meeting. The exchange occurred during the public comments portion of the agenda; city staff indicated they would coordinate with the contractor and department heads on scheduling and pre-paving street cleaning.","A resident asked the Bryan City Council about a repaving project for Huntington Drive after contractors delayed work because of heavy rain.

The council voted yes on a $300,000 loan at a 3% interest rate for 20 years to help finance the project.

The resolution matters for downtown revitalization: the project, described by city staff as creating \"Fountain City Suites,\" will provide a mix of long- and short-term stays intended to serve area businesses. A city staff member told the council the revolving loan fund committee had earmarked the money in 2023 after meeting with Dennis Miller of Maumee Valley Planning and that the applicant secured other grant, foundation and personal loan funds to complete the financing package.

City staff described the upstairs renovation as substantial work requiring an elevator and other modifications for a second-floor conversion. The staff member said the estimate for residential units in the upstairs portion was \"around 12.\" The clerk/treasurer read the resolution into the record before the vote.

The motion to approve was made by Councilmember Rick and seconded by Councilmember John. Councilmembers Jim, Steve, John, Rick and Mary recorded \"yes\" votes, and the resolution passed unanimously.

Council discussion noted the loan had been under consideration since 2023 and that closing paperwork was near completion; staff said they expected to finalize financing this week. No amendments to the resolution were made during the meeting.

The action authorizes use of the local CDBG revolving loan funds to support rehabilitation at 113–115 South Main Street and allows the city to close the loan consistent with the terms described at the meeting. The council did not set additional conditions or follow-up tasks during the public meeting.","Bryan City Council unanimously approved Resolution No. 352025 to use Community Development Block Grant economic development revolving loan funds to support TDK Holdings LLC's rehabilitation of 113–115 South Main Street into short- and long-term rental units.","actionData","errors"]
