A staff presenter said the CCRB was established in 2023 and that its original membership requirements were narrowly written, which hindered recruitment. The Cultural and Diversity Citizen Action Commission reviewed the proposed changes and voted about 7–0 in favor of recommending the amendments.

Staff asked council to move the ordinance to the Monday council meeting and adopt it as emergency legislation so that pending appointees may be seated promptly. Following that recommendation, staff also recommended appointment of Howard Adams and Tierra Brookshire to the CCRB for terms ending Dec. 31, 2028, contingent on the ordinance change. Background checks had been completed, staff said.

Council agreed to place both the ordinance and the appointments on the Monday meeting agenda. No final vote was taken at the work session; the council directed staff to proceed with formal consideration and appointment at the regular meeting.","Council agreed at its Sept. 16 work session to advance proposed changes to the Citizen Complaint Review Board membership rules and to consider appointing Howard Adams and Tierra Brookshire once the ordinance is changed.",{"_33":88,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":89,"_41":90,"_43":91,"_45":92,"_47":93,"_49":94,"_51":95,"_53":96,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":97,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":98,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6472448,"Huber Heights staff seek to remove deed restriction at 8261 State Route 235 to allow Hy Tech vehicle storage as company plans expansion",559,1236000,1795000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5776504-3244552e6f048ddbf400372bf89b545d&start=1236&end=1795","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5776504-3244552e6f048ddbf400372bf89b545d/thumbnail_1236000.jpg","/articles/6472448/Huber-Heights/Montgomery-County/Ohio/Huber-Heights-staff-seek-to-remove-deed-restriction-at-8261-State-Route-235-to-allow-Hy-Tech-vehicle-storage-as-company-plans-expansion","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6472448-95da8e5d773699d4c7d5fac65dde9a70/orig.mp4?Expires=1775631636&Signature=TPQs3d18LVL42nmNcPz8Jz7Q21g7VpDYMzw6~Sad8hPXxtl0NfqRIUbEyIiEjdvHkmmZj5BzCnQbF0tg-iYw3FJboKfXJVVGBKiQFc-agOw~~ZqhXvJkUZSf1y3NjKlDNvu5wRSZ5O15im1YWahek6zV270hAb9UwR3i4wtSepw7AHZzq~KPw94PjZfs~Xeds3daj6LjHaJQ0R2ZdRmOLZCs4UX0ByfB-ntwIvamFwlMQVBK0MkdW6Om1blQpm6W0XnJr~ZM4LzL0jHN~8EI2HpVgP7~7Ph5xOtAPiOCRf06b6ST2OLLIUx2ErqCu0kt4M6Au5VaLSqiMsSat-8HCg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","City staff asked the Huber Heights City Council at its Sept. 16 work session to move forward with an ordinance to remove a deed restriction on 8261 State Route 235 so Hy Tech (referred to in materials as High-tech Industries) can use the rear lot to store fleet vehicles.

An economic development presenter said Hy Tech was founded in 1994, provides environmental and industrial cleaning services across Ohio and northern Kentucky, currently employs 67 people with a payroll of about $4,000,000 and intends to increase employment to roughly 100 employees within one to three years.

The presenter said Hybrid title-search language found a storage-related restrictive covenant on the property that is more restrictive than current I-1 industrial zoning. \"The deed restriction is extremely specific about what can be stored in the lot. It's way more restrictive than our zoning code allows in the I-1 District,\" a city planner said. By removing the restriction, the property would default to existing I-1 zoning rules, which permit fleet vehicle storage in that district subject to code standards.

Council members asked whether the company would bring hazardous materials or on-site treatment to the location. Staff said Hy Tech complies with EPA and other regulatory requirements for disposal and that highway-spill or high-rate-response materials are taken to permitted, regulated treatment locations rather than being handled at the proposed Huber Heights site.

Staff said the ordinance is drafted with an emergency clause so that, if council adopts it, the deed restriction could be removed quickly and not remain a cloud on title. Council agreed to move the ordinance forward to Monday’s meeting for formal consideration with a waiver of second reading to be requested at that time. There was no objection to placing the ordinance on the Monday agenda.

Council members also discussed the economic impact of the company: staff estimated current payroll of about $4 million and cited an approximate current income-tax contribution of $100,000 per year; if Hy Tech realizes its expansion, staff suggested the city could see additional payroll and corporate-tax revenue in future years.

Council did not take final action at the work session; the item will appear on the council meeting agenda for formal consideration.","City staff asked the Huber Heights City Council to advance an ordinance to remove a deed restriction on 8261 State Route 235 so Hy Tech can store fleet vehicles there as it plans to relocate and expand its operations in the city.",{"_33":100,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":101,"_41":102,"_43":103,"_45":104,"_47":105,"_49":106,"_51":107,"_53":108,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":109,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":110,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6472453,"Council reviews expansion plan for 2026 Star-Spangled Carnival; Friday pay-night proposed, Saturday free as in prior years",362,883000,1245000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5776504-3244552e6f048ddbf400372bf89b545d&start=883&end=1245","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5776504-3244552e6f048ddbf400372bf89b545d/thumbnail_883000.jpg","/articles/6472453/Huber-Heights/Montgomery-County/Ohio/Council-reviews-expansion-plan-for-2026-Star-Spangled-Carnival-Friday-pay-night-proposed-Saturday-free-as-in-prior-years","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6472453-94ade835aff4a995afaa3fc211bda52e/orig.mp4?Expires=1775631636&Signature=BQYtTsKJYrE5lVktMTWcur78dCV1fMn0b2Toh~y2ToerOx~egZ~RgXvMgAcT~gb~X-0LS4fmZqrx8111Yz-LChOE8tTyNpkTVdP1k9oe6fNUkY89NzdFP9RgrUx4VXlXrU352Fv8D0ruY4R3LKVzMvdteGYjQiE2th5WZKL9dj~lxdRhZu5xdCHcKs~jhU1tR0m4~W6QQ2VW-4Mr2AEd~8Azye5s-Br01EpDBrU~BPScqvSeO0K76RSdk29vnbENLTfDS~Ue8hpeuRPu-fijW21n~LImp0ZZt5dXTHpWK2~oxU35PyeQ0fv2t2DNp3jOtcUXJWl6CxwaqDeWX78Snw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","City staff asked the Huber Heights City Council at its Sept. 16 work session to advance a contract to expand the 2026 Star-Spangled Carnival in celebration of America 250 and the July Fourth holiday.

The staff presentation said the same contractor from the prior year would operate a larger carnival with four additional major rides, three additional restroom units and more food trailers. The contractor also offered to operate a Friday-night session that would be pay-to-ride via wristbands; Saturday would remain free for attendees, as in recent years.

\"They'll also add 3 more bathhouses and a couple more of the carnival food trailers. And they also have offered to operate on Friday night,\" a city presenter said. \"That will be pay to play on Friday night, but on Saturday, it'll be free as always.\"

Council members pressed staff on safety and security planning given the larger footprint. Councilmember Anita asked when the council would see security measures; staff said an in-depth plan — developed with police and fire — will be presented early in 2026 as the city prepares for the July 4 celebration.

Staff reported the city typically covers ride costs on the Saturday event; the Friday session would be an optional, wristband-based paid session. Staff did not have a final wristband price; they said the operator usually sets that fee. The city also provided attendance figures from this year: \"We had over 20,000 people in the park, at firework time,\" staff said, with daytime attendance around 5,000–6,000 coming and going.

Councilmembers said they supported progressing the contract to the Monday meeting for consideration and emphasized the need for a finalized security plan before the event.

The council agreed to move the contract forward for Monday’s agenda so members can review the contract language and later hear the security plan.","City staff proposed a larger 2026 carnival for the America 250 weekend: four additional large rides, more vendor trailers, an extra night of paid access on Friday and the traditional free Saturday.

Chapman said the commission received 31 unique nominations this year for its lawn-beautification awards, up from 19 in 2024, and that businesses who won awards promoted the city’s program on social media. \"We received 31 unique nominations,\" Chapman said. \"We are definitely going to do it again.\"

The commission plans to move its annual art show to May and relocate it to the senior center to increase visibility and parking. Chapman said the change aligns the show with America 250 activities and gives the commission more time to advertise the event.

The commission asked the council to include $11,000 in the 2026 budget to cover communications, marketing and program costs. Chapman said the ask covers the commission’s planned activities for the year.

The commission also said it gave full support to a Parks and Recreation grant application to remove Bradford pear trees from public lands and would run a parallel public-awareness campaign if the grant is awarded. \"If that is approved, we, the citizen commission, committed we would run a parallel campaign for citizen awareness,\" Chapman said. In a follow-up exchange, a city representative said a recently applied-for grant would total about $100,000 and, if awarded, would remove a significant portion of identified Bradford pears south of Taylorsville.

Commissioners described a replacement strategy that would plant two native trees for every Bradford pear removed and favor a diverse mix of species — including redbuds and dogwoods in flowering locations and larger shade trees such as maples and oaks in parks — to reduce future vulnerability to pests or disease.

Chapman said the commission will also draft basic policies and procedures this fall and winter to standardize how donated or city-owned artworks are handled going forward; Huber Heights currently has no formal art-policy binder, she said.

Greg Fox, a commission member, and other council members praised the commission’s outreach and urged the council to assist in recruiting volunteers: the commission currently has four vacancies and is operating at minimum quorum.

The commission concluded by saying it will return with a formal budget request and additional program proposals during the city’s regular budget process.","The Arts and Beautification Commission told the Huber Heights City Council it received more lawn-beautification nominations this year, will move its annual art show to May at the senior center, seeks an $11,000 2026 budget allocation and supported a Parks & Rec grant to remove Bradford pears with a 2-for-1 native-tree replacement plan.","actionData","errors"]
