Key outcomes recorded in the meeting transcript:

- Ordinance 037-25 (on-street parking updates): Council introduced and approved an amendment to the city's on-street parking schedule (changes affecting Old School Drive and Claremont Avenue). Motion and second were recorded and the roll call showed affirmative votes from the members present.

- Resolution 040-25 (collective bargaining agreement with IAFF Local 3363): Council approved a three-year agreement covering Jan. 1, 2026 through Dec. 31, 2028 and authorized the city manager to execute it; council recorded affirmative roll-call votes.

- Efficiency Smart: Council directed the law director to draft legislation to consider entering a new agreement with Efficiency Smart; staff recalled a presentation on Sept. 15 and gave an estimated typical program cost of about $19,000 per month tied to the city's monthly AMP bill.

- AMP board representation: A councilmember requested designation as the city's representative to the AMP board with Kevin named alternate; council approved the designation.

- Budget review schedule: Council set Nov. 7 and Nov. 8, 2025 as dates for the annual budget review sessions.

- Trick-or-Treat: Council approved Napoleon Trick or Treat on Oct. 30, 2025, 6:00–7:30 p.m., per the Parks Board recommendation.

- Directives to draft contracts: Council directed the law director to draft legislation for a city police contract (city manager presented draft request) and later directed drafting of the ASCI contract.

- Administrative items: The council recorded that the elector committee meeting on Oct. 13 would be canceled if there were no agenda items; payment of bills and approval of minutes were handled without objection.

Most motions recorded in the transcript received unanimous affirmative roll-call votes from councilmembers present; the transcript does not record dissenting votes on these items.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","City Council Meeting October 6 2025 | Napoleon, Ohio","oneSentenceSummary","At its Oct. 6 meeting the Napoleon City Council approved a set of routine and administrative items, including parking ordinance updates, a three-year firefighters' contract, scheduling the annual budget review and several staff directives.","taxTitle","Napoleon City Council, Napoleon, Henry County, Ohio","taxId",72210,"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},5966645,"Council introduces changes to electrical service rules to account for remote reconnects",90,208000,298000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5899509-cec1ce5e0e32997f94d110634e20fb02&start=208&end=298","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5899509-cec1ce5e0e32997f94d110634e20fb02/thumbnail_208000.jpg","/articles/5966645/Ohio/Council-introduces-changes-to-electrical-service-rules-to-account-for-remote-reconnects","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/5966645-8a8c3a1190ad9d49815afae78b57be4a/orig.mp4?Expires=1770925362&Signature=KSMtdwztNqM1RIwtiYO950z~hzJT~srScD1wD2bYVooFkTzjaE1nmLsOszyNITn8XvakkIUcc3d3nfJlQSuWAsChA9CO1jbzZvc-lZsmG05aszHPckY6~kFPl1SOms0qhwATiNrb7pnbCY3eurUoZ85eaxxSR5DCO5-xkvGxMvA9P~-uKqpWBzoZEIEIT3KMQraTrxmoYH6jfhNcOaFy~7C979ZF-m5mT5Wg~6S47ctNuK~k9ZnsFdRK64XKBW2sTpWehnkAiex3c5p8ewGRsYypZiK0IhmJKj8siWzG-b401yKaZor1oG1GBCpzAyjICGmao1lN1BFRZk1caFnPDw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Napoleon City Council introduced Ordinance 038-25 on Oct. 6, 2025, to amend the city's rules governing the sale of electrical service (including Rule 12 and Rule 26, Appendix A) to clarify charges related to reconnections and disconnections now possible through advanced metering infrastructure (AMI).

City utilities staff told the council the revisions are intended to make reconnection and disconnection charges consistent whether the meter is serviced remotely or by a technician on site; the draft also adds electronic mail as an acceptable method of notice when customers opt in. Utilities staff said reconnection fees will still apply for remotely completed reconnects, but the ordinance clarifies that a separate \"trip\" charge will not be assessed when no physical visit is made. The staffer also explained the city will continue to require permission or a signed waiver to reconnect service when no one is home.

Council members asked about safety protocols for remote reconnects and whether the city would still send a worker to verify conditions before power is restored. Utilities staff replied the current rules require someone to be home for reconnections; if the customer cannot be present the city obtains a signed waiver. Staff said the amendments create a consistent fee structure across customers with and without AMI capability.

Council moved and seconded the ordinance introduction and asked that it proceed through the standard three readings. The council called the roll and recorded affirmative votes from the members present.

The ordinance was introduced for consideration; no final adoption was recorded in the transcript on Oct. 6. Further readings and any vote for final passage will be scheduled per the council's regular ordinance calendar.","The Napoleon City Council introduced Ordinance 038-25 to amend rules on sale of electrical service, clarifying reconnection and disconnection charges for advanced metering/remote operations and allowing electronic notice; council voted to move the measure through readings.",{"_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},5966642,"Council approves emergency application for OEPA loan to design Maumee River waterline crossing",157,455000,612000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5899509-cec1ce5e0e32997f94d110634e20fb02&start=455&end=612","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5899509-cec1ce5e0e32997f94d110634e20fb02/thumbnail_455000.jpg","/articles/5966642/Ohio/Council-approves-emergency-application-for-OEPA-loan-to-design-Maumee-River-waterline-crossing","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/5966642-a9d76c06da644d18a5400145695f6147/orig.mp4?Expires=1770925362&Signature=kKxRndyA~zQ6x1qljwdRXlHA4Xt0lFbkm4X3hrCsl8rHHNO2BUMbSzkTvkJ0Lw7d5ATrBeLEoe297Xb9CHTPhurERAdKmeYsCMEyj1gVJ-XUB4zxOhd7ZSUkATKFqlQN7Z-KrJve3hpSSGRFpnm-5upvJVeL8WKjZ~lIvVZjGEqTS43ff8dy7irmQ7HVsDNTBnOd9TgsdN-GYhOUeOSATmAzicHvvACBQkNfChEwLcZK7mzg4nPg~5fa32CvwOO3zOSlViV29YIb-MQoS6FYOtUOnw8guJesfgM6unyw7zN6M4je-d9GoAru~oDi6WljWoCjS7ae-EPKKqW1LxTc9w__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Napoleon City Council on Oct. 6 passed Resolution 039-25 authorizing the city manager to apply for and accept Ohio Environmental Protection Agency (OEPA) Water Supply Revolving Loan Account (WSRLA) funding for the Maumee River waterline crossing project, and designating a dedicated prepayment source for the loan. Council voted to suspend the rules and act on an emergency basis to meet a program deadline.

Chad, the city engineer, told the council the application is for the design portion of the project only and that the city has used the OEPA WSRLA program for past projects. He said design costs are approximately $436,000 and that historically the program has offered very low interest rates (in his words, \"between 0 and less than 1%\" for past projects). Chad said the city would apply later for construction funding after plans are complete; if construction bids come in lower than an initial estimate the city would not be required to take the full authorized amount.

Chad said the city was notified of the program deadline in September and requested the emergency suspension to meet the Oct. 15 deadline. Council moved, seconded and approved the suspension and first reading by roll call.

The resolution as approved on Oct. 6 authorizes the city manager to execute the documents necessary to apply for and accept WSRLA funding for the Maumee River crossing design; it does not record any final construction funding authorization in the transcript.","The council approved Resolution 039-25 to apply for Ohio EPA WSRLA funding for design of a Maumee River waterline crossing, authorizing the city manager to execute documents and designating a prepayment source; the city engineer said the design cost is about $436,000 and cited an Oct. 15 application deadline.","actionData","errors"]
