Council advances alley‑vacation petitions; conveyance to Seneca County Land Reutilization Corp. at second reading
Summary
Council adopted an ordinance vacating an unnamed alley in the Third Ward, heard a second reading for a Fourth Ward alley vacation, and took a second reading on conveying city land near Ohio Avenue to the Seneca County Land Reutilization Corporation.
The Fostoria City Council moved forward on several property matters affecting city‑owned alleys and a parcel near Ohio Avenue.
Council adopted an ordinance vacating an unnamed alley in the Third Ward under the codified ordinances (sections 911.01–911.02), carrying the measure as ordinance number 2025‑55 after a roll‑call vote. Councilmember Lehman moved to adopt and Councilmember Podak seconded; the clerk recorded yes votes from Lehman, Podak, Cassidy, Baker and Grine.
A separate petition to vacate an unnamed alley in the Fourth Ward received a second reading. Council clarified that many of the city’s alleys are legally unnamed — language used for legal descriptions — and staff said they will try to include nearby intersections in future notices to reduce public confusion.
Separately, the council gave a second reading to a resolution authorizing the director of public service and safety to convey a parcel near Ohio Avenue to the Seneca County Land Reutilization Corporation. That item remained at second reading and did not receive a final vote at the meeting.
