Summary
City Council adopted Resolution 25-51 establishing a revitalization district designation pursuant to the Ohio Revised Code; the public hearing opened and closed with no public speakers and the resolution passed on a 10-0 roll call.
The Newark City Council adopted Resolution 25-51, establishing a revitalization district designation pursuant to Ohio Revised Code section 4301.81, after a brief public hearing with no public comments. Council member Koss moved to adopt the resolution, and Council member Houser seconded; the roll call recorded a unanimous vote in favor.
The public hearing was opened for Resolution 25-51 and the chair asked if anyone wished to speak for or against the measure; no speakers came forward and the hearing was closed before the council proceeded to a vote.
Why it matters: a revitalization district designation may enable specific local incentives or regulatory treatments under the cited state statute; the resolution was adopted by unanimous council vote at this meeting.
Vote and procedure: Council member Koss made the motion to adopt; Council member Houser seconded. Roll call recorded the following votes in favor: Labutas, Marney, Neely, Rapp, Rhine, Barker, Blume, Schuh, Koss and Hauser. The meeting transcript records the resolution as passed with a tally of 10 yes, 0 no.
The resolution text was read aloud twice as part of the statutory hearing and adoption process; the file shows no public comments were made on the record during the hearing.
Next steps and limits: the resolution creates the district designation as adopted by council; any subsequent actions (such as incentives, development agreements, or implementation measures) would require separate council proceedings or administrative steps and are not described in this meeting record.
