Wilmington City Council on Tuesday passed a package of ordinances and resolutions covering a donated parcel, supplemental appropriations, traffic signal work, building-permit fee revisions and other routine matters.
Ordinance 25-28, accepting about 0.05 acres near Creekview Subdivision from Creekview Project 1 LLC for a lift station, passed after a motion by Councilman Wells and a second by Councilman Tolliver. The roll call was recorded in favor, and the ordinance was adopted.
Resolution 25-23, amending the agreement between the city and the Ohio Department of Transportation for snow- and ice-removal within city corporate limits, passed after suspension of rules for second and third readings.
Ordinance 25-32, making supplemental appropriations, passed. Council discussed three items in workshop: two items funded from the taxi fund for facility maintenance and a study for water-plant filtration rehabilitation. Councilman Osborne moved the ordinance; it passed after roll call.
Resolution 25-24, authorizing advertising for bids and contracting for the 2025 Rombach Avenue traffic-signal removal project, passed following a motion by Osborne and a second by Tolliver.
Ordinance 25-31, amending Part 13 (building code) to revise the building permit fee schedule for fire alarms, passed after council suspended the rules and adopted the ordinance. Council members said the fee changes respond to active projects and concern that current fees could discourage development; the measure was described as necessary to keep business activity moving.
Ordinance 25-29, which would amend section 9.27.25 regarding access and tap fees, received second reading only and will return for a third reading at a future meeting. Council members asked for an additional reading before final passage.
Separately, Council also adopted Resolution 25-25 authorizing council to hire additional legal counsel (reported in a separate item).
Ending: Council approved several operational and capital-related measures to advance city infrastructure work; one fee change remains pending further review.
