Council adopts resolution backing State Issue 2, introduces sale of Brookway Lane parcel
Summary
Brooklyn City Council on April 14 adopted a resolution in support of State Issue 2 by emergency measure and held a first reading on a resolution to sell a vacant city parcel on Brookway Lane after a Committee of the Whole presentation.
The Brooklyn City Council on April 14 unanimously adopted a resolution supporting State Issue 2, the renewal of Ohio's State Capital Improvement Program, and introduced a separate resolution on first reading to sell a vacant city parcel on Brookway Lane.
Council adopted the State Issue 2 resolution by suspending the usual rules because of the upcoming May 6 primary. The measure passed on a roll-call voice vote with all councilmembers recorded as voting yes: Erin Borowski, Kevin Tanski, Sue Grodick, Kathy Pucci, Steven Coil, Andy Sellhertz and Matt Mosley.
The council also heard a Committee of the Whole report on Resolution 2025-8, which would authorize the mayor to enter an agreement to sell a vacant city property on Brookway Lane (permanent parcel number 430-120-135). According to the presentation in committee, the parcel was appraised at $12,000 and the prospective buyers, identified in committee as Yaz and Mr. Hirsch, plan to build a single-family home on the lot. Resolution 2025-8 was presented on first reading; no final council vote on the sale occurred at the meeting.
Director Butler provided background to the Committee of the Whole report, noting the appraisal and the buyers' plans to build a single-family residence. Council recorded the introduction of Resolution 2025-8 and advanced the State Issue 2 resolution under emergency procedures so the city could publicly register its support before the May 6 election.
