Council reviews surplus property resolution, transit grant award and $1.65 million notes ordinance
Summary
The Wilmington City Council's finance committee reported three items: a resolution to declare surplus property, an authorization to apply for ODOT transportation funding tied to five awarded transit vehicles, and an ordinance authorizing issuance of notes not to exceed $1,650,000 for landfill expansion work.
The Wilmington City Council received a finance committee report on three items the committee placed on the agenda: a resolution declaring surplus property, authorization to apply for state transportation funding tied to transit vehicles, and an ordinance to issue notes up to $1,650,000 to cover landfill expansion financing.
Mr. Osborne, chair of the Finance Committee, introduced Resolution 25-04, "declaring surplus property," identifying six items including vehicles and 21 phones from the police department. Council members raised no discussion at the time the item was read; the transcript does not record a roll-call vote or final disposition for the resolution.
Mr. McKay addressed Resolution 25-05, which would authorize the city to apply for funding through the Ohio Department of Transportation’s Ohio Transportation Partnership Program (OTPP) and discussed a Transit Development Credit (TDC) award the city received. McKay said the city had been awarded five vehicles so far and was awaiting state confirmation on additional units: "There will be we are we have been awarded 5 vehicles for sure," McKay said. He described a mix of vehicle types under consideration, including modified minivans, and said city staff planned to inspect available vehicles the next day. Council members asked why staff had not been notified earlier that the award was on the books; McKay said the award stemmed from earlier applications and that prior administration actions and timing contributed to the late notice.
The council also discussed Ordinance 25-13, authorizing the issuance of notes not to exceed $1,650,000. Oliver Vance addressed the ordinance and described it as a routine, recurring step the city takes to fund landfill expansions: "As we keep going through the phases at the landfill, as we're doing the expansions, as we move through those, we're doing the issuance of this debt, and then paying it off in a timely manner," Vance said. He invited council questions; none were offered. The transcript records no final vote or tally on the ordinance during the meeting.
Minutes and staff remarks indicate the items were presented and discussed but do not record final outcomes for the three pieces of legislation in the available transcript. Council members noted the need for follow-up on vehicle selection and state confirmation for additional transit units and asked staff to return with more detail where appropriate.
Votes at a glance: the transcript names Resolution 25-04 (surplus property), Resolution 25-05 (ODOT OTPP/transit vehicle authorization) and Ordinance 25-13 (issuance of notes, up to $1,650,000). The transcript does not include roll-call vote tallies or final outcomes for those items; where a final vote is not recorded, outcome is listed as "not specified."
