Moraine City Council on March 27, 2025, approved a slate of routine ordinances and resolutions covering codified ordinance updates, short-term farm leases of city-owned acreage, a budgeted vehicle purchase and annual report acceptances. All items on this slate passed by recorded roll call with affirmative votes from councilmembers present, except where noted in individual entries.

What passed (highlights):
- Ordinance 2179-25: Approving replacement pages to the Moraine codified ordinances through Jan. 1, 2025; declared an emergency and adopted at second reading.
- Ordinance 2180-25: Authorizing a farm lease with Mark Allison for city-owned property, annual payment $110; emergency declaration and adoption at second reading.
- Ordinance 2181-25: Authorizing a farm lease with Chip Getter for 24.24 acres of city-owned property, annual payment $4,560; emergency declaration and adoption at second reading.
- Resolution 8141-25: Authorizing the city manager to sign a land-use permit agreement with the Miami Conservancy District (permit number referenced in the agenda) for Holtz Creek; approved.
- Resolution 8143-25: Authorizing purchase of a 2025 Ford Transit 350 high-roof cargo van from Lebanon Ford for the building maintenance division at a price of $64,023; approved as a budgeted replacement.
- Resolution 8144-25: Accepting the annual report of the Community Reinvestment Housing Council (CRHC); approved.
- Resolution 8145-25: Accepting the 2024 annual Tax Incentive Review Council (TIRC) report; approved.

Votes at a glance: each item was adopted by roll call. For the ordinances authorizing emergency adoption and lease agreements, roll calls recorded affirmative votes from the councilmembers present; no recorded no votes were recorded for these items. The one exception among agenda items that evening was Resolution 8142-25 (the Montgomery County solid waste plan), which the council approved while Mayor Murphy cast a recorded no vote (covered in a separate article).

Why it matters: The approved farm leases authorize continued agricultural use of city-owned property and generate small annual lease revenues to the city ($110 and $4,560). The vehicle purchase replaces a high-mileage van used by building maintenance; the cost was budgeted. Acceptance of the CRHC and TIRC annual reports satisfies statutory and administrative requirements to document community reinvestment and tax-incentive reviews.

Meeting procedure: Many of the ordinances were presented as emergency measures with motions to suspend rules and proceed to second reading and adoption in the same meeting; council followed standard roll-call procedure for each item.

- Ordinance 2179-25 (codified pages): Motion to suspend rules and adopt; recorded roll-call vote: yes 6; no 0; outcome: approved as emergency legislation.
