Council approves electric aggregation resolution and advances several ordinances to second reading; two liquor applications accepted without comment
Summary
Council approved a master supply agreement for the city’s electric aggregation program, moved three ordinances (vacating Eastside Drive, transferring 54.5 acres to the Beavercreek Development Corporation, and others) to second reading, and accepted two liquor permit matters without comment.
At its March 20 meeting, Beavercreek City Council approved Resolution 25‑07 authorizing the city manager to enter a master supply agreement for the city’s electric aggregation program and advanced several ordinances to a second reading.
Electric aggregation: Daniel Deters of Energy Alliances briefed council on the upcoming supplier bid. Council authorized the city manager to execute a supply contract within negotiated parameters. Staff said the program has saved local customers millions since 2018 but noted current energy markets and capacity charges have raised short‑term prices; staff will compare suppliers’ bids to the utility price before finalizing any contract term and will return to council if market conditions change.
Vacate Eastside Drive (Ordinance 25‑06): Council held a public hearing and, with no public comment, voted to move the ordinance vacating a portion of Eastside Drive to a second reading. Staff said the vacation facilitates access and grading for an adjacent office parcel under construction and that topography makes future extension unlikely.
Transfer to Beavercreek Development Corporation (Ordinance 25‑08): Council held a public hearing and advanced an ordinance transferring roughly 54.5 acres at Grange Hall Road and Shakertown Road to the Beavercreek Development Corporation (BDC) for marketing and economic development. The property - bought for a city stormwater project - was declared surplus after the project’s completion and will be marketed by the BDC under an existing agreement.
Liquor permits: Council accepted two liquor matters without comment — a new liquor permit application for Blue Wave Seafood & Pho at 2733 Fairfield Commons Unit A and a stock transfer for Giordano’s at 2819 Center Drive — after staff reported background checks raised no concerns.
Other procedural items: Council also moved Ordinance 25‑07 (the Valvoline rezoning) and Ordinance 25‑02 (PUD25‑1 rezoning) to second readings; these items will return to council for final action. Council emphasized that second readings provide time for additional technical review and resident input where needed.
