Votes at a glance
- Resolution 23-2025 — License to Brown Baseball and Softball Program, Inc.: Approved. Authorized the city manager to execute a license for the Huron Baseball and Softball program to use Andrew L. Fabens Memorial Park baseball fields 1–7 and the concession stand for the 2025 season. The agreement covers April 1–July 25 for fields and extends concession stand use through Oct. 1 for additional events. Estimated fees in the contract total approximately $4,000, including a participant fee of $5 per youth (the presenter said last year’s participation was 280, producing $1,400), a county health permit fee of $520, a $400 storage-shed lease, and a $1,000 fee to lease a field groomer.
- Resolution 204-2025 — Greater Sandusky Partnership Lakefront Market agreement: Approved. Authorized the city manager to enter an agreement with the Greater Sandusky Partnership to hold the Lakefront Market at Lakefront Park on Saturday, June 7, from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. The facility rental fee is $500 for the day; the draft agreement retains liquor-permit language though organizers had not committed to serving alcohol. The event historically requested day-of road closures on Wall, Williams and Center streets.
- Resolution 205-2025 — Purchase of Parks truck (Matthews Ford Marion): Approved. Authorized Parks & Recreation to purchase a 2024 Ford Super Duty regular-cab XL (to replace an older F-250) for an amount not to exceed $51,470; the purchase was listed in the 2025 capital equipment budget. Staff said the vehicle will be auctioned via GovDeals when surplus.
- Resolution 26-2025 — Acceptance of TIRRC recommendations: Approved. Council accepted the Tax Incentive Review Council’s recommendations to continue 10 tax abatements and the Rye Beach and Sawmill Creek TIFs; the ConAgra TIF was noted in the reporting materials though it is not yet in effect and will return for separate action.
- Appointment to Board of Zoning Appeals: Approved. Chris Harlan was appointed to complete the unexpired term of Lisa Brady through Dec. 31, 2025.
- Acceptance of City Manager resignation: Approved. Council accepted the resignation of Matthew Lasko as city manager, effective April 18, 2025 at 11:59 p.m.
- Interim City Manager appointment (Resolution 20-27): Approved. Council authorized the appointment of Stuart Hamilton as interim city manager through Dec. 31, 2025, at an interim rate cited in the record of $128,000 per year; staff said terms mirror the outgoing employment contract for administrative continuity.
Nut graf: Several of the votes were routine facility, event and procurement approvals intended to support 2025 programming and operations; two personnel items (the city manager’s resignation and appointment of an interim manager) were the most consequential administrative moves recorded on March 25.
Ending: Council scheduled follow-ups and second readings where required; several items (notably the ConAgra TIF and sign-code technical edits) will return to future agendas.
