Chillicothe council adopts roof-repair appropriation, removes agenda item; several measures move to next agenda
Summary
At its March 10 meeting the Chillicothe City Council adopted an emergency ordinance to appropriate $276,050.65 for roof repairs at city property, voted to remove one levy-related item from the agenda, and moved a slate of other items to future agendas.
Chillicothe City Council on March 10 adopted an emergency ordinance appropriating $276,050.65 received from the Public Entities Pool of Ohio for roof repairs at city-owned property at 400 East Seventh Street.
The ordinance (agenda item 1) passed by roll call; each member present voted yes. Acting President Payne called the roll during the vote; council members recorded as voting yes in the transcript were Bennett, Payne, Barnes, McKeever, DeMent, Preston, Prowl, and Creed.
Council also voted to remove agenda item 11 (a proposed renewal of a 0.2% street-paving levy slated for the November ballot) from the agenda; that motion passed unanimously by recorded yes votes. Earlier in the meeting Payne successfully moved to waive the three-day receipt rule so materials could be considered that were delivered less than three days before the meeting (motion by Payne, seconded by McKeever; roll-call yes votes recorded in transcript).
Committee-level decisions noted on the record: the Engineering Committee reported unanimous support to appropriate $96,000 to demolish fire-damaged, uninsured properties the committee described as presenting a “serious hazard.” That funding request was described in committee but was not adopted as a stand-alone ordinance during the March 10 council floor session; it was listed as committee action supporting future agenda consideration.
A number of items were advanced to future agendas (moved to the next agenda) at the council’s request, including resolutions and second readings concerning Ohio Public Works Commission grants, ODOT resurfacing and traffic-controller purchases, federal transit and bus-facility grant applications, Community Development Block Grant administration, Appalachian Community Grant Program fund creation and acceptance (agenda item 10), and others. Several appropriation items were listed on the agenda for second or first readings (including a $20,000 appropriations item for Assistance House and a $37,517.03 attorney general reimbursement for police training) and were moved to the next meeting for further consideration.
Ending: The meeting closed after routine business and roll-call votes; council adjourned after taking the actions above and placing most contested or complex items on future agendas for further committee review.
