The presiding officer read the second reading of Resolution 12-2025, described in the agenda as a resolution to approve a contract with RWB Properties and Construction for stabilization work at the North College Hill City Center and to declare an urgent necessity under Ohio Revised Code section 735.051. The item was read aloud but no adoption vote was recorded.
When a council member sought discussion on the item, another member or the presiding officer noted that discussion was not on the agenda. The council then moved to adjourn; Miss Chichester made a motion to adjourn, which Mister Wilson seconded, and the roll call vote recorded five affirmative votes (Miss Chichester, Miss Alexander, Mister Wilson, Mister Davis, Miss Underwood). Because the meeting ended without action on Resolution 12-2025, the contract approval and the emergency declaration were not finalized in this session.
Why it matters: The resolution, if adopted, would approve a stabilization contract for the North College Hill City Center and invoke Ohio Revised Code section 735.051 to declare the contract an urgent necessity and an emergency under state law. Invoking that statute can accelerate procurement or emergency repair authorities; however, the council took no final action on the resolution during this meeting.
Details: The resolution was cited as Resolution 12-2025 and named RWB Properties and Construction as the contractor. The statutory citation given in the agenda text was Ohio Revised Code section 735.051. No contract amounts, timelines, or implementation steps were discussed in the meeting record. The council adjourned before taking any formal vote on the resolution.
