MORAINE, Ohio — At its July 10 meeting the Moraine City Council received routine reports praising the July 4 celebration, an update on new city signs and the mayor's court monthly financial report for May 2025.

A Parks & Recreation speaker thanked staff and vendors for a well‑attended July 4 event. Councilmembers echoed appreciation for the fireworks, food trucks and city departments that supported the event.

City Planner Nick Suresi reported the city installed 33 new signs across town — 19 on the west side and 14 on the east — and thanked WILFAB and Insignia for design and installation. "All the old signs have been replaced," he said, and the east and west sections were completed in late June and July 1–2.

Mayor Murphy provided the mayor's court report for May 2025. The gross revenues for mayor's court were $17,816.02; after expenses and disbursements, $13,203.19 was deposited into the general fund, the mayor reported.

Councilmembers used the reports to thank staff and to float early planning ideas for next year's events, including noting the nation's 250th anniversary in 2026 as a possible theme for future programming.
