The Newark City Council voted unanimously to adopt Resolution 25-45, an appropriation measure for current municipal expenses, after waiving the meeting's two-day rule. Council President Mister Marmee moved to waive the two-day rule; Mister Barker seconded the motion. The roll call vote on waiving the rule was recorded as 10-0 in favor. The subsequent motion to adopt Resolution 25-45, moved by Council President Marmee and seconded by Mister Barker, also passed on a 10-0 roll call.

The council earlier adopted Resolution 25-39, described in the agenda as a resolution "separating monies for current expenses of the Municipal Corporation." A motion to adopt Resolution 25-39 (moved by Mister Marmey and seconded by Mister Barker) passed on a 10-0 roll call earlier in the meeting.

Several ordinance and resolution items were not acted on today and were held to the council's next regular meeting on July 21. Held items announced on the agenda included Ordinance 25-18 (amending portions of Newark's zoning code), Ordinance 25-20 (accepting additional right of way at West Main Street and South Eleventh Street), Ordinance 25-21 (accepting additional right of way at Mount Vernon Road and Water Works Road), Resolution 25-42 (application to the Licking Park District government partnership program), Resolution 25-43 (applications to the Ohio Department of Public Safety Edward Byrne JAG funding), and Resolution 25-44 (a Community Development Block Grant subrecipient agreement for Newark's FY2025 CDBG one-year action plan). Council members announced those items would be held until July 21.

The meeting record shows the council followed standard roll-call procedure for both adopted resolutions; the transcript does not specify the dollar amounts appropriated under Resolution 25-45 or the specific line items affected. The council clerk (referred to in the meeting as Amy) called the roll for the recorded votes.

What happened next: the council closed its formal agenda business and moved to final public comments and member remarks before adjourning. The council reiterated that several measures will return on July 21 for further consideration.
