Council adopts ordinance to acquire parcels for Ralston Avenue roundabout; votes recorded
Summary
The Defiance City Council voted on June 3 to authorize property acquisitions and temporary easements for the Ralston Avenue roundabout and pedestrian project, approving the ordinance by recorded vote after a council motion to adopt.
The Defiance City Council on June 3 adopted an ordinance authorizing acquisition of portions of parcel numbers 16 and 18 in the Wooded Acres Estates to construct the Ralston Avenue roundabout and pedestrian improvements.
Mister Mack presented the ordinance as the first set of property acquisitions needed to move the roundabout and pedestrian project forward, saying part of parcel 16 will become right-of-way and other interests are temporary easements for ingress and egress during construction.
Council member Engel moved to adopt the ordinance and Council member Mast seconded. During roll call the council recorded unanimous votes in favor: Oreste, Mast, Wexler, Krotch, Engel, Corbett, Hancock and Rusty were each recorded as voting yes, and the ordinance was declared adopted.
The ordinance was presented by caption and declared an emergency; the council also separately moved the authorizing order and then voted to adopt, enabling staff to proceed with property transactions necessary for the roundabout right-of-way and construction access.
Less-critical details: maps showing the specific parcel portions were available in the council packet and on the dais during the meeting; participants asked clarifying questions about park proximity and parcel orientation during presentation.
