Twinsburg council places several ordinances on first reading, including sewer rates and parking changes
Summary
At its May 13 meeting the council placed multiple ordinances on first reading: sewer rate adjustments, a Public Works director title change, a rezoning application for 9392 Ravenna Road, updates to the occupancy program, CIC funding changes, and a proposed parking code amendment.
Twinsburg City Council placed several ordinances and one resolution on the agenda for first reading on May 13, moving multiple items to future consideration rather than voting for final passage.
The items read into the record included: - Ordinance 47-20-25: amends Chapter 9.11 of the Codified Ordinances to provide for adjustments to quarterly charges for the Twinsburg sanitary sewer system (first reading). - Ordinance 48-20-25: amends Chapter 9.13 to change the position title from Public Works Director to Director of Wastewater Treatment (first reading). - Ordinance 49-20-25: rezones property at 9392 Ravenna Road (Parcel 64-00096) from C-2 commercial to I-1 intensive commercial and light industrial (first reading). - Ordinance 50-20-25: amends Chapter 1.95 (Twinsburg occupancy program) regarding eligibility and administrative provisions (first reading). - Ordinance 52-20-25: proposes amending Ordinance 1.53-20-13 to eliminate the Twinsburg Community Improvement Corporation's funding through the transient guest tax and to remove the CIC's responsibility to process applications and monitor the city's Community Reinvestment Area and occupancy programs (first reading). - Ordinance 53-20-25: amends Chapter 3.51 (parking generally) to ban overnight on-street parking in residential districts, ban parking on the fire hydrant side of residential streets, and ban on-street parking during snow emergencies (first reading).
No final votes on these ordinances occurred; most were entered as first readings for later consideration. The city clerk read the ordinance titles into the record. One ordinance (52-20-25) was discussed in associated departmental remarks during other agenda reports: an Architectural Review Board member noted the CIC will refocus on grants and downtown beautification and that the city will stop using transient guest tax funding for CIC operations as previously done. The transcript records that the CIC’s role will shift toward grant-making and downtown beautification and that the city can revisit funding requests once the grant program begins.
