Moraine Council approves pavement‑striping contract, police video fee policy, planning‑commission appointment and propane donation
Summary
At its April 24 meeting the Moraine City Council unanimously approved a $50,456.82 pavement‑striping contract, adopted a police video records fee policy authorized by Ohio law, confirmed a planning commission appointment and accepted an equipment and propane donation from Apollo Propane.
Moraine City Council on April 24, 2025, unanimously approved four items added to the agenda: a contract award for the city's 2025 pavement‑striping program, a resolution adopting a cost‑recovery policy for law enforcement video records, the appointment of Steven Noel to the Planning Commission, and acceptance of a donated supply tank and propane from Apollo Propane.
The most substantial action was the award of the pavement‑striping contract to First Star Safety LLC for $50,456.82. The council approved the contract as a budgeted item and authorized the city manager to execute the agreement and any needed change orders. The resolution description in the meeting packet identifies the work as the 02/2025 pavement‑striping program and lists the contract total as $50,456.82.
The council also approved a video record preparation cost‑recovery policy for law‑enforcement video records. The Law Director told the council that under state law, "House Bill 315 now allows jurisdictions to charge for public records requests related to those videos ... at the rate of $75 per hour with a $750 cap." The records commission and the police chief recommended the policy, and the council voted to add the resolution to the agenda and then to approve it.
Council members voted to add and approve a resolution appointing Steven Noel to the Planning Commission. The item was added to the agenda following an earlier executive session to consider a commission appointment and carried on roll call.
The council also accepted a donation from Apollo Propane of a supply tank and propane, and several attendees and staff publicly thanked Apollo for the contribution during the meeting.
The finance director reported two routine items earlier in the meeting: the city's annual Citi credit card report (required by the State of Ohio) and the March finance report. The finance director said, "We received a check in the amount of $10,001.38 from the Third Bank for a credit card program," and reported that through March the city had completed 25% of the fiscal year, with expenses at about 21% of budget and revenues at about 21% of budget, slightly under expectations because of property tax timing.
All four resolutions were approved on roll call votes with each council member recorded as voting yes.
