Council approves multiple ordinances, resolutions and contracts in unanimous votes
Summary
At its February meeting the Greenwood Common Council approved several ordinances and resolutions by unanimous roll calls or voice votes, approved community grants and a reappointment, and recorded the formal withdrawal of one annexation petition.
The Greenwood Common Council approved multiple ordinances, resolutions and contracts at its regular meeting, with most measures passing unanimous roll calls or by voice vote.
Several routine and substantive items moved forward on second readings or were adopted after council action, including public-safety and budget items, agreements with neighboring jurisdictions and contract payments to local organizations.
The measures matter because they set near-term budget priorities, update local fees and staffing authorizations, and resolve a pending annexation petition that the council withdrew. The approvals affect public-safety staffing, a restricted opioid settlement appropriation and municipal fee schedules, among other items.
Actions recorded by the council included: a $5,000 grant and contract to the Greenwood Community Band (approved by motion), a reappointment to the fire merit commission (voice approval), adoption or passage on second reading of multiple ordinances and resolutions (see list below), approval of a $50,000 annual contract with a local social services organization, and formal withdrawal of an annexation-related fiscal-plan resolution.
Votes and formal outcomes at a glance: - Greenwood Community Band contract – Motion to approve $5,000 total (split between council and mayoral office) was moved by a council member and seconded; council announced unanimous approval. (Mover and seconder as recorded in minutes: “Mr. William” and “Mr. Moe.”)
- Resolution 25-01 (annexation fiscal plan) – Petition withdrawn on the council floor after a council member said the annexation was not moving forward. Motion to withdraw was made and seconded; the council voted to withdraw the resolution.
- Resolution 25-02 (interlocal agreement for fire protection with Pleasant Township, Johnson County) – Passed on second reading by roll call (recorded 9–0).

- Ordinance 25-08 (comprehensive fee schedule updates: planning/building permits, right-of-way/inspection fees, false-alarm fees, and related fee changes) – Introduced and discussed; plan commission provided a unanimous recommendation. No final adoption vote is recorded in the meeting transcript.
- Contract with local social-services organization (annual contract, $50,000 total: $25,000 from mayor’s office and $25,000 from the council) – Motion to approve carried; the minutes record approval with a council roll-call notation described as passing with one abstention noted in the record as an abstention/exception (the transcript logs the result ambiguously; minutes indicate the contract was approved).
- Reappointment of Steve Daught to the Fire Merit Commission – Motion and second were made; the council approved the reappointment by voice vote.
Council roll-call sequences in the transcript show consistent aye votes for the items recorded as passing 9–0. Where the transcript gives a specific mover and seconder, that information is included above; where names were not clearly recorded, the outcome is summarized as announced by the clerk or chair.
Council action items will be reflected in the official minutes and ordinance/resolution files for record and implementation steps, including any administrative follow-up required by city departments.
Ending: The meeting also recorded ceremonial items, committee reports and public-comment periods; those were handled separately from the formal votes summarized here.
