Votes at a glance: Upper Arlington approves two ordinances; another is for later consideration
Summary
At its Feb. 10 meeting the Upper Arlington City Council approved Ordinance No. 3-2025 and Ordinance No. 4-2025; Ordinance No. 5-2025 received a first reading and will return for a later vote.
Upper Arlington City Council took action on multiple ordinances during its Feb. 10 meeting.
Ordinance No. 3-2025 (third reading) was moved by Council President Awakaze Njita and, after a voice vote, was approved by council that night.
Ordinance No. 4-2025, described as an amendment to Ordinance No. 70-2024 to correct 2025 salary amounts and to authorize a carryover of vacation for the city attorney, was moved and seconded and approved by voice vote. Senior Attorney Sean explained the salary amendment corrected previously entered numbers for 2025 and said the vacation carryover would not create a lingering liability because the city attorney said he must use the time this year.
Ordinance No. 5-2025, an ordinance amending 2025 appropriations and the 2025–2026 employee position schedule (including combining two part‑time clerk’s office positions into one full‑time position and reassigning funds tied to a previously tabled bond issuance), received a first reading and will be scheduled for a second reading and vote at a later meeting; no council action was taken on it Feb. 10.
Votes on Ordinances 3-2025 and 4-2025 were taken by voice; the transcript records the motions, seconds, and that “motion carries,” but does not include a roll-call tally of individual member votes in the record provided.
Summary of actions
- Ordinance No. 3-2025 — Motion to pass moved by Council President Awakaze Njita; outcome: approved (voice vote). - Ordinance No. 4-2025 — Motion to pass moved and seconded; outcome: approved (voice vote). The ordinance amends Ordinance No. 70-2024 to correct 2025 salary figures and to permit a city-attorney vacation carryover. - Ordinance No. 5-2025 — First reading only; no council action tonight. The ordinance would reallocate funds tied to a tabled bond issuance and combine two part‑time clerk’s office positions into one full‑time position; second reading scheduled on Feb. 24 (as stated by council).
Council made no other formal votes on substantive legislation at the Feb. 10 meeting. Items not recorded with named roll-call tallies were treated as approved by voice vote in the minutes provided.
