Council confirms several board reappointments, adopts records-training designee motion and holds another item
Summary
Cincinnati City Council reappointed trustees and advisors to city boards, approved a motion to register the clerk of council as a state records-training designee for Council Member Nolan, and voted to hold a previously scheduled item on the calendar.
During the business portion of the meeting, Cincinnati City Council confirmed several reappointments to advisory boards, adopted a motion to register the clerk of council as a records-training designee for Council Member Nolan, and voted to hold an item that had been calendared in December.
Reappointments: The council reappointed Daniel Rozaya to the board of trustees for the Cincinnati Zoo and Botanical Gardens and reappointed Tanya Smith and Sergeant Dion Mac to the Cincinnati Accessibility Board of Advisors. Each reappointment was approved by roll call.
Records-training designee: Council member Nolan introduced a motion that the clerk of council be registered with the State of Ohio, Office of the Attorney General, as Nolan’s public-records training designee (term ending January 2026). City staff explained that elected and appointed officials are required to attend three hours of records training with the State of Ohio when they are appointed or elected. The council adopted the motion by roll call.
Holding an item: An item that had been held on Dec. 18, 2024, at the request of Council Member Walsh was again held at this meeting after a motion by Council Member Walsh and a second; the roll-call vote to hold the item carried.
Votes at a glance: - Reappointment — Daniel Rozaya, Cincinnati Zoo and Botanical Gardens board of trustees: adopted by roll-call vote (answering recorded: Nolan, Owens, Parks, Walsh, Albee, Grama Ding, Jeffries, Johnson, Vice Mayor Kearney). - Reappointment — Tanya Smith, Cincinnati Accessibility Board of Advisors: adopted by roll-call vote (same recorded affirmative responses). - Reappointment — Sergeant Dion Mac, Cincinnati Accessibility Board of Advisors: adopted by roll-call vote (same recorded affirmative responses). - Motion — Register clerk with State of Ohio as Council Member Nolan’s records-training designee (term to Jan. 2026): adopted by roll-call vote (affirmative recorded by council members present). - Motion — Hold item previously calendared Dec. 18, 2024 (requested by Council Member Walsh): adopted by roll-call vote.
Why it matters: The reappointments maintain membership on advisory boards that inform city policy for accessibility and for the zoo’s governing board. The records-training designee motion fulfills a State of Ohio training requirement for newly appointed elected officials. The held item will remain on the calendar for future consideration.
The meeting concluded after announcements; no ordinances or budget items were adopted during the business portion recorded in this transcript.
