Votes at a glance: Waterville council approves appointments, surplus-property sale resolution and support for Ohio’s US250 program
Summary
At its Jan. 13 meeting the City of Waterville council approved a slate of commission appointments, adopted a resolution authorizing Internet auction of surplus property under state law, and passed a resolution supporting Ohio’s 250th anniversary programming.
The City of Waterville City Council approved reappointments to several local commissions, adopted a routine resolution permitting the sale of surplus municipal property via Internet auction under state law, and passed a resolution supporting the State of Ohio’s United States 250th (semiquincentennial) program.
Appointments: The council moved to reappoint six individuals to city commissions and boards for new terms; the mayor said the nominees had served previously and were willing to continue. Names mentioned in council discussion included Bill and Peg (Tree Commission), Jeff Loci (Civil Service Commission), Danny Birkemeyer (Civil Service Commission), Dave Glaza (finance committee service), and Paul Yngulaza (Board of Zoning Appeals). Vice Mayor Mary Duncan moved the appointments; the motion was seconded and approved by voice vote with no opposition recorded.
Surplus property resolution: The council adopted Resolution 0125, which declares the city’s intent to sell municipal personal property — including motor vehicles, road machinery, equipment, tools and supplies that are not needed for public use or are obsolete or unfit — by Internet auction pursuant to Ohio Revised Code §721.15(d). Municipal staff described the measure as an annual housekeeping item that streamlines disposal and advertising requirements for surplus property.
Ohio 250 support: The council approved Resolution 0225 expressing support for the Ohio commission for the United States’ 250th anniversary celebration. John (Municipal staff) said the resolution would allow local organizations to apply for up to $5,000 in state financial assistance to support programming, marketing and educational activities tied to the semiquincentennial; staff and councilmembers noted potential partnerships with the Waterville Historical Society and local nonprofits.
Other routine action: The council also approved the minutes of the Dec. 9, 2024 regular meeting at the start of the session. All votes taken on Jan. 13 were recorded as voice votes with no recorded opposition in the meeting transcript; specific roll-call tallies were not provided in the record.
