Summary
The Macedonia City Council took a series of legislative actions, adopting a TIF ordinance, an appropriations amendment, acceptance of opioid-settlement participation, pay-title updates for the recreation center and a design-build agreement for a new service building; it also referred an RV ordinance to the planning commission.
The Macedonia City Council took a series of actions during its recent meeting. The measures below were taken by voice vote as recorded in the meeting transcript; the record does not contain a roll-call tally for each vote.
Ordinance 53 (TIF): Council adopted an emergency ordinance declaring public improvements and establishing a municipal public-improvement tax-increment fund for a project near the citys northern corridor adjacent to the bowling alley. Council discussion said the ordinance will allow the city to capture property-tax dollars otherwise payable to the county and use them for public infrastructure improvements in the project area. The ordinance citation in the meeting packet referenced revised code sections as the statutory authority (cited in the packet as "5 0 9 405-0942, and 5 0 9 dot 4 3"). The councils motion to adopt was made and the ordinance passed.
Ordinance 69 (appropriations amendment): Council adopted Ordinance 69, an amendment to the citys annual appropriations ordinance (Ordinance 74 20 24) to adjust current expenses and other expenditures for calendar year 2025. The director noted this was the second amendment this year and attached a memo summarized in caucus. Council voted to adopt and the ordinance carried.
Resolution 70 (opioid settlement participation): Council adopted Resolution 70 authorizing the mayor to participate in national opioid litigation settlements for several secondary manufacturers named in the packet (Alvogen, Amneal, Apotex, Hikma, Indivior, Mylan, Sun, and Zitis). Staff said the deadline to file the required paperwork to participate was Oct. 18.
Ordinance 71 (nonunion compensation titles): Council passed Ordinance 71, which amends two position titles at the recreation center: creating a recreation manager for aquatics and an aquatics and fitness specialist. Staff said the change reflects duties and workload in the aquatics and fitness programs.
Ordinance 72 (design-build service building): Council approved Ordinance 72 authorizing an agreement with Beaver Constructors Inc. as the design-builder for a new service building; staff said the selection followed a competitive process and that early site work could begin in the coming months.
Referral: Ordinance 55 (recreational vehicles) was referred to the planning commission for review after council members reported mixed public feedback.
Votes and procedure: Most items were advanced and adopted by voice vote with motions to adopt or refer; the transcript shows "All in favor? Aye. Opposed?" and similar phrasing but does not record roll-call tallies.
Ending: Council and staff indicated follow-up steps for each item: implementation of the Beaver contract, filing paperwork for the opioid settlement, and planning-commission review for the RV ordinance.
