Several first‑reading finance ordinances were introduced.
Tipp City Council approved several measures Wednesday night, including a code change to comply with Ohio EPA industrial sewer requirements, a five‑year renewal of the downtown Designated Outdoor Refreshment Area (DORA) and a contract for alley resurfacing.
Ordinance 18‑25: Council adopted an ordinance amending sections 54.01 through 54.99 of the Tipp City Code of Ordinances to align local industrial sewer use language with updated Ohio EPA requirements. City staff said the changes were driven by the Ohio EPA’s updated requirements; the public hearing produced no speakers, and the ordinance passed on a recorded roll call.
Resolution 20‑25 (DORA): The council voted to continue the designated outdoor refreshment area Downtown for another five‑year period, as required by the Ohio Revised Code to undergo periodic review. City staff noted that during the first five‑year period there had been no law‑enforcement issues tied to the DORA and that the downtown partnership had supported continuation.
Resolution 26‑25 (Alley resurfacing contract): Council authorized the city manager to award a contract to Butler Asphalt LLC of Dayton, Ohio, for the 2025 Alley Resurfacing Project at a cost of $137,168.43. Staff said this is the third year of an alley‑resurfacing capital program.
Other business: The council heard first readings on an ordinance to issue notes up to $4,250,000 in anticipation of bonds for acquiring about 12.15 acres near West Main Street and South Tippecanoe Drive (for economic development) and an ordinance amending 2025 appropriations related to cash‑flow advances and budget modifications. Those ordinances were introduced and will return for future readings.
