Beavercreek council approved several ordinances and resolutions, including Grange Hall Road TIF and energy district agreements
Summary
City council approved a package of ordinances and resolutions covering tax increment financing, energy-district improvement financing, special assessment agreements, nuisance grass assessments, grant applications and street project grant submissions.
Beavercreek City Council approved multiple ordinances and resolutions during the meeting, taking votes on tax-increment districts, special assessments tied to an energy project, nuisance grass assessments, several grant application authorizations and other routine matters.
Key outcomes at a glance:
- Ordinance 25-14 (Grange Hall Road TIF): Approved on second reading. The ordinance creates a Grange Hall Road tax increment financing (TIF) incentive district, declares improvements a public purpose and requires owners to make service payments in lieu of taxes for parcels in the districts.
- Ordinance 25-18 (Beavercreek Energy Special Improvement District cooperation; emergency): Approved (emergency). Council recorded a roll-call yes vote; staff noted the city functions primarily as a pass-through collector for assessments in the district.
- Ordinance 25-19 (Special assessments and cooperative agreements for Beavercreek Energy Special Improvement District; emergency): Approved (emergency). The ordinance authorizes special assessments, approves an energy project cooperative agreement among the city, the Beavercreek Energy Special Improvement District, Dayton Raiders Facilities Inc. and IR Capital Funding LLC, and authorizes related financing documents.
- Resolution 25-24 (Overgrown grass assessments): Approved. City staff reported the code enforcement process and asked the Greene County Auditor to place unpaid grass-cutting charges for 21 parcels on the tax duplicate totaling $8,825.
- Resolution 25-25 (Accepting amounts and rates certified by the budget commission): Approved. Formal acceptance of county-certified rates for the city’s tax budget process.
- Resolution 25-26 (IIJA applications via Miami Valley Regional Planning Commission): Approved. Council authorized staff to submit up to four applications ranking planned projects for federal Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA) funds routed through MVRPC; staff presented three proposed projects (Haines Road resurfacing, Grange Hall Road sidewalk, and Beaver Valley Road resurfacing) and recommended rankings and required complete-streets exemptions.
- Resolution 25-27 (OPWC application for Kemp Road widening): Approved. Council authorized submission of an Ohio Public Works Commission application for up to $960,000 to match previously secured federal funding; the Kemp Road widening project is scheduled for right-of-way acquisition beginning in 2026 and construction in 2027, with an estimated total project cost of about $4.8 million.
- Tax Incentive Review Committee recommendation: Council accepted the committee’s recommendation to continue the Greentown Center TIF for another year; staff reported the TIF’s remaining schedule and current surplus and debt balances.
Vote formality and roll calls: Several items were approved by voice vote; ordinances 25-18 and 25-19 were approved as emergencies by roll call with the council members present recorded as voting yes. Council members Garcia and Little were excused; five members voted in favor on recorded roll calls.
What this means: The approvals move forward infrastructure plans and financing tools the city will use to implement road and district projects and to collect certain assessments and fees on behalf of improvement districts. Several grant and application approvals are preliminary steps to secure outside funding; final project schedules will depend on award timelines and future budget availability.
