Huber Heights council approves multiple contracts and infrastructure projects; directs review of police records software

The measures, taken during the council's regular session March 24, passed unanimously by roll call. Council also heard a citizen question about sewer‑line insurance and received updates on personnel and upcoming community programs.

Why it matters: The council's votes authorize multi‑year contracts and capital projects that affect routine operations, the city's public infrastructure schedule and recreational assets. The committee ordered to review police records and dispatch software aims to examine an operational tool that council members and officers said is affecting day‑to‑day police work.

Council approved two multi‑year software contracts as separate resolutions.

City Manager John Russell said the purchases complete a multi‑year effort to modernize finance systems.
