Summary
The Clayton City Council on a series of votes accepted Hunters Path Phase 1 rights of way (6–1), increased the competitive bid threshold after removing an emergency clause, and approved several ordinances and resolutions, including appropriation procedures for Hooke Road widening and appointments to a joint economic-development board.
The Clayton City Council on a series of unanimous and near-unanimous votes accepted land dedications, updated procurement limits, and approved administrative and project authorizations.
The council approved Ordinance O10 25 27, accepting the dedication of specified rights of way at Hunters Path Phase 1. Councilmember Gorman moved to approve and Councilmember Merkel seconded; a roll call recorded Henning as dissenting and the ordinance passed 6–1.
Council then considered Ordinance O11 25 28, an ordinance to increase the city's competitive bid allowance by 20 percent. Councilmembers questioned the use of an emergency clause and moved to remove that clause. The amendment to remove the emergency clause was moved by Councilmember Farmer and recorded as seconded by Councilmember Merkel and passed. The underlying ordinance passed on final approval unanimously.
The council approved Ordinance O11 25 29, adopting replacement pages to the Clayton Codified Ordinances, and Ordinance O11 25 30, authorizing the appropriation process for property interests needed for the Hooke Road Widening Phase 1 project; both passed unanimously.
On resolutions, the council approved Resolution R 11 25 76 authorizing submittal of Federal IIJA grant applications through the Miami Valley Regional Planning Commission; Resolution R 11 25 77 appointing Randy Sanders to the Clay Township/City of Clayton Joint Economic Development District board; and Resolution R 11 25 78 appointing Elaine Whitman as an alternate to that board — each passed unanimously.
