Beavercreek City Council approved an ordinance to establish five new trust funds, advanced two proposed ordinances to second readings and accepted the city’s third‑quarter financial report during its Nov. 11 regular meeting.

Ordinance 25‑22, described by staff as creating funds for the Senior Center Trust, Wordinger Park long‑term care trust, CI Beaver Hall long‑term care trust, a miscellaneous parks fund and a police trust fund to conform with federal and state accounting requirements, passed on a voice vote after a motion and second. No public comments were offered on the ordinance during the meeting.

Staff also presented Ordinance 25‑23, an update to the Traffic Improvement District fee schedule. Planner/engineering staff summarized the history of the district, the 2018 traffic study and the methodology used to update project costs. The recommended fee changes would reflect updated project costs and assume roughly 50% grant funding in cost allocations; staff estimated a 14% fee increase from the 2023 schedule to the proposed 2025 schedule. The item went to a second reading for further consideration after a public hearing (no speakers).

Ordinance 25‑24, which would repeal the current personnel rules and adopt updated personnel rules and regulations, was presented by HR staff. Changes included clarifications on probationary extensions, prior‑service verification for accruals, vacation accrual increments changed to one‑tenth of an hour, holiday and funeral leave clarifications, FMLA certification language, and a prohibition on smoking, vaping and nicotine use in city parks. Council moved the ordinance to a second reading.

Council approved Resolution 25‑31 authorizing the Beavercreek Police Department to apply for the 2025 State Homeland Security Grant Program.

In finance business, staff presented the third‑quarter report. Property tax receipts were reported about 2.5% above budget (and 4.6% above the previous year in part because a large delinquent taxpayer settled a prior year obligation). Planning and development fees were at 68% of the budgeted amount, franchise fees continued a 3–5 year decline (about 6–7% per year), and capital spending trailed budget primarily because an anticipated $500,000 grant was not received. Council moved to accept the report and the motion carried.

Council appointed Council member Littrell to serve as one of two council representatives on the zoning‑code steering committee that will work on the zoning code after the land‑use plan is finalized. The second council appointment will be determined after newly elected members join in January.

During citizen comment, a resident raised concerns about missing campaign signs and asked about where budget meeting information was posted on the city website. The council then voted unanimously in favor of entering executive session under Ohio Revised Code Section 121.22 to discuss compensation for a public employee; the mayor stated no decision would be released after the session and the meeting effectively concluded.

Next procedural steps: several ordinances were moved to second readings for further deliberation and the city will consider the chamber’s air‑service funding request during upcoming budget sessions.
