Rossford City Council adopts four ordinances, declares emergency for surplus sale
Summary
At its Oct. 27 meeting the Rossford City Council approved four ordinances: an economic development contract amendment with Toledo, a revised rental dwelling registration, budget adjustments including stormwater funding and vehicle upfits, and the emergency disposal of surplus property.
Rossford City Council on Oct. 27 voted to adopt four ordinances covering economic development, rental registration, budget adjustments and surplus property disposal.
The council approved Ordinance 2025-65, described as a first amendment to a joint economic development contract between the city of Rossford and the city of Toledo, moving the item forward to allow future economic development activity. The motion to adopt was made and carried on a recorded voice vote.
Council also passed Ordinance 2025-90, updating the city's rental dwelling registration code. The zoning committee reported several meetings to revise the code and recommended passage; council suspended the second and third readings and adopted the ordinance after asking if any audience members had questions.
Ordinance 2025-91 was presented as a budget-related measure. City staff summarized four items covered by the ordinance: funding to upfit two new police vehicles approved at the prior meeting; funding for a new stormwater line on Wales Road; additional stormwater funds to allocate Jennings Road stormwater work to the stormwater fund; and additional funding associated with switching dental and vision insurance providers. Council moved to suspend further readings and, as recorded in the meeting, voted to adopt the ordinance.
Ordinance 2025-92 authorizes the administration to dispose of certain surplus property not needed for municipal purposes and included a motion to declare an emergency. The police department noted an industrial shredder would be sold on GovDeals. The council voted to suspend readings, declare an emergency, and adopt the ordinance; the transcript contains an inconsistent vote entry for one member (see note below).
Vote recording note: the meeting transcript records roll-call or recorded voice responses for each ordinance. For Ordinance 2025-92 the transcript shows one council member (Toth) recorded as saying both "No" and "Aye" in adjacent lines; the vote outcome in the record is presented as adopted, but that inconsistency in the verbatim transcript is noted here and should be verified against official minutes for binding confirmation.
The meeting adjourned after public comment and final procedural matters.
