Mayor and administration report month-end closing, state audit meeting, bridge work and leaf pickup schedule
Summary

Mayor and administration updated council on downtown business activity, bridge construction progress and leaf pickup beginning the first full week of November.
The city auditor told the Amherst City Council that the city is closing October and that the auditor's office will meet with a representative from the Ohio State Auditor next week as part of the 2025 state audit process.
Treasurer Lawrence and other department heads reported no items. Mayor and administration briefed the council on several operational items: a downtown business (South Main Street Bridal) is expected to open soon though the mayor characterized the timeline as not finalized; bridge construction related to the railroad project is progressing but has encountered more issues than expected and some transmission-line work has caused delays; and the city's leaf pickup program will begin the first full week in November, starting on the north side of the tracks and proceeding until all leaves are collected (the mayor cautioned that pickup can extend into a fifth week depending on conditions).
Council voted to accept administration reports by a 6-0 roll-call vote and then adjourned the meeting at approximately 7:16 p.m.
