The Bowling Green City Council voted to adopt a series of ordinances and resolutions covering supplemental appropriations, equipment disposition, utility contracting and easements, and a resolution joining a clean-energy community program.
Clerk Jody read a slate of items for first, second and third readings. Council suspended the rules to permit second and third readings for Ordinance 9,325 (supplemental appropriations for 2025) and then adopted that ordinance.

The council also adopted Resolution 3,895 to authorize the City of Bowling Green to become a community under the “A Power: A Clean Future Ohio” program.
Most motions were moved and seconded from the dais and the roll calls recorded affirmative votes from attending members for the adopted items. No 'no' or abstention votes were recorded in the transcript for the listed adoptions during this meeting.
