Council fast‑tracks bed‑tax agreements to fund economic development programs
Summary
After suspending the rules, council adopted Resolution 2025‑66 to authorize agreements distributing bed‑tax economic development funds; the suspension and final adoption passed on roll calls in the same meeting.
Wooster — The council suspended the rules and adopted Resolution 2025‑66 on Nov. 17 to authorize agreements for the distribution of bed‑tax economic development monies to various applicants.
The resolution (2025‑66) was read into the record. Council member Abernathy moved to suspend the rules so the resolution could be enacted that evening; the motion to suspend was seconded by Miss Kanapic and carried on a roll call. The motion to adopt the resolution passed on a subsequent roll call, with multiple council members voting 'Yes.'
Council discussed procedural points and a minor scrivener’s error in the resolution language (an internal section noted awards for '2024 and 2025' that a council member identified as a typographical error); a member said no formal amendment was required to correct it.
What happens next: The resolution authorizes agreements with applicants to spend the bed‑tax funds; the administration will prepare agreements for execution under the terms authorized by the council.
