Council approved second readings of several zoning amendments and authorized unvoted general obligation notes totaling up to the amounts stated for municipal projects; it also approved a resolution reducing the speed limit on North Chillicothe Street and authorized pre‑annexation agreements.
Plain City Council approved a package of second‑reading ordinances and resolutions that change local zoning chapters, authorize short‑term note issuances in anticipation of bonds for public improvements, and set a new posted speed limit on North Chillicothe Street.
On second reading the council approved multiple zoning code amendments described in the agenda as ordinances "26 dash 20 25" through "30 dash 20 25" and voted to approve financing measures including Ordinance 31‑20‑25 (authorizing unvoted general obligation notes with a maximum aggregate principal of $1,425,000 to pay for municipal public improvement projects), Ordinance 32‑20‑25 (authorizing notes up to $1,550,000 for municipal park system improvements and acquiring real estate for public gathering and parking), and Ordinance 33‑20‑25 (authorizing up to $1,000,000 for acquiring real estate for municipal purposes). Several ordinances were declared emergency measures and approved on second reading by roll call.
Council also approved Resolution 40‑20‑25 to amend the posted speed limit on North Chillicothe Street to 25 miles per hour. The resolution was approved by recorded affirmation during the meeting’s public portion.
Additional administrative actions announced or authorized included pre‑annexation agreements directing the village administrator to negotiate with Clayton Properties Group Incorporated and with Pulte Homes of Ohio, and a use agreement referenced with the Miami Valley Steam Threshers Association for Pastime Park.
Council discussed and approved release of a developer maintenance bond for Madison Meadows Pavilion contingent on completion of ground restoration (seed and trees), with members noting the work should wait until adjacent townhome construction is finished so restorations will be coordinated.
After completing public business, council moved into an executive session under Ohio Revised Code section 121.22(g)(2) to consider the purchase of property for public purposes.
