Council approves consent, emergency ordinances and housekeeping motions; several items pass 8‑0
Summary
Reynoldsburg Council approved consent resolutions and emergency ordinances (including a SWACO food‑waste grant agreement) and passed housekeeping motions to recess in August and delegate limited liquor‑permit actions to the Clerk during recess; most roll‑call votes were 8‑0.
At its July 28 meeting, the Reynoldsburg City Council approved a series of consent and emergency items and adopted housekeeping motions related to an August recess.
A housekeeping motion to recess council for the month of August was moved by Council Member Savati and seconded by Council Member Johnson; President Strickland said "the motion carries." The council also approved a motion authorizing the Clerk of Council to return liquor‑permit requests received during the August recess without requesting a hearing provided the Reynoldsburg Police Department finds no reason for a hearing; the motion was moved by Council Member Pacquiao and seconded by Council Member Savani and carried.
On the consent calendar, items 12 a and b— including a resolution to participate in the Ohio Public Works Commission grant program for 2026—were approved on roll call, 8‑0. The council also approved emergency adoption of two ordinances (items 13 a and b). Item 13 a authorizes the mayor to enter into an agreement with the Solid Waste Authority of Central Ohio (SWACO) to accept funding for a food‑waste drop‑off expansion program and appropriate funds, and declares an emergency; item 13 b is an ordinance changing appropriations from various city accounts and also was declared an emergency. Both emergency ordinances passed on an 8‑0 roll call.
Items listed for second reading (item 14) and third reading/approval (items 15 a and b) were also addressed; items on third reading were approved on roll call, 8‑0. Where the transcript lacked full ordinance text or numbers, those specifics are noted as not specified in the meeting record.
The council recorded multiple unanimous roll‑call approvals (8 affirmative, 0 negative) on consent and emergency items at the meeting.
