Xenia City Council voted on a package of ordinances and resolutions Tuesday, taking actions that range from administrative code updates to financial housekeeping and public positions on pending state legislation.

Key votes included:
- Ordinance 2025‑29: Amending Chapter 8.81 of the municipal income tax code to align with House Bill 96. City counsel and staff described the changes as mostly administrative, clarifying definitions and filing deadlines; council approved the ordinance by unanimous roll call (6 ayes) (SEG 302–371).
- Ordinance 2025‑30: Amendments to Chapter 10.16 addressing the industrial pretreatment program at the wastewater treatment plant; staff said the Ohio EPA requested changes to improve enforceability; ordinance adopted by roll call (6 ayes) (SEG 386–429).
- Ordinance 2025‑31 & 2025‑32: Updates to fee schedules (water rates and building inspection fees) and building‑standards code sections to implement recurring adjustments and to fund infrastructure work. Council adopted these items (roll calls recorded) (SEG 431–796).
- Resolution 2025‑60: Council approved waiving $91,691.94 in uncollectible receivables across multiple categories (parking tickets, weed mowing/trash cleanup, reinspection fees, bulk water/extras, and long‑outstanding homelessness loans funded by CDBG); staff explained many items date to 2021 or earlier and some are unrecoverable because properties are tax‑forfeited or the debts predate feasible collection options (SEG 1184–1310, SEG 1760–1782).
- Resolution 2025‑61: Council appointed a five‑member Charter Review Commission (plus one alternate), set a report deadline of July 31, 2026, and approved Councilman Crawford as the council alternate for the commission (SEG 1790–1976).
- Resolution 2025‑62: Council adopted a resolution opposing House Bill 503 on home‑rule grounds; debate centered on distribution of the resolution to state officials and strategic considerations about lobbying the bill sponsor (SEG 1990–2041, SEG 2296–2307).
- Resolution 2025‑63: Council introduced and approved a resolution supporting Senate Bill 307 to permit tax increment financing (TIF) for public safety infrastructure (SEG 2320–2340, SEG 2401–2414).

All actions passed by roll call where recorded; staff will carry out administrative implementation steps for each adopted ordinance and resolution.
