Troy City Council on Dec. 15 adopted the city’s 2026 budget and approved several emergency resolutions and ordinances to close year‑end business.

The council voted to adopt Ordinance O332025, the city’s 2026 appropriations ordinance, following a motion to suspend additional readings. The ordinance was adopted by roll call.

Council also approved Resolution R68‑2025 authorizing the director of public service and safety to enter a legal services contract with Grossman and Kelly LLP to pursue negligence‑based civil claims in MDL‑2873 (PFAS) and declared the matter an emergency. Missus Knight read the resolution into the record as part of the first reading; the council moved to suspend the rules and then to adopt. (Missus Knight read: “A resolution authorizing the director of public service and safety of the city of Troy, Ohio to execute a legal services contract with Grossman and Kelly LLP to prosecute on a negligence basis civil legal claims for negligence resulting in injuries and property damage in MDL 2873 PFAS and declaring an emergency.”)

The council also adopted Resolution R69‑2025 to amend earlier authority and allow the Community Improvement Corporation (CIC) of Troy to retain $250,000 from proceeds of the sale of city‑funded property at 1401 Experiment Farm Road; the retained funds are to be used only under specific circumstances and require council approval before expenditure. Relatedly, the council read and adopted Ordinance O342025, a second amended and restated lease with the CIC regarding the Marina Building; committee materials cited a sublease amendment that would set future monthly rent at 3.75% of the restaurant’s prior month gross sales (3.25% to the city, 0.5% to the CIC).

Council also adopted Resolution R70‑2025, which amends tax levies to be collected for the city for the fiscal year beginning Jan. 1, 2026, as certified by the budget commission.

All measures were enacted following motions to suspend further readings and affirmative roll call votes. The meeting record shows the council moved quickly through these year‑end items, treating them as emergency or time‑sensitive to ensure actions before the calendar year ended.

Next steps: the ordinances and resolutions take effect per the emergency declarations; any implementation tied to the CIC funds or marina lease will require the administrative steps and, where required, further council approvals before funds are expended or lease assignments take effect.
