Council took several procedural and consent actions Dec. 11 following the Timber Ridge public hearing and other agenda items.

The council ratified a tentative collective bargaining agreement with the Greene Central Communications Operators Association (dispatchers). Staff reported the agreement would begin Dec. 21 and run through Dec. 16, 2028; council approved a resolution to ratify the CBA after learning the union had ratified the tentative agreement.

Council adopted a cybersecurity program required under ORC 9.64. City staff said most required practices are already in place and the resolution formalizes detection, incident response, repair and employee training procedures; the information technology director (Keith Padgett referenced by staff) will lead implementation to meet the statutory compliance deadline.

Council also approved an emergency appropriation request of $50,000 to pay NIC for permitting and building inspection services tied to record permit volume in December; staff said the appropriation is intended to pay December services invoiced in January.

Finally, council reappointed Austin Foust to the Civil Service Commission and Melody Anderson to the Planning & Zoning Commission, and voted to change the next regular meeting time to 6:00 p.m. on Dec. 22 to accommodate schedules and public participation.
