Council notes auditor distribution, high voter turnout, zoning trends and upcoming pancake supper
Summary
Council reported an $18,578.04 distribution from the Hamilton County Auditor, celebrated high voter turnout for the recent election, reviewed zoning and variance statistics, and announced a pancake supper and a planned tree removal memorial.
Council heard several routine reports and community announcements on Nov. 6, 2024. Chief Fiscal Officer Mrs. Lyons said the Hamilton County Auditor is returning an assessment portion of the real estate assessment fund and that Terrace Park’s share of $18,578.04 should be deposited the next day.
Buildings & Grounds reported robust voter participation for Election Day, noting turnout over 80% and approximately 959 in‑person votes recorded; council members who worked the polls described a busy day. Planning & Zoning presented permit and variance statistics covering the recent years (for example 124 zoning permit applications across earlier years and variance counts of 11 in 2021, 6 in 2022, and 0 in 2023 and 2024 to date) and explained what a variance is for the attending students.
Council also announced community events: the annual pancake supper fundraiser at St. Thomas Church (ticket prices discussed at about $4 and $6) and the planned removal of a large, taped-off tree on the green the next day after inspectors found a central split; a portion of the trunk will be saved for a memorial. The mayor invited the visiting AP Government students and encouraged civic engagement.
