At its Jan. 28 meeting, the Village of Woodlawn council approved several legislative and administrative items by roll-call or unanimous voice vote.
Ordinance 01-2025: The council introduced and passed Ordinance 01-2025 to change the contribution to the mayor’s court computer fund from $10 to $20 on each citation or court adjudication. Council members moved to suspend the rules, voted to pass the ordinance, and subsequently voted to declare the ordinance an emergency so it would take effect immediately.

The transcript records affirmative votes by Esther Boyd, Rosemary Brown, Cindy Chandler, Pamela Fitzgerald, Robert Lawson and Michelle Starr.
Resolutions and grant authorizations: The council also passed Resolution 02-2025 authorizing the municipal manager to enter into a grant agreement with the Ohio Department of Commerce, Division of State Fire Marshal, and passed Resolution 03-2025 authorizing the manager to prepare and submit an Ohio Public Works Commission (OPWC) application for state capital improvement and local transportation programs and to execute required contracts. Both resolutions were moved, seconded and adopted by aye votes as recorded in the meeting roll calls.
Liquor-license actions: Following the law director’s report, council voted to request a hearing on a liquor permit application for the property listed at 10088 Springfield Pike and to decline a hearing for an application at 10075 Springfield Pike; motions were moved, seconded and carried.
Other approvals: The council approved the mayor’s monthly statement in the amount of $44,207.12 and approved December 2024 receipt and payment listings and bank reconciliations as presented by the finance director.
