Woodlawn council approves road, parking contracts and tax‑levy certification
Summary
The Village of Woodlawn on Sept. 30 approved four resolutions awarding two construction contracts, backed a community engagement program and certified tax levies; council also approved routine financial reports and a support letter for a regional trail study.
The Village of Woodlawn council on Sept. 30 approved four resolutions that award contracts for local infrastructure projects, affirmed support for a community planning program and certified the village’s tax rates for the coming year.
Council passed Resolution 27‑2025 to award the Wayne Avenue roadway improvements project to Grama and Baller Excavating Company (resolution language presented by the law director). A roll call was held and the members listed on the roll call recorded their vote as “Aye.” The council also approved Resolution 28‑2025 authorizing the municipal manager to enter into a contract with John R. Jurgensen Company for the Taconic public parking lot project; that resolution similarly passed on roll‑call “Aye” votes.
Separately, the council approved Resolution 29‑2025 expressing support for the Village of Woodlawn’s participation in the Community Heart and Soul program, a community engagement effort with a $20,000 program fee (the manager said the grant would cover half). Finally, Resolution 30‑2025 accepted the amounts and rates determined by the budget commission and authorized necessary tax levies and certifications to the county auditor as required by Ohio law.
In addition to those four resolutions, council approved routine financial items including the mayor’s court monthly statement for $44,371.25 and the finance director’s August receipts, payments and bank reconciliation.
All measures on the agenda passed without recorded negative votes during the meeting. Several motions were approved by voice vote; the council conducted roll‑call votes for the four resolutions and recorded each participating member as voting “Aye.” The law director noted the tax‑levy resolution is an annual procedural requirement under Ohio law and serves to affirm the village’s tax budget for next year.
The council also approved a separate letter of support for the Tri State Trails Mill Creek Triangle Trail feasibility study and agreed to sign the letter that evening. The meeting adjourned following brief additional announcements.
