Council approves appropriations, weed assessments, tax rates at 0 mills and Kemper Road OPWC application
Summary
Sharonville City Council approved four emergency or first-and-only-reading measures on Sept. 30: an appropriations ordinance, an emergency weed/sidewalk assessment ordinance, a resolution certifying tax levies (maintaining 0 mills), and an OPWC application for Kemper Road; all passed on unanimous roll calls or voice votes.
Sharonville City Council on Sept. 30 approved four measures on first-and-only or emergency readings, moving quickly to finalize appropriations, property assessments for nuisance abatement, tax levies and an application for state infrastructure funding.
Council suspended the rules to allow immediate effectivity and then approved Ordinance 2025-43, which amends 2025 appropriations to return certain advances and clean up grant accounting. Council approved the ordinance by roll-call vote (Tankersley, Sharpshire, Cook, Lovett, Cox, Knight and Schmidt voting yes).
Council then took up Emergency Ordinance 2025-45E, authorizing the safety-service director to notify the county auditor of special assessments on properties to reimburse costs for weed cutting, sidewalk repair, nuisance abatement and related work under Ohio Revised Code Section 7.31.54 and Sharonville Codified Ordinances Sections 5.21.05 and 5.21.13. The emergency ordinance passed on a unanimous roll-call vote.
On a first-and-only reading, the council adopted Resolution 2025 R10E accepting amounts and rates as determined by the budget commission and certifying necessary tax levies. The resolution continues the city's practice of imposing 0 mills in city property taxes and passed on unanimous roll call.
Finally, Council approved Emergency Resolution 2025 R11E authorizing the city's chief executive officer, chief financial officer and project manager to submit an Ohio Public Works Commission (OPWC) application for Kemper Road improvements (Redding East to the city limits) and to execute an agreement with OPWC. That resolution also passed on a unanimous roll call.
All four measures were advanced under a suspension-of-rules motion (moved by Councilmember Tankersley, seconded by Councilmember Cook) and carried. No amendments or recorded dissent were recorded during the meeting.
What happens next: Ordinances and emergency resolutions approved as first-and-only readings take effect immediately under the council vote; the OPWC application will proceed through the state review process. No additional hearings on these items were scheduled during the meeting.
