Seven Hills council adds year‑end appropriations ordinance and transfer resolution to tonight’s agenda, sets aside about $1.1M for Broadview Road

At its meeting tonight the Seven Hills City Council moved to place Ordinance No. 60‑2025, an amendment to appropriations, and Resolution No. 18‑2025, authorizing intra‑fund transfers, on the agenda as emergency items and waived the 24‑hour rule.

Director Frank told the council the appropriations ordinance is a routine year‑end adjustment “moving levers and turning knobs to pretty up the books for the … auditors, and then, of course, the state of Ohio.” Councilors approved putting the ordinance on the agenda with a recorded second and affirmative roll call from those present.

Council members also heard an explanation of Resolution No. 18‑2025 from Director Frank, who said the measure moves cash within funds to reconcile prior‑year programs and to support capital needs. He said several items in the resolution are standard year‑end transfers while other items reflect 2025 program activity.

Mayor (unnamed in the transcript) said the city ended the year with a general fund balance “a little over 6,000,000,” and reported a projected surplus that the mayor described as being set aside for a major 2027 project: Broadview Road. The mayor said the state will pay for the road’s main repayment, but not for curbs, catch basins and other appurtenances, and that the city had set aside about $1,100,000 in the general fund for future capital needs related to the project.

Separately, finance staff and council members moved a five‑year stormwater support services arrangement (2026–2030) with the entity named in the record as the Kaya Khan Board of Health; Director Brydie described it as a continuation of prior stream monitoring work and stated, in the transcript, that the arrangement imposes no charges to the city. Councilor Morrow moved to place that stormwater item on the next agenda as an emergency; the motion received a second and affirmative roll call as recorded in the transcript.

All emergency placements and the transfer motion were placed on the agenda following motions and roll calls recorded in the meeting transcript. The items will appear for formal consideration on tonight’s full council agenda.
