Loading...
Summary
Council approved a consent package including Resolution 26‑01 (advanced draws on county tax collections), Resolution 26‑02 (Greene County Council on Aging grant application), and six ODOT LPA agreements for sidewalks, resurfacing and road widening (Res. 26‑04 through 26‑09). Liquor permits and several administrative items were also approved.
At its first 2026 meeting, Beavercreek City Council approved a series of administrative and capital resolutions by voice vote.
Finance staff explained Resolution 26‑01, which authorizes the city manager or finance director to request advanced draws on real estate and personal property tax collections from the Greene County Auditor; council approved the measure.
Council also approved Resolution 26‑02 to submit an application to the Greene County Council on Aging for grant funding. Staff said the county’s total award allocation is $311,303, with approximately $169,000 earmarked for senior‑center services and roughly $141,000 for senior transportation; the grant accounts for about 48% of funding needed to sustain the Beavercreek Senior Center, staff said.
Council authorized six LPA (local public agency) agreements with the Ohio Department of Transportation to pursue federal construction funds on multiple projects: Stedman Lane sidewalks (federal request $250,250; total construction est. $357,500), Grange Hall pedestrian improvements (total est. $1,628,000), Pentagon Boulevard resurfacing (total est. $1,382,400), Shaker Town Road widening (total est. $3,210,000), Lance Road sidewalks (total est. $561,000), and Kemp Road widening (total est. $3,884,100). Funding splits vary by project (examples: 70/30 or 80/20 federal/local; individual project slides in the packet list exact amounts). Council discussed crosswalks, rapid flashing beacons and project timing before voting to approve the agreements.
The council also approved two liquor matters from the Ohio Division of Liquor Control—a new permit for Regal Cinemas and a liquor‑permit transfer for 3850 Kemp Road—and approved administrative items including selection of three DC Fly‑In attendees and designating the Clerk of Council as the designee for public‑records training.
Votes were taken by voice for the listed resolutions and motions; staff will proceed to finalize LPA agreements and move projects to design and bidding stages per the ODOT LPA process.
