Plain City Council approves committee reassignments and multiple resolutions, then moves to executive session
Summary
Council reassigned committee memberships (Harriman to US 33/161 corridor), appointed Eudaly to economic development, approved several resolutions including procurement via GovDeals and cooperative purchasing, approved Ordinance 48-2025 on architectural standards, and voted to enter executive session under Ohio Revised Code 121.22(g)(8) to discuss confidential economic development assistance.
Plain City Council on Jan. 14 approved a series of committee reassignments, resolutions and an ordinance, and then entered executive session to consider confidential economic development information.
Appointments and committee changes: The mayor proposed removing "Mister Harriman" from the Economic Development Committee and appointing him to the US 33 / State Route 161 Corridor Group (with the council president role referenced); the motion to remove and reassign Harriman was seconded and passed by voice vote. The council then moved to appoint "Mister Eudaly" (transcript spellings vary) to the Economic Development Committee and approved a nomination to serve as the alternate representative to the Pleasant Valley Joint Fire District; motions were seconded and approved by voice vote.
Liquor control notice: The council reviewed an Ohio Division of Liquor Control permit application for Nicolina LLC at 209 West Bigelow Avenue and chose to take no action, allowing the state process to proceed.
Ordinance and resolutions: Council took a second-reading vote to approve Ordinance 48-2025 amending the codified ordinances (chapter noted in the transcript as "11 77") on architectural design standards for commercial or multifamily development; the motion was seconded and approved by voice vote. In new business, Resolution 1-2026 (contract authorization with GovDeals Inc for internet-based auction services) was introduced; Resolution 2-2026 (trade in village property) and Resolution 3-2026 (authorizing equipment purchases through the Ohio Department of Administrative Services cooperative purchasing program) were moved, seconded, and approved after motions to waive second readings. Resolution 4-2026 (establishing the parks master plan committee) was approved; appointments to that committee will be made at a future meeting.
Executive session: The council voted to enter executive session citing Ohio Revised Code section 121.22(g)(8) to consider confidential information related to an applicant for economic development assistance; the presiding official stated the council would not return to conduct further business after the executive session.
Votes in the transcript are recorded as voice approvals; where individual "Yes" responses were captured, they were read aloud but council minutes or roll-call records should be consulted for an official tally.
