Votes at a glance: Loveland City Council approves routine contracts, park grant application and snow‑removal agreement
Summary
At its Oct. 28 meeting the Loveland City Council unanimously approved three resolutions — a financial‑software license, a Land and Water Conservation Fund grant application for Nesbitt Park, and a snow‑removal agreement for White Pillar subdivision — set a public hearing on a Highlands SPD and accepted the third‑quarter financial report.
Loveland City Council unanimously adopted several measures at its Oct. 28 meeting, approving routine contracts and authorizing a grant application to advance park improvements.
The council approved Resolution 88 to authorize payment of annual license, support and maintenance fees for the city's financial software, Civica CMI. Mark Medler, director of finance, told council the increase was driven largely by a one‑time purchase to preserve prior payroll data.
The council also adopted Resolution 89 authorizing submission of an Ohio Department of Natural Resources Land, Water and Conservation Fund application for the final phase of the Nesbitt Park master plan. City Manager Dave Kennedy outlined planned elements including trail lighting, restroom renovations, an additional adult swing and a streetscape gateway; the application requires a 50% local match and is due Nov. 14.
Resolution 90 authorized the city manager to execute an agreement for snow and ice removal on undedicated streets in the White Pillar Subdivision; staff said the city invoices the homeowners association for services and deposits proceeds into the salt fund.
Council also moved and carried a motion to set a public hearing for the Highlands of Loveland Special Planning District (23 single‑family attached units) for Nov. 12, 2025 at about 7 p.m., and accepted the city's third‑quarter financial report.
