Summary

On Feb. 3 the Columbiana City Council passed Ordinance 26-O-3323 (rezoning, second reading) and two emergency ordinances (26-O-3324, Fairfield Avenue culvert; 26-O-3325, North Drive access). Ordinance 26-O-3326 failed for lack of a second on first reading.

At its Feb. 3 meeting, the Columbiana City Council recorded votes on multiple ordinances.

Ordinance No. 26-O-3323 (second reading) amended the city zoning ordinance to rezone 0.3099 acres from R-1 (Low Density Residential) to AOC (Agricultural/Open Space Conservation) to allow construction of a storage building for the city's Christmas displays. The council moved and seconded the ordinance; roll-call responses recorded Souder, Datilio, Liston, Graham, Banner and Cato as voting "Yes." The ordinance passed on second reading.

Council declared two ordinances emergency measures and approved both by roll call: - Ordinance No. 26-O-3324 (emergency) authorizes the city manager to advertise for bids and enter a contract for construction materials and labor for the Fairfield Avenue culvert replacement project (OPWC project referenced in the minutes). A clerical correction to the OPWC reference number was noted on the record. Roll call recorded members present voting to approve the emergency ordinance. - Ordinance No. 26-O-3325 (emergency) authorizes the city manager to advertise for bids for construction materials, equipment and labor for the C0L-SR14 new access to North Drive project (PID 121753). Council approved the emergency ordinance by roll call.

On a separate matter, Ordinance No. 26-O-3326 (first reading) to amend dates of regularly scheduled council meetings for 2026 was introduced but the motion failed for lack of a second and no action was taken.

Vote tallies recorded on the meeting record show unanimous affirmative roll-call responses among members present for the passed ordinances (members responding "Yes" on the record). The minutes list individual "Yes" responses; the clerk's official roll-call record in the minutes should be consulted for a verbatim vote roster.
