Council OKs F-2 permit for downtown Toons Tour, discusses budget schedule and infrastructure projects
Summary
Council authorized an F-2 permit for the downtown 'Toons Tour' beer crawl on Sept. 14, 2024, and debated moving or combining capital improvement and operating budget workshops to accommodate City Manager scheduling; staff also updated the council on paving, a sanitary sewer closure on Hyatt Street, and an exit beautification project.
TIPP CITY — The Tipp City Council authorized the police chief and the city manager to sign an F-2 permit application for the downtown Tipp City Partnership’s 2024 Toons Tour beer crawl, scheduled for Sept. 14, 2024, and discussed scheduling and project updates related to the capital improvement program and operating budget.
Council Member Green said he had nothing substantive to add on the permit but expressed support for the downtown event and noted city staff backing: “the police chief and the city manager are both in favor of, signing the permanent application,” he said. A council member asked what an F-2 permit allows; the exchange clarified it covers sale/consumption of beer and similar beverages within approved door zones. The council approved the authorization by roll call.
On budget scheduling, staff reported the capital improvement program (CIP) hearing was scheduled for Sept. 23, but requested moving it to Sept. 30 or combining the CIP and operating budget reviews on Oct. 28 so City Manager Mr. Mack could participate. Staff said the CIP book and the operating budget could be ready by Sept. 1 if the schedule is adjusted. Council members weighed the trade-offs of combining sessions versus allowing additional review time.
Project updates from staff included milling and paving work beginning with milling on Friday and paving on identified streets and cul-de-sacs, parking-lot resurfacing this weekend, an anticipated roughly two-week closure of Hyatt Street for sanitary sewer work, and a freeway-exit beautification project starting this week; staff noted concurrent ODOT stormwater work may cause lane closures unrelated to the city’s project.
Public comment in the meeting included resident Kathy Bone urging increased civic participation, saying, "I'm still hopeful that people will wake up and they will start coming to your meetings." The meeting adjourned after routine closing motions.
