Council handles liquor notice, schedules intern and hears brief TIF update
Summary
Clerk Van Meter reported no police objections to a liquor ownership change for Pub and Gahanna LLC and said he will notify the state that the city does not request a hearing. Council approved placing a seasonal council intern appointment for Carys Lance on the Feb. 16 agenda (anticipated June start), and Director Berry summarized supplemental appropriations for a Crescent development reimbursement, fleet software and cul‑de‑sac funds.
Clerk Van Meter told council he had checked with the police division and there were no objections to a Division of Liquor Control notice concerning Pub and Gahanna LLC's change in ownership; he said, unless council objects, he would return a notice that the city does not request a hearing.
Clerk Van Meter moved to approve the seasonal employment of Carys Lance as a council office intern through the Mid‑Ohio Regional Planning Commission summer program and praised her interview and background; President Weaver also spoke in support. Staff estimated an anticipated start in June, and the appointment will appear on the Feb. 16 agenda for formal action.
Director Berry reviewed TIF‑related supplemental appropriations: payments tied to the Crescent development to cover SIB principal and interest due in September (first reimbursement request had been verified for expenses above $2,000,000), an adjustment to fleet software appropriations and the use of longstanding cul‑de‑sac funds for the street program this year.
Next steps: the liquor notice will be returned as "no hearing requested" unless council objects; the intern appointment and TIF supplemental appropriations were set to appear on the Feb. 16 agenda for adoption.
