Tipp City Council adopts subdivision improvements; reviews budget amendment for police cruiser
Summary
Tipp City Council unanimously adopted an ordinance accepting public improvements in Summit Landing Subdivision Section 3 and held a first reading to move up funding for a police cruiser replacement after an engine failure; council also observed a moment of silence for Ashley Flint and moved into an executive session on economic development.
The Tipp City Council on Feb. 17 adopted an ordinance accepting public improvements completed in Summit Landing Subdivision Section 3 and held a first reading on a budget amendment to replace a police cruiser after an engine failure.
City Manager Eric Mack told the council that the municipal services director and city engineer have approved the developer's work and that "staff recommends approval of this ordinance tonight." The council opened a public hearing on the ordinance, heard no comments, and voted unanimously to adopt the measure. The clerk recorded yes votes from Mister Kessler, Missus Pittenger, Mayor Rogers, President Liddy, Mister Cox and Mister O'Neil.
The ordinance accepted the subdivisions' final sidewalks and final course of asphalt as completed by the developer of Summit Landing Section 3; the ordinance was introduced by Mister Kessler and passed on second reading.
On a separate item, City Manager Eric Mack presented a first reading of an ordinance to amend the 2026 appropriations to appropriate funds for an unanticipated event: the replacement of a police cruiser whose engine failed. Mack said the cruiser had been scheduled for replacement next year, but staff requested moving the purchase into this fiscal year. The ordinance is on first reading and no final vote was taken; the appropriation amount was not specified in the council discussion.
Before business, the council observed a 30-second moment of silence for Ashley Flint. Several council members reflected on Flint's community involvement; Mister Cox said she was "a mentor to a lot of young children" and Mayor Rogers expressed the council's sympathies and noted that local law enforcement is continuing its investigation.
Citing Ohio Revised Code §121.22 and Tipp City Code of Ordinances rule 31.34, the council moved into an executive session on economic development after council member and city manager comments. The presiding official said no further city business would be conducted when the council returned from executive session.
The council also approved the meeting agenda and approved minutes from its Feb. 2 work session and regular meeting by recorded vote earlier in the evening.
