At its Feb. 17 meeting Norton City Council adopted a series of ordinances and resolutions: guardrail repairs ($12,215), a lot replat at Brookside Drive, sidewalk easement with PPG Industries, declaration of surplus property, and three farmland-renewal resolutions; recorded roll-call votes were unanimous among members present.
Norton City Council on Feb. 17 adopted several ordinances and resolutions covering public-works repairs, land use and easements.
Major outcomes at a glance
- Ordinance 20-2026 (adopted): Authorizes an agreement with Lake Erie Construction Company for guardrail repairs on State Route 585 and State Route 21 within Norton in the amount of $12,215. The council waived the third reading and adopted the ordinance; the roll call recorded 'Yes' votes from Mr. Towsley, Mr. Lukens, Ms. Lee, Mr. Mowery and Mr. Harbert.
- Ordinance 6-2026 (adopted): Approved the replat of Lot 59 at 3879 Brookside Drive to create Lots 59R-1 and 59R-2; council members noted the split would create two standard-sized neighborhood lots and adopted the ordinance by roll call.
- Ordinance 10-2026 (adopted): Authorized execution and delivery of a sidewalk easement with PPG Industries Incorporated; adopted on third reading by recorded roll-call votes.
- Ordinance 11-2026 (adopted): Declared certain city property no longer needed for municipal purposes and adopted by roll call.
- Resolutions 7-2026, 8-2026 and 9-2026 (all adopted): Renewals for placement of farmland in agricultural districts for parcels listed in the meeting (addresses recorded in the notices). Council members voiced support for preserving farmland and each resolution passed on third reading.
Context and reaction: Mr. Rohrer told the council the Governmental Finance Officers Association awarded the city a certificate for excellence in financial reporting for 2024 and congratulated Ms. Keener and her staff. The guardrail project was noted as likely to be reimbursed by insurance.
What happens next: Adopted ordinances become effective per council rules and emergency declarations noted on the ordinances as read; items that require implementation (for example, the guardrail repairs) will proceed to contracting and field work subject to administrative follow-through.
