Bowling Green council adopts amended FTA Title VI program and approves supplemental 2026 appropriations
Summary
The Bowling Green City Council adopted Resolution 3,902 updating the Federal Transit Administration Title VI program and passed Ordinance 9,343 approving supplemental appropriations for fiscal year 2026. Several routine municipal ordinances were also adopted; three zoning-related ordinances were tabled for public hearings.
Bowling Green City Council adopted Resolution 3,902, approving an amended Federal Transit Administration (FTA) Title VI program, and passed Ordinance 9,343, which provides supplemental appropriations for the City’s 2026 fiscal year.
The council moved to suspend the rules and give Resolution 3,902 its second and third readings; a motion to adopt the resolution followed with no discussion and the presiding officer declared Resolution 3,902 adopted. The resolution updates the city’s Title VI program for transit services as presented by the Transportation and Safety Committee. The transcript records the procedural motions and unanimous verbal assent to adopt the resolution (no written roll call is provided in the record).
Council then considered Ordinance 9,343, described in the record as "providing supplemental and/or amending appropriations for the current expenses and other expenditures of the City of Bowling Green, Ohio" for the fiscal year beginning Jan. 1, 2026 and ending Dec. 31, 2026. Council moved to suspend the rules for second and third readings, then moved to adopt the ordinance. After no discussion, the ordinance was adopted by affirmative vote. The record lists the ordinance number, the fiscal year covered and the motion to adopt; it does not specify dollar amounts or line-item allocations in the spoken record.
In the same meeting council adopted two additional routine ordinances on third reading: Ordinance 9,337, authorizing the utilities director to advertise for bids and enter into leases of municipal property for agricultural purposes; and Ordinance 9,338, authorizing the utilities director to sell vehicles and equipment no longer needed for municipal purposes. Both motions to adopt were moved, seconded and carried with recorded affirmative responses.
The meeting ended with no further action on the zoning items (see separate coverage). The council adjourned after a standard motion to close the session.
Next steps and what’s not in the record: the transcript records the motions, suspensions of rules and spoken approvals but does not contain detailed fiscal figures for Ordinance 9,343, nor the text of the updated Title VI program. Those documents (ordinance text, appropriation schedules, and the FTA Title VI plan) are not included in the spoken record and should be requested from City Clerk Jody or city staff for specifics.
