Votes at a glance: storm drainage, cybersecurity, paving grant and YMCA contract approved
Summary
At its Feb. 17 meeting Wooster council adopted multiple items by roll call: an update to storm drainage utility charges, a city cybersecurity program, a $142,550 ODOT paving grant appropriation, and a contract with the Wooster YMCA to continue pool operations.
The Wooster City Council approved several formal actions Feb. 17. Key outcomes:
Ordinance 2026-03 (storm drainage update) — Council suspended the rules and adopted an ordinance to update storm-drainage utility charges and rates to conform with recent zoning changes. The measure was presented as a technical update and passed by roll call.
Resolution 2026-05 (city cybersecurity program) — Council suspended the rules and adopted a resolution to implement a city cybersecurity program in compliance with Ohio law. Staff said the program already exists as an internal document and will be available for review by appointment.
Ordinance 2026-07 (annual appropriation amendment) — The council accepted an additional ODOT grant of $142,550 to accelerate resurfacing work; the appropriation was suspended and adopted and will be used for incremental street resurfacing identified in the city budget.
Resolution 2026-08 (YMCA contract) — Council authorized the director of administration to contract with the Wooster YMCA to provide lifeguards, managers and related pool operations. Officials said the YMCA provided roughly 40 staff who worked about 7,000 hours last year; the contract was adopted by roll call.
Each passage was recorded by roll call in the meeting transcript. The council also adopted other items (see individual meeting minutes) and set outstanding legislative items for further readings where needed.
