Council approves two state grants, green-lights road contract and real-estate transfer
Summary
Bellefontaine City Council adopted two grant resolutions (a $257,460 Community Corrections Act grant and a technology grant up to $150,000), approved a chip-seal contract ordinance for Township Road 46 and adopted an ordinance accepting real estate near Eastern Avenue.
Bellefontaine City Council approved multiple operational and capital items at the meeting, including two state grant applications, a road contract ordinance and an ordinance accepting city real estate.
The council adopted Resolution 25-06 authorizing the chief probation officer of the Bellefountain Municipal Court to apply for and accept a Community Corrections Act grant from the State of Ohio Department of Rehabilitation and Corrections in the amount of $257,460. The finance committee noted the award is biannual and approximately 5% larger than the last award; funds are intended to support probation operations and to help recover salaries and benefits. The motion to adopt passed by roll call.
Council also approved Resolution 25-07 authorizing the municipal court judge or clerk to apply for and accept up to $150,000 from the Ohio Supreme Court for a new case-management system. The resolution was read, moved and approved by roll call.
On infrastructure, the council considered Ordinance 25-05 (chip seal overlay) authorizing the city engineer and service safety director to enter contracts with the Logan County Engineer’s Office and Harrison Township for a chip-seal overlay of the city portion of Township Road 46 (near State Route 47 toward County Road 13). That ordinance was on second reading and passed after roll-call votes. The streets committee also presented Ordinance 25-01 authorizing acceptance of certain real estate from the Board of County Commissioners near Cooper Avenue (alley/right-of-way behind properties on Eastern Avenue), and the council moved to adopt that ordinance as presented.
These measures were routine approvals that the council recorded by roll call; specific vote tallies were recorded in the meeting transcript for each motion.
