Council places multiple resolutions and a Mitchell Avenue traffic‑calming ordinance on the table
Summary
Council voted to place multiple resolutions and ordinances on the table for the next meeting, including a Metro Infrastructure Fund/SORTA grant application (50% local match to improve chances for a roughly $1.3M project), a tax‑levy resolution for the November ballot, an Energy Alliances agreement, and an ordinance to fund Mitchell Avenue speed cushions (village share $61,715).
Council used its regular motions to place several items on the table for the next meeting rather than taking final action tonight.
Among the items placed on the table: a Hamilton County 9‑1‑1 resolution, a Metro Infrastructure Fund application tied to a SORTA grant (the mayor said the village will increase its local match to 50% to improve the application’s competitiveness; the project would repave a short portion of Washington Street and Tower Avenue from McClelland to Mitchell and was described as a roughly $1,300,000 project with funds expected to be available in 2026), a resolution to put a tax levy on the November ballot (resolution number 6), and resolution number 5 to authorize an agreement with Energy Alliances for an energy aggregation education program.
Council also agreed to place an ordinance on the table for the village’s contribution to a cooperative traffic‑calming project with the City of Cincinnati at the Mitchell Avenue crosswalk near Grama Brockovich Stadium. The mayor said the village’s portion of the contract is $61,715 and asked for an ordinance to be prepared for the next meeting. A motion to place an appropriation ordinance (identified as number 15) on the table was also approved; the auditor told council she will finalize figures related to an outstanding Greenlee Street invoice and capital spending (including a $542,910 second payment on a fire truck and about $5,000 for additional audit review fees).
All motions to place the items on the table carried by voice vote. Council scheduled the next meeting for Thursday, May 22 at 7 p.m., when these items are expected to appear on the agenda for further action.
