Summary
Council approved a conditional-use permit for flash-tattoo events at a Harley-Davidson location, confirmed four mayoral reappointments, approved a reappointment for Jerry Kitchen under verbal approval, and passed an amended appropriations ordinance that added $250 to a recreation fund.
Brook Park City Council on Dec. 16 approved a conditional-use permit allowing flash-tattoo events at a Rock and Roll Hall Harley-Davidson location, confirmed four mayoral reappointments to planning and recreation commissions, and passed an amended appropriations ordinance for fiscal year 2025.
Council suspended the rules to adopt Resolution 28-2025, granting the conditional use permit for flash-tattoo events at the Harley-Davidson site (address read in the meeting, with a council member noting a likely typographical digit in the address). The motion to suspend the rules and adopt carried on the council vote recorded in the meeting.
Mayor Orcutt presented four reappointments — Timothy Chornack and Holly Klingler to the planning commission and Jennifer Rocco and Cynthia Schick to the recreation commission — and council voted to confirm all four. Tim Chornack addressed the council during public comment, thanking the administration and expressing eagerness to continue redevelopment work as a planning commissioner.
Council also added the reappointment of Jerry Kitchen to the recreation commission to tonight’s council agenda under verbal approval; Council President Salvatore recommended Kitchen’s reappointment and said, “He’s done a fabulous job … he’s always there willing to volunteer his time.” The appointment was approved by roll call.
On budget matters, Finance Director Herbert McGahn requested one amendment to Ordinance 11514-2025 (final appropriations for fiscal year ending Dec. 31, 2025): add $250 to the special recreation fund transfers/refunds line in Exhibit A. Council approved the amendment and adopted the ordinance under suspension of rules.
