Summary
At its Jan. 5 meeting, Lima City Council passed six ordinances on first reading (each 7-0), including an alley vacation and a zoning change for 1802 South Central Ave to enable redevelopment of the Cheryl Allen Center; an emergency waterline repair contract and receipt of four canine vests were also approved.
Lima City Council approved six ordinances on first reading during its Jan. 5 meeting, each by unanimous 7-0 roll-call votes.
The measures included Ordinance 1-26, authorizing payments from various Lima Municipal Court funds for 2026; Ordinance 2-26, permitting the mayor to enter into an agreement with Downtown Lima Inc.; and Ordinance 3-26, which vacates an alley segment on the 200 block of East 9th Street to allow consolidation of parcels owned by Philippian Missionary Church.
Ordinance 4-26 amends the city zoning map to reclassify the eastern half of parcel 47-0707-14-001 (1802 South Central Ave) from Class 2 to Class 3 residential to support redevelopment of the Cheryl Allen Center. Councilor Glenn said the rezoning was “great news for us,” noting local interest in the project.
Ordinance 5-26 authorizes the mayor to contract with Altera Inc. for an emergency waterline repair. Council also amended and approved Ordinance 6-26 to authorize receipt of four canine vests donated by Vested Interest in K9s, Inc., rather than applying for and administering grant funds; the law director read the amendment into the record before council approved it.
All six ordinances were moved and passed on their first reading by unanimous votes. The council indicated that the detailed reports and supporting documents for the alley vacation and rezoning petitions are on file in the Clerk of Council’s office for public inspection.
The council adjourned following routine miscellaneous business; several items, including the posted public hearings, had no public speakers and will proceed through the legislative process as scheduled.
