Xenia council extends Central State University water, sewer agreement to May 18
Summary
The Xenia City Council approved a procedural extension to Central State University's extraterritorial water and sewer agreement through May 18 to allow further negotiations and provide temporary relief during a health-related crisis, voting unanimously after a brief executive session.
The Xenia City Council voted unanimously March 26 to authorize a short extension of Central State University's extraterritorial water and sewer services agreement through May 18, allowing staff more time to negotiate details of the multi-party arrangement.
Council President, speaking from the dais, said the extension was offered “as compassion, humanitarian, give them, health crisis and give us an opportunity to sit down with Central State and work out a few more details in our agreement.” The motion was seconded by Councilman Rubio and approved by roll call.
City Manager Duke confirmed the action is procedural: it authorizes the city manager to grant the extension while staff continues negotiations. The council took the vote after returning from a brief executive session in which the law director indicated the session was for general legal advice.
The extension does not finalize long-term terms; it preserves service continuity while officials continue talks with Central State University and legal counsel. The council did not provide further specifics about changes to rates, service area or long-term governance of the service arrangement during the meeting.
The council moved on to other business after the vote.
