Council approves pavilion purchase, bank depository agreement, body‑camera grant, donation and a building permit
Summary
At its April 6 meeting the Bryan City Council approved a pavilion purchase via Omnia Partners, a five‑year depository agreement with WesBanco, acceptance of an $8,462.90 body‑worn camera grant, a $1,000 donation for police training, and a 464‑sq‑ft building permit for a commercial property; all measures passed by voice vote.
The Bryan City Council on April 6 approved several routine procurement and finance items, accepting outside funding and approving a commercial permit.
Pavilion purchase (Ordinance 16‑20‑26): Clerk read an ordinance authorizing procurement of a Lincoln Park pavilion kit, engineered drawings and anchor bolt kit from GameTime via the Omnia cooperative purchasing program (contract 2017001134). Staff (S9) said the City will solicit local contractors to install the kit and will add cameras on the west side of the property; council suspended the rules and approved the ordinance.
WesBanco depository (Resolution 23‑20‑26): Council approved a five‑year depository agreement designating WesBanco as the city depository for active and interim funds from May 5, 2026 through May 4, 2031. Staff noted the City is not changing providers now and that Ohio Revised Code allows the city discretion, though it may go to bid if it chooses to change in the future.
Body‑worn camera grant (Resolution 24‑20‑26): Council accepted $8,462.90 from the Ohio Criminal Justice System to support the Bryan Police Department's body‑worn camera program. Staff said the award covers a portion of the body cams' maintenance/service (not necessarily all new equipment), and confirmed policy requires officers to activate cameras during public interactions.
Donation for training (Resolution 25‑20‑26): Council accepted a $1,000 donation from the Bryan Fraternal Order of Eagles No. 2233 to purchase a moving target for police training and requalification.
Building permit (1310 West High Street): A building permit for a 464‑sq‑ft addition to a gas station at 1310 West High Street was presented with an estimated cost of $150,000; Saint Holtzman Karnes was listed as the general contractor in the permit; council approved the permit.
All listed agenda items were approved following motions to suspend the rules where requested; votes were recorded by verbal roll call with unanimous 'Yes' responses in the transcript.
What the council did not do: No construction authorizations beyond permitting and procurement were approved; the pavilion purchase authorizes procurement of the kit and solicitation of local contractors for installation, not immediate installation by city staff.
