Canton City Council adopts Ordinance 11 to fund 2025 summer youth programs; appoints Steve Bouchard to Board of Health
Summary
Council suspended rules to advance and adopt Ordinance No. 11 (authorizing contracts necessary to implement 2025 summer youth programs) by a 12-0 roll-call and adopted Informal Resolution No. 1 appointing Steve Bouchard to the Board of Health (term 03/31/2025–03/31/2030).
The Canton City Council moved and approved several procedural and substantive items during the meeting, including adoption of Ordinance No. 11 to implement the city’s 2025 summer youth programs and confirmation of a Board of Health appointment.
A council member moved to suspend statutory rules to advance Ordinance No. 11 so the body could act during the same meeting; the motion was seconded and a roll-call vote recorded 12 yeas. The council then moved to adopt Ordinance No. 11, described by the clerk as authorizing the mayor or director of public service to enter into contracts necessary to implement the 2025 summer youth programs, amend the final budget for 2025, and declare the ordinance an emergency. The roll-call vote to adopt registered 12 ayes and the ordinance was adopted.
Earlier in the meeting the clerk read Informal Resolution No. 1, which confirms the appointment of Steve Bouchard to the Board of Health for a term commencing 03/31/2025 and expiring 03/31/2030. A motion to adopt the resolution carried by voice vote and the council thanked Bouchard for agreeing to serve.
The clerk also read first-reading items that were referred to the Finance Committee, including an ordinance authorizing a professional services contract with Danis LLC for design engineering on the Broad Avenue Northwest water-line replacement project, and a proposed three-year contract with Habitat for Humanity East Central Ohio for $150,000 per year to support home rehab and garage construction within the city; those items were referred to the Finance Committee for review.
The council announced committee meeting dates: the next meeting date listed was April 7, 2025, and members noted the Finance Committee will meet on April 6 at 6:45.
No amendments to Ordinance No. 11 were recorded in the meeting transcript and no budget line-item details beyond the statement that the final 2025 budget would be amended were provided in the oral record.
