Summary
Bowling Green council suspended rules and adopted several ordinances tonight — including the 2026 code supplement and appropriations — approved participation in ODOT road-salt contracts (emergency clause adopted), amended and adopted an ordinance on community reinvestment areas by substitution, and scheduled a June 1 public hearing on a zoning amendment.
The Bowling Green City Council moved through a series of readings and votes tonight, approving multiple ordinances and scheduling a public hearing on zoning changes.
Council suspended the rules and adopted Ordinance 9349 enacting the 2026 s-18 supplement to the code of ordinances and Ordinance 9350 providing supplemental appropriations for fiscal year 2026. The council also suspended rules, adopted an emergency clause and approved Ordinance 9352 to authorize participation in ODOT road-salt contracts for 2026. Several of these items were carried by roll-call votes.
Council gave first readings to Ordinance 9353 (creating section 1-24 concerning short-term rentals) and Ordinance 9354 (amending certain sections of chapter 150 of the codified ordinances related to zoning). Miss Elliott (S15) scheduled the required public hearing for Ordinance 9354 for "June 1 at 06:30," giving the public an opportunity to comment before further action.
Council debated and amended Ordinance 9346 (community reinvestment areas) by substitution to remove an owner-occupancy requirement and then adopted it as amended. The utilities-related Ordinance 9347, authorizing a painting agreement with Bowling Green State University for the Carter Park water tower, was passed with an emergency clause cited to an ODOT scheduling constraint.
All ordinances listed as adopted during the meeting were carried by vote as recorded on the meeting record.
