Council adopts ordinance expanding options for city real-property disposition
Summary
The council adopted Ordinance 18-2026 to establish Chapter 165 on real property transactions, giving the city more flexibility when disposing of property; council members said the change is intended to expand options and not limit future dispositions.
The North Canton City Council voted to adopt Ordinance 18-2026, which creates Chapter 165 of the codified ordinances to govern real-property transactions. According to council discussion, the change gives the city additional options for the sale or other disposition of city-owned real estate rather than restricting the city to a single pathway.
A council member explained that the ordinance "gives the city some flexibility" in disposing of property, noting council had discussed the change at a prior meeting and that staff had not reported substantive alterations since that discussion. After the title was read, the motion to adopt received a second and the ordinance passed by voice vote.
Council did not present a detailed list of new disposal mechanisms in the meeting transcript; the measure was described in summary form as an administrative update to the city code to broaden options for how property may be handled.
The ordinance will be codified as Chapter 165; staff and council indicated the change had been reviewed in prior sessions and is intended to streamline future real-estate decisions.
