Troy City Council on April 20 moved quickly through a bundle of readings and emergency actions, adopting a seven‑year full‑service street‑lighting agreement, accepting a final record plan for Somerset Reserve Phase 2, approving a lease for the Barn in the Park, and authorizing festival permits and designated refreshment area activation for the Troy Strawberry Festival.
Resolution R24‑2026 authorized a seven‑year full‑service street‑lighting agreement with Miami Valley Lighting LLC retroactive to Jan. 1, 2026; council suspended readings and adopted the resolution by unanimous roll call.
Council also adopted Ordinance 018‑2026 accepting the final record plan for Somerset Reserve Planned Development Residential Phase 2 and dedicating right‑of‑way, as recommended by the Troy Planning Commission.
Ordinance 020‑2026 authorizing a lease between the Board of Park Commissioners and the Community Improvement Corporation of Troy, Ohio for the Barn in the Park was adopted, allowing the CIC to handle future subleases of that property.
Council adopted two festival‑related ordinances: Ordinance 021‑2026 authorizing use of public areas and permitting beer sales subject to state permits and insurance for the Troy Strawberry Festival (June 5–7, 2026), and Ordinance 022‑2026 permitting the expansion/activation of the designated outdoor refreshment area for the festival dates.
