Greenville City Council adopts IT-equipment sale, approves paving contract and rezones Old East School property
Summary
At its July 15 meeting the Greenville City Council unanimously approved a resolution to sell surplus IT equipment online, authorized a professional-services contract with Choice One for 2025 maintenance paving (budgeted expense), and adopted an ordinance rezoning the Old East School property to a planned residential development for Robinson Bonanzer Development LLC.
Greenville City Council voted unanimously on July 15 to move forward with three administrative actions: authorizing online sale of surplus IT equipment, approving a professional-services contract for maintenance paving, and rezoning the Old East School property to allow a planned residential development.
The council adopted a resolution allowing the city to dispose of no-longer-needed IT department equipment on GovDeals, an online auction site. Councilmembers asked how minimum bids are set and whether devices are wiped of city data; staff said minimums are set at salvage value and servers and computers are wiped before sale. The council approved the resolution on a roll-call vote with all members recorded as voting in the affirmative.
Council also approved a resolution authorizing the Safety Service Director to enter into a professional-services contract with Choice One (engineering) for 2025 maintenance paving work. Council discussion confirmed the contract is a budgeted expense; a councilmember noted a figure in the meeting materials of $4,200, which staff characterized as the amount shown in the submitted paperwork. The resolution passed on a roll call with all members recorded as voting yes.
Finally, the council adopted an ordinance to rezone the Old East School property from Special Use to Planned Unit Development Residential (PUDR) at the request of Robinson Bonanzer Development LLC. The planning-and-zoning commission had recommended approval following a public hearing. Council members voted to suspend rules, read the ordinance by title, and adopt it by roll call.
Votes at a glance: the transcript records roll-call yes votes from Councilmember Godwin, Councilmember Norris, Councilmember Rogers, Councilmember White, Councilmember Wilman, Councilmember Brown and Councilmember Elie on the passage of all three items.
The council scheduled a public hearing related to related Green Street zoning for the second meeting in August. The meeting then moved into an executive session under Ohio Rev. Code 121.22(G)(3) to consult with the city attorney on a matter involving pending or imminent court action.
