Summary
The Carrolton Village Council on Feb. 9 unanimously approved a resolution to apply for an OMEGA RTPO capital allocation grant to fund design and engineering for a proposed Canton Road sidewalk, approved planning commission recommendations on two property adjustments, and agreed to proceed with evaluating a donated 46-acre parcel; routine bills and a July 4 parade were also approved.
Carrolton Village Council on Feb. 9 approved a resolution to apply for funding to design and engineer a proposed sidewalk along Canton Road (State Route 43) and cleared several routine planning and administrative items.
Mayor William J. Stoneman read Resolution R#2026-04 as an emergency after Council member Locke moved for an emergency reading and Council member Tangler seconded. The council then voted 6-0 to approve sending an application to the OMEGA Regional Transportation Planning Organization’s capital allocation program to seek financial assistance for design and engineering of the Canton Road sidewalk.
The council also acted on two Planning Commission recommendations. Council member Barto moved to approve a lot split for 283 2nd Street (Lot 101) so the parcel may be sold either subdivided or as a whole; Council member Parker seconded and the motion carried 6-0. Council member Parker moved and Council member Tangler seconded approval of a replat to allow the Rite Aid property to be sold as a single parcel; that motion also passed 6-0.
The mayor told council the village has the option to accept a 46-acre parcel being offered by a religious order; the village would have five years to decide. Mayor William J. Stoneman said closing costs on that parcel could be about $3,825, possibly less if Stoneman Title Company handles the closing. Council member Locke moved to proceed with evaluating the gift and Council member Barto seconded; the motion passed unanimously.
Council approved routine financial measures: a motion by Council member Locke, seconded by Tangler, to pay bills carried 6-0; a separate motion by Council member Parker, seconded by Lambert, approved payment of bills without prior certification (6-0).
The council approved a Civic Club request for a July 4 parade commemorating the nation’s 250th anniversary, with Barto moving and Parker seconding; the approval was contingent on proper insurance coverage and passed 6-0. Council also agreed to keep parking meters covered through July 5 after a motion by Tangler and a second from Lambert (6-0).
An executive session to discuss a potential property purchase was called at 7:30 p.m. by motion of Council member Parker and seconded by Barto; council returned to regular session at 7:40 p.m. on a motion by Lambert seconded by Barto, and no action was taken. The meeting adjourned at 7:41 p.m. on a motion by Locke, seconded by Tangler (6-0).
The Village Administrator reported several administrative updates during the meeting, saying, "The new phones were installed last Friday and activated today," that custodial and Kimball contracts have been finalized, and that a tree-donation program for the 5th Street park has gone live with Greens and Things handling purchases to ensure uniformity. The administrator also said information about ordering a 95-gallon tote will be included with monthly billing.
Council minutes show regular business proceeded by unanimous votes on the actions above, with one abstention recorded on the Jan. 28 minutes approval (Council member Lambert).
