Reynoldsburg council approves consent agenda, appoints tax‑review members and signs onto opioid settlement
Summary
Council voted unanimously on April 27 to approve the consent agenda, appointed two members to the Board of Tax Review, and advanced an opioid‑settlement plan of claims; several emergency ordinances authorizing bond‑anticipation notes and rights‑of‑way also passed.
Reynoldsburg City Council approved its consent agenda and several emergency ordinances during the April 27 meeting, voting unanimously on multiple items and approving an opioid‑settlement resolution forwarded by the finance committee.
Council President Pacquero moved to approve appointments to the Reynoldsburg Board of Tax Review naming Mark Hall and Franklin Davis to continue their service; council approved the appointment and the motion "carries," according to the record.
The consent agenda (items 10a–f) — which included copier leases, grant acceptance and a resolution authorizing the mayor to sign a proposed opioid litigation settlement plan of claims against six defendants — was approved by roll call, 8–0. Item 10b (an agreement with Ohio State University Hospital for police occupational medical exams) was taken separately and approved 7–0.
On the emergency consent calendar (items 11a–c), council approved ordinances related to right‑of‑way acquisition for Wagoner Road Phase 2 and two bond‑anticipation note issuances — a maximum principal amount of $1,550,000 for municipal water work improvements and $13,910,000 for vehicular transportation improvements — by roll call, 8–0.
The finance committee had described the opioid settlement resolution as "similar to legislation we've had in the past" addressing settlements across the supply chain related to the opioid epidemic; the council forwarded that resolution for approval and then adopted it as part of the consent agenda.
