The Reynoldsburg City Council on Sept. 22 approved a package of resolutions and emergency ordinances by unanimous roll calls (6–0).
After committee recommendations, council approved consent agenda items 10a–d by voice and roll call. The package included: a resolution authorizing the city auditor to remove cruiser 276 (a 2018 Ford Interceptor with 106,688 miles) from the police department fixed asset list; a resolution authorizing the mayor to participate in a newly renegotiated settlement with Purdue Pharma LP (the city attorney said the new agreement includes more than $1,000,000,000 in additional funding and removes blanket immunity for the Sackler family); a resolution adopting a consolidated master fee schedule for city charges and permits; and a resolution to accept public infrastructure associated with the Trivium/Paragon development project. The clerk recorded a 6‑0 roll call (Councilmembers Hill, Kotner, Baker, Johnson, Towns and President Strickland voting aye).
The council also approved emergency adoption items 11a and 11b by a separate 6‑0 roll call. Item 11a is an ordinance authorizing appropriation of funds for the city's 2025 Street Improvement Program, Part 2, updated with recent bid results and proposing use of permissive county tax funds for six identified courts/roads. Item 11b authorizes the mayor to enter a project grant/loan agreement with the Ohio Public Works Commission (OPWC) for the Summit Road reconstruction project and appropriates funds; it was presented as an emergency to keep the work on the construction schedule.
Motions and seconds for the consent vote were recorded (motion by Council Member Baker; second by Council Member Johnson for the consent resolutions; similar motion/second recorded for the emergency ordinances). The clerk read the items aloud before roll calls; no recorded negative votes or abstentions were entered. Several items had been previously discussed and forwarded to council by committee earlier in the meeting.
The council scheduled its next regular meeting for Oct. 13, 2025.
