Bryan City Council approves budget, pavement-marking contract, code updates and an Aldi renovation permit
Summary
The Bryan City Council approved an annual appropriations ordinance, awarded a $163,790 pavement-marking contract, adopted codified ordinance changes to conform with Ohio law, accepted $13,700 in amphitheater donations and approved a 23,881 sq. ft. Aldi renovation permit estimated at $1.86 million.
Bryan City Council on a single meeting session approved multiple items on the consent and regular agenda, including budget appropriations, a pavement-marking contract, codification of city ordinances to align with the Ohio Revised Code, acceptance of donations for the amphitheater and a building permit for an Aldi renovation.
The council read and approved Ordinance 22-2026, providing annual appropriations for the fiscal year ending Dec. 31, 2026, including line items related to park donations and vehicle maintenance funded by insurance proceeds from a past hailstorm. Treasurer John Clark presented the monthly financial reports for the period ending April 30 and said income tax receipts are rebounding after a prior dip.
The council authorized the mayor to enter into a contract with Griffith Pavement Striping LLC for the city’s 2026 Pavement Marking Program after staff reported Griffith was the lone bidder at $163,790, which the presenter said was below the engineer’s estimate. The motion to award the contract passed unanimously on the voice vote recorded in the meeting.
On codification, Mr. Duranzik explained Ordinance 24-2026 would revise city code definitions and provisions to conform with recent changes in the Ohio Revised Code and maintain uniformity between state law and local ordinance language. Councilmembers asked whether municipalities can place local restrictions on low-speed micromobility devices (e-scooters); Duranzik confirmed municipalities may adopt tailored restrictions and cited Archbald as an example the council requested staff to follow up on.
Council also read and approved Resolution 30-2026 to accept $13,700 in donations for the Parks and Recreation amphitheater to support 2026 programming.
On a building-permit item, staff presented plans for an Aldi renovation at 1126 South Main Street. The project was described as a 23,881-square-foot renovation by Deerfield Construction Company with an estimated cost of $1,863,053. Staff said employment details were not available and noted a local manager posted about the project on social media before corporate communications. The permit was approved by council vote.
All motions and ordinances mentioned above were moved, seconded and approved as recorded in open session; no roll-call no votes were recorded in the transcript excerpt beyond the voiced affirmative votes. The meeting adjourned after routine announcements.
