Piqua commission approves consent agenda, code supplement and tower maintenance contracts
Summary
The commission approved the consent agenda (including two appointments), adopted ordinance O-2-26 (code supplement), and approved Resolution R-68-26 to fund 2026 water-tower maintenance; Commissioner Walker abstained on the consent vote.
At its meeting the Piqua City Commission approved several routine and substantive items: the consent agenda (which included two appointments), ordinance O-2-26 (third reading, a supplement to the city Code of Ordinances) and Resolution R-68-26 authorizing purchase orders for 2026 water-tower maintenance.
Public commenters raised concerns about the use of the consent agenda for substantive items and asked the commission to move some appointments into the business agenda so deliberations would be visible in meeting minutes. Commissioner Walker abstained on the consent vote; the other commissioners voted in favor.
On O-2-26 a member of the public asked if previously noted typographical corrections had been made; staff said at least one known typo was fixed. On R-68-26 staff explained the tower maintenance program and confirmed that maintenance for any future tower would be paid from the city’s water fund rather than escrowing developer funds for indefinite future maintenance.
Votes at a glance: - Consent agenda (minutes of May 5; R-69-26 and R-70-26 appointments): approved (Commissioner Walker abstained on roll call). - Ordinance O-2-26 (adopt supplement to code of ordinances, third reading): approved by roll call. - Resolution R-68-26 (Utility Service Co. for 2026 water tower maintenance): approved by voice vote.
Next steps: staff will post corrected and final documents where needed and continue routine administration of adopted items.
