Twinsburg council adopts emergency e‑bike rules, approves fire‑station and storm‑sewer contracts

Twinsburg City Council on May 26 voted unanimously to approve several emergency measures, including an ordinance to add regulations for electric bicycles and key agreements to support a new fire‑protection/EMS station and a storm‑sewer lining contract.

Council adopted Resolution 2026‑67 authorizing the mayor to enter an agreement with Twinsburg Township for construction and outfitting of a fire protection and emergency medical services station. The motion carried on a roll call vote of 6–0.

The council also accepted the low bid from Municipal and Contractor Ceiling Products LLC for a storm‑sewer lining project and declared the contract an emergency under Resolution 2026‑68; the motion passed 6–0.

Separately, council suspended the three‑reading rule and adopted Resolution 2026‑79 (amending a Community Reinvestment Area agreement with "Sir Ron" as recommended by the Tax Incentive Review Council) and Resolution 2026‑80 (assigning a CRA agreement from Twinsburg Industrial Properties 5 LLC to Stack Industrials Incorporated), each adopted as an emergency after successful suspensions of the three‑reading requirement. Recorded votes for both items were 6–0.

Council placed Ordinance 2026‑81 — amendments to code section 373 to regulate the operation of electric bicycles — on third reading under suspension and adopted it as an emergency, also by a 6–0 vote. Council members mentioned the ordinance was intended to address safety concerns about e‑bikes and bicycles ahead of summer months.

No recorded opposition or abstentions were recorded on the adopted items. Several other zoning and sign‑code amendments (Ordinances 2026‑70 through 2026‑74) remained on second reading and were not voted on at the meeting.
