Council voted unanimously to adopt Ordinance 12-26 (Lake View Park concession license), Ordinance 13-26 (amended right-of-entry with Fort Clinton Lighthouse Conservancy) and Resolution 26-3 (Memorial Day appropriations); two time-sensitive ordinances to sell a 30% city interest in the County City Building were set for second reading April 21.
On April 14, the Port Clinton City Council adopted three measures and scheduled two time-sensitive first readings for a special meeting on April 21.
Ordinance 12-26: The council adopted an ordinance authorizing the safety service director to enter into a concession license for the Lake View Park concession area. After a motion and second, the clerk called the roll and the ordinance passed unanimously (5-0).
Ordinance 13-26: Council also adopted an ordinance directing the interim director of safety and service to enter into an amended right-of-entry agreement with the Fort Clinton Lighthouse Conservancy. The change expands the license area at Waterworks Park to include landscape mounds, additional benches and picnic tables and modifies fee and terms; the measure passed by roll-call vote (5-0).
Resolution 26-3: Council adopted a resolution appropriating funds to support Memorial Day 2026 decorations, gravesite decoration and memorial services; the resolution passed unanimously.
First readings and special meeting: The clerk read Ordinance 15-26 and Ordinance 16-26, both relating to sale of the city's undivided 30% interest in the property at 1856 East Perry Street (the County City Building). Administration requested the ordinances receive second readings at a special council session on April 21, 2026 at 6 p.m. A council member asked whether the sales contract included contingencies to protect the city if the new city hall schedule slips; a speaker on the record described contract language that delays closing until both parties agree on a 2027 date and provides that the buyer would take possession 90 days after the agreed closing date.
