North Baltimore council adopts animal ordinance, water‑meter contract and several motions in June 10 meeting
Summary
At its June 10 meeting the North Baltimore Village Council adopted an amendment to the village Animals and Fowl ordinance, approved a contract with NECO Water for Neptune My360 services, authorized payment of $896,291.19 in bills and approved motions on property purchase and a staff resignation.
The Village of North Baltimore Council on June 10 adopted Ordinance 2025-09, approving amendments to Chapter 505 (Animals and Fowl), and approved several administrative actions including a contract for water‑meter software and services.
At third reading the council adopted Ordinance 2025-09 after a motion by Councilmember Dee Hefner and a second by Bill Cook; the roll call showed all members present voted in favor. The transcript does not include the ordinance’s full amended text or whether the 'spayed or neutered' language discussed earlier in the meeting was incorporated into the final ordinance text.
The council also adopted Resolution 16-2025, authorizing the village administrator to enter into contracts with NECO Water for Neptune My360 setup, training and annual subscription services and selecting Option A in Exhibit A; Councilmember Tim Engard moved the resolution and the vote was unanimous. Staff noted an incentive: residents who sign up would receive a 10% discount on their first 30 days of water-only billing if they enroll.
On routine business the council approved payment of bills totaling $896,291.19 on a motion by Dave Richmond. The record indicates the motion passed with all members present voting in favor.
After a closed executive session, the council approved outreach to pursue purchase of the village’s old football field — described in the meeting as approximately five acres — for $119,500. The motion to contact Tony Damon about the purchase was made by Paula Beaupry, seconded by Bill Cook, and carried unanimously.
The council accepted the verbal resignation of Kylie Maraches, witnessed by Village Administrator Josh Bender and Finance Officer Matt Clouse, and authorized advertising the vacancy with a posted starting wage of $17.00 to $20.00 per hour.
The meeting record shows the council voted unanimously on the actions recorded above; roll‑call attendance earlier in the meeting listed Mayor Aaron Patterson and six council members as present.
