Versailles council adopts package of ordinances, resolutions and capital approvals
Summary
At its May 27 meeting the Versailles Village Council unanimously approved a set of ordinances and resolutions — including a condemnation/demolition code and short-term rental regulations — authorized capital purchases and accepted several contracts and change orders.
The Versailles Village Council on May 27 adopted a bundle of ordinances and resolutions that officials said update local code, authorize short-term rental rules and move forward with several capital and contract items.
Attorney Matt Pierron read a series of measures aloud and council members voted unanimously on each. Key approvals included Ordinance No. 26-21, establishing a Condemnation and Demolition code; Ordinance No. 26-22, adding chapter 114 to regulate Short-Term Rental Operations; and Resolution No. 26-23, setting a $500 reimbursement limit for village employees. Pierron also read Resolution No. 26-27 (sale of surplus vehicles and equipment) for a second time; that item will return for final action later.
The council declared an emergency and adopted Ordinance No. 26-28 to amend the 2026 annual appropriation ordinance. Officials approved Resolution No. 26-29 authorizing the Village Administrator to execute a natural gas aggregation supply contract with Interstate Gas Supply (IGS Energy), and they adopted Resolution No. 26-30 to execute a Bright Mountain Solar schedule with American Municipal Power.
Infrastructure and capital items approved included Resolution No. 26-31, declaring it necessary to install sidewalks on the north side of Reed Avenue between Grand Avenue and west of 635 Reed Avenue; approval of Change Order #1 for the Terry Street 500,000-gallon tower interior coating improvements with E&L Contractors, Inc., totaling $16,400; and the acceptance of a new liquor license for El Herradero with the hearing waived. The council also approved Ordinance No. 26-32, authorizing lease-purchase financing for a fire truck and an ambulance and related agreements.
Council motions were moved and seconded by members present and recorded as "yeas"; roll call at the start of the meeting listed Mayor Dammeyer and council members Griesdorn, Steinbrunner, Dieringer, Shaffer, Weaver and Pepple as present.
Why it matters: The adopted ordinances change local code (notably the demolition and short-term rental regulations), authorize spending and contract commitments that will affect village operations and infrastructure, and set procedural policy limits such as employee reimbursements. Many of the measures were passed on emergency declarations, allowing immediate effect under the village charter.
Next steps: Resolution No. 26-27 was read for a second time and will return for final action. The council scheduled its next regular meetings for June 10 and June 24 at the Versailles Fire/EMS Station.
