The Village of South Bloomfield on March 16 appointed Kyle McCoy as a full‑time police officer and approved a mutual‑aid agreement with the Pickaway County Sheriff's Office, both passed as emergency measures with unanimous council votes.
Council first approved Resolution 2026‑03 to appoint Kyle McCoy; the council waived the second and third readings and passed the resolution as an emergency. Officer Kyle McCoy gave a brief introduction of his experience and was sworn in by Mayor Aaron Thomas.
Council also approved Resolution 2026‑05 to enter a mutual‑aid agreement with the Pickaway County Sheriff's Office; the resolution was advanced and passed as an emergency with a unanimous roll call vote. The agreement was presented as a measure to formalize cooperative law‑enforcement support with neighboring county resources.
Council handled both measures through standard motions and unanimous roll‑call votes. For Res. 2026‑03 the first‑reading motion was moved by Council member Lisa McDorman, seconded by Woody Blanton; the waiver and emergency passage was moved by McDorman and seconded by Amber Murphy. For Res. 2026‑05 the first reading and waiver were moved and seconded (Amber Murphy moved; Lisa McDorman seconded); recorded council votes on these motions were Tim Ooten: yes, Woody Blanton: yes, Lisa McDorman: yes, Sean Shaw: yes, Amber Murphy: yes.
Chief of Police Michael Maynard earlier updated council that some equipment destruction was delayed because the PPG incinerator was down; he also asked whether officers could pursue FBINAA leadership training because state options are limited, which council did not object to. The mutual‑aid agreement and the new hire together reflect immediate steps the village is taking to maintain police staffing and interagency support.
The council also approved a related administrative emergency resolution (Res. 2026‑04) amending an earlier resolution; the transcript records the amendment's passage but does not include the amendment's substantive text.
The council adjourned at 6:52 p.m.
