The Columbiana City Council recorded roll-call votes on a slate of ordinances and emergency resolutions at its June 16 meeting, approving contracts and routine municipal measures and adopting the 2027 tax budget and related tax-levy certifications.

The council recorded affirmative roll-call votes on these emergency measures as read during the meeting.
The meeting included a recorded vote to adopt the 2027 tax budget after a public hearing; the motion passed on roll call. The council also set a public hearing for July 21, 2026 to consider rezoning approximately 6.279 acres to R3 (high-density residential) for an applicant identified as Lakefront Preserve LLC.
Where the transcript records only procedural “so move”/“second,” the article lists those procedural motions but does not invent mover/second names. Council roll-call tallies were recorded in the meeting transcript for each item and are reflected in the meeting record.
