Fort Recovery council approves package of routine resolutions, advances administrator-residency ordinance
Summary
The Village of Fort Recovery Council unanimously approved six resolutions — including measures on a water pollution control loan application, cyber security and an updated laptop-use policy — and moved an ordinance on the village administrator's residency to second reading at its Jan. 19 meeting.
The Village of Fort Recovery Council on Jan. 19 unanimously approved a set of routine resolutions and advanced an ordinance on the village administrator's residency to a second reading.
The council passed RES 2026-04 authorizing the village administrator to apply for and enter into a Water Pollution Control Loan Fund agreement. Council also adopted RES 2026-05 to allow the fiscal officer to execute an OPERS conversion plan that permits employees to roll over or cash out up to 40 hours of vacation leave. Scott Pearson moved to suspend the rules on these items and Al Post moved passage; the motions were recorded as adopted unanimously by members present.
Council members also approved RES 2026-06 (authorization to sell surplus items by internet auction during 2026), RES 2026-07 (an updated acceptable-use policy for laptops issued to elected officials, replacing a prior tablet policy) and RES 2026-08 (designating Park National Bank as the village depository). Later the council approved RES 2026-09 to adopt a cyber security program and declared an emergency. In addition, the council moved ORD 2026-01 (approving the village administrator's residency outside village limits) to a second reading. For each resolution and the ordinance action the meeting record notes the motions, seconds and that the vote was "all yes" among members present.
Mayor Dave Kaup summarized a separate operational update, saying the ambulance district has ordered a replacement ambulance and expects delivery in summer 2028 at a cost of about $370,000; Kaup noted a $37,000 down payment had been made. "They do have the next ambulance ordered to be delivered in the summer 2028," Kaup said during the meeting.
Why it matters: The package of adopted resolutions includes financial and administrative items that enable capital-project financing steps (the water pollution loan fund application) and internal policy updates (cyber security and laptop use). Moving the administrator-residency ordinance to a second reading keeps the matter on the council's agenda for further consideration.
Votes at a glance: The meeting transcript records each resolution and the ordinance motion as carried by unanimous votes among the council members present at the time (the roll call listed five council members present at the start of the meeting). The record does not list individual roll-call vote names for each motion in the transcript; the minutes state the motions passed "all yes." The council approved the minutes for the Jan. 5 meeting earlier in the session with a motion by Scott Pearson and a second by Al Post.
The council also reviewed routine financial paperwork (checks 33999–34023 and listed electronic payments) and approved them before adjourning at 7:59 p.m.
