Green City Council adopts funding for Graybill turn lane, SR‑241 resurfacing and roundabout agreement; schedules hearings on chicken ordinance
Summary
At its April 22 meeting the Green City Council unanimously adopted resolution R12 to fund a Graybill Road turn lane, adopted R13 to increase the city's share for SR‑241 resurfacing, approved a 50/50 roundabout cost-share agreement with Jackson Township (R14), declined to request a state hearing on a D2 liquor license for Fresh Food Deli (TMP4948), and set a May 13 public hearing on a proposed chicken ordinance (2025-06a).
The Green City Council on April 22 approved a series of infrastructure and permitting items and scheduled a public hearing on a proposed chicken ordinance.
Finance Committee Chair Neugebauer summarized committee recommendations and the council adopted Resolution 2025‑R12, awarding a contract to Barbicus Construction Inc. and appropriating $253,792 from the street construction fund for a Graybill Road turn‑lane project necessitated by new school construction. "This piece of legislation authorizes the city to appropriate $253,792 from the 201 fund," Neugebauer said; the measure passed on a recorded roll‑call vote (adopted 5‑0).
The council also adopted Resolution 2025‑R13, consenting to and cooperating with the Ohio Department of Transportation on the resurfacing of State Route 241 (Maslin Road). Neugebauer told council the city's portion of the project will total $619,944 and requires an additional appropriation of roughly $185,000 from the street construction fund; the amended resolution was adopted 5‑0.
Transportation committee business included Resolution 2025‑R14, an agreement with Jackson Township to share local costs 50/50 for the Mount Pleasant/Arlington Road roundabout (PID 118287). Council moved and adopted R14 by roll call.
Public Safety Committee Chair Babbitt reported on TMP4948, a new D2 liquor license application for Fresh Food Deli Inc. at 5 East Kaston Road. The committee recommended not requesting a state hearing and council approved that motion. "Because we have no issues, we've decided that we don't [request a hearing]," Babbitt said; the motion carried.
On planning matters, Chair Davidis reviewed Ordinance 2025‑06a (second reading), which would lower the minimum acreage for keeping chickens from two acres to 0.45 (20,000 square feet), stage permitted flock sizes by acreage, allow up to 100 permits per year, and add setbacks including a 100‑foot adjacent‑dwelling setback in the April 22 amendment. Davidis said a public hearing on the ordinance will be held during the May 13 council meeting at 7 p.m.
Council also reviewed Resolution 2025‑R16 (second reading), an annual pavement marking contract with a recommended appropriated value of $177,779.14 including a 10% contingency; no final vote was taken.
Administration gave a brief construction update that South Main Street pedestrian signal heads are installed and covered pending curb ramps and power; staff will conduct outreach on operation before activating the signal. Mayor Yergin delivered the mayor's report with updates on gas aggregation pricing options, community events and upcoming seminars.
All votes recorded during the meeting were unanimous where noted; several items were granted time on later readings or set for public hearing, and the meeting adjourned after roll‑call approval of the final motion.
