Green council adopts hazardous‑materials grant, appropriations amendment and rezoning; other measures referred to committee
Summary
At its March 24 meeting the Green City Council adopted a hazardous‑materials training grant resolution (2026‑R13) as an emergency, approved a multi‑fund appropriation amendment (2026‑R06) and adopted a rezoning ordinance (2026‑03); other items were introduced and referred to committee.
The Green City Council on March 24 approved three notable items and introduced others for committee consideration.
The council adopted Resolution 2026‑R13 to accept a safety‑intervention grant from the Ohio Bureau of Workers' Compensation for hazardous‑materials training for fire personnel. The council voted to bypass committee deliberations and the three‑reading rule to treat R13 as an emergency measure; the motion carried by roll call.
Finance Committee chair reported on Resolution 2026‑R06, an amendment adding roughly $4.24 million in appropriations across several funds, including leave payouts and capital and maintenance items. The council adopted R06 as amended after the committee report.
The council also adopted Ordinance 2026‑03, rezoning approximately 2.76 acres at 988 East Turkey Foot Lake Road from R‑1 (single‑family residential) to B‑1 (general business). Planning and Zoning had recommended approval, and no members of the public spoke in opposition at the March 10 public hearing.
Other legislation introduced included 2026‑R14 (a municipal economic development grant agreement with Green Vision Care) and 2026‑R15 (participation in a 2026 direct settlement with multiple remnant defendants tied to an opioid litigation settlement); both were referred to committees for further consideration. Finance staff indicated the city's share of R15 would be marginal (the finance director estimated a proportional share of approximately 0.00037%, amounting to under $5,000).
Procedural notes: In each roll call vote recorded on the floor the clerk announced affirmative responses and declared motions carried; the meeting record shows motions to bypass and to adopt were successful. The council adjourned at the close of the agenda.
What happens next: Items referred to committees will return for further consideration on second reading or after staff follow-up.
