Hebron council adopts several ordinances including Microsoft capital fund and awards road contract to Strawser Paving
Summary
At its June 26 meeting the Hebron Council suspended readings and unanimously adopted multiple ordinances — including a capital project fund tied to a Microsoft development agreement, a community initiatives fund and a roadway contract awarded to Strawser Paving — and recorded a failed motion on a separate residential proposal.
Hebron Council used roll-call votes June 26 to adopt several ordinances and formal actions and to record one failed motion.
Resolution 24-08 supporting the Ohio Commission for the United States Semiquincentennial (America250-OH) was adopted by roll call after a third reading. Resolution 24-09 (a proposed replacement police levy for the November 5, 2024 ballot) was presented at second reading and was not acted on at the meeting.
Ordinance 19-24 (replacement pages to the Hebron codified ordinances) was suspended and adopted under emergency language. Ordinance 20-24 was adopted to create a capital project fund related to a development agreement executed by Microsoft Corporation and the Village of Hebron; the council suspended the three-reading rule so the ordinance could be sent to the Auditor’s Office. Ordinance 21-24 creates a Community Initiatives and Enhancement Fund funded in part by a donation from the Licking County Foundation; council suspended readings and adopted the ordinance. The village opened sealed bids for miscellaneous roadway improvements and awarded the contract to Strawser Paving by adopting Ordinance 22-24.
A Planning & Zoning recommendation to rezone a property on Main Street/9th Street was adopted and the solicitor was directed to draft legislation with emergency language. A motion to adopt a Planning & Zoning recommendation for MI Homes to allow a Planned Residential Development on West Main Street was moved but not seconded and therefore failed.
Council also directed the village solicitor to draft legislation to create two part‑time Utility Billing Coordinator positions to maintain coverage if the current coordinator reduces to part time.
All recorded affirmative roll-call votes at the meeting were unanimous among the five councilmembers present; one councilmember (Annelle Porter) was excused.
