Council schedules first reading for ordinance to dedicate 7 Hills Boulevard

The Seven Hills City Council moved on a voice vote to place ordinance 30-2026, which would dedicate the 7 Hills Boulevard extension, on the council’s next meeting agenda for a first reading. The motion was made by the council president and seconded by Pro Tem Costanza; members approved the motion by voice.

Director Gerson, who is identified in a later portion of the transcript as "Director Garrison," told the council that the planning commission had approved the dedication as the first step. He said the lot-split portion of the project must still go back before the planning commission. "Planning commission, I believe, approved the dedication of 7 Hills Boulevard," the director said, and added that the lot split will likely be considered at the next planning commission meeting.

Under the timeline described by the director, the council can place the ordinance on a routine first-reading agenda now and wait for the planning commission to complete the lot split in September, or move more quickly later by declaring an emergency if timing requires. The council president moved to add the ordinance to the next agenda for a first reading so the matter remains active and on the formal schedule.

The motion to put ordinance 30-2026 on the agenda passed by voice vote with no recorded roll-call in the transcript. The planning commission’s forthcoming lot-split decision is the next procedural step the council identified; no final adoption or second/third-reading votes were held at this meeting.
