Council places fisheries-management resolution on first reading and moves to executive session for economic development
Summary
Council placed Resolution R27-2026 on first reading to authorize an agreement with the Ohio Department of Natural Resources for fisheries management at Reservoir 2; a question about motorized boats prompted staff clarification, and the council then voted to go into executive session for economic development.
Council placed Resolution number R27-2026 on first reading to authorize the city manager to enter an agreement with the Ohio Department of Natural Resources for a fisheries management program at a local reservoir, and later moved into executive session for economic development.
The presenter read that R27-2026 would authorize "Joseph J. Dennen, city manager of the City of Washington Court House, to enter into an agreement with the Ohio Department of Natural Resources, Division of Wildlife, for the provision of a fisheries management program for the body of water known as Reservoir 2." During discussion a council member asked whether the agreement's language would allow gasoline-powered "ski boats" on the reservoir.
Staff replied that the state template commonly permits motors but that the state typically grants exemptions and that an addendum is used to exempt the city from motorized recreational use where appropriate. The resolution was placed on first reading by unanimous roll call.
Under miscellaneous business the council then moved, seconded and voted to enter executive session under G-7 for economic development; the roll call was unanimous and the council proceeded to executive session.
