Council approves a package of ordinances including grant applications and contract amendments
Summary
Council passed a set of routine ordinances on first reading: contract amendment with Poenbrink Excavating, grant application for Lincoln Park East, repeal of a chapter in codified ordinances, a drug-prevention grant to support DARE, a fire-code amendment, and historic preservation board appointments.
Following the Cable Road debate, council moved through a set of ordinances and recorded roll-call votes. Ordinance 94-26 authorizes the mayor to amend a contract with Poenbrink Excavating LLC (as authorized under a prior ordinance). Ordinance 95-26 authorizes applying for and administering Visit Greater Lima grant funds for Lincoln Park East. Ordinance 96-26 repeals an older codified ordinance chapter. Ordinance 97-26 authorizes applying for Ohio Attorney General Drug Use Prevention Grant funds, which Councilor Gordon noted would help offset the DARE officer's salary. Ordinances 98-26 and 99-26 amend the city's fire-code provisions and confirm historic preservation board appointments, respectively.
Clerks recorded unanimous 8-0 votes on the listed measures where indicated, and council directed the law director to prepare any necessary legislation referenced by communications. Councilors did not debate substantive changes to these items at length; several were referred to committees for further work where noted.
