Lima City Council approves package of ordinances on readings covering parks, contracts and housing
Summary
At its June meeting the Lima City Council passed a set of ordinances — including funding for an amphitheater concession facility, city budget amendments and several property transactions and donations to support housing — all by unanimous 7–0 votes on the readings recorded.
The Lima City Council approved a slate of ordinances at its June meeting, passing items that fund capital projects, authorize public-works contracts and advance housing-related land transfers. Key votes included passage of Ordinance 1 10 26 (amphitheater concession facility funding from the 136th Ohio General Assembly capital budget) and Ordinance 1 16 26 (first reading adopting the 2027 tax budget), among others.
Clerk read each ordinance before the council considered motions. Ordinances authorizing contracts with DWA Recreation Inc., All Temp Refrigeration Inc., Peterson Construction Company and Skodeller Construction Inc. moved forward; ordinances approving sale of real property at 317–319 and 321 Harrison Avenue to Blast Holdings LLC were approved on first reading, and ordinances donating 959 Ritchie Avenue and 948 Rice Avenue to New Lima Housing passed on first reading. Where a mover was recorded, councilors followed standard procedure: for example, "I move the ordinance 1 10 26 be passed on the 2nd reading," was recorded and the clerk then called the roll.
All votes recorded on the agenda items passed by recorded tallies of 7–0 unless noted otherwise on the record. Several items were placed on second reading where noted. For details of each ordinance (identifiers, motion language and recorded outcome) see the council's clerk office; copies of the ordinances are on file with the clerk and city auditor.
