Summary

City Manager Michael Johnson reported a long-standing thermostat problem in council chambers, an upcoming Ohio Auditor of State audit of the city's OPERS pension records, and maintenance needs at the Martin Luther King Center; council voted unanimously to enter executive session to discuss appointment and compensation of utility leadership positions.

City Manager Michael Johnson updated council on multiple administrative matters on April 7, including a nonfunctional thermostat in council chambers that "just tells you what the temperature in a room is" and a selection by the Ohio Auditor of State for an audit of the city's OPERS pension records for 2025. Johnson also described maintenance needs at the Martin Luther King Center and preparations for Little League opening day at city parks.

Johnson requested an executive session to discuss appointments and compensation for the water superintendent, wastewater superintendent and utility director. Mr. Mayo moved to enter executive session for that purpose; the motion, seconded by Mr. McManamon, passed by roll call with all ayes and the council cleared the chambers before later reopening and adjourning.
