Council approves police labor pact and advances items including ARPA abatement funding
Summary
At its Aug. 3 meeting, the North College Hill City Council unanimously adopted Resolution 10‑2026 authorizing a collective bargaining agreement with the Fraternal Order of Police and recorded multiple readings on ordinances including an ARPA appropriation for asbestos abatement at 1500 W. Galbraith; roll calls and outcomes were documented on the record.
Council voted 7–0 to adopt Resolution 10‑2026, authorizing the city administrator to execute a collective bargaining agreement with the Fraternal Order of Police, Ohio Labor Council, Inc. The roll call recorded "Yes" votes from all members present.
Council also conducted second and first readings on several ordinances and resolutions: Ordinance 5‑2026 (second reading) would authorize up to $445,382.86 in ARPA funds for asbestos abatement and demolition work at 1500 W. Galbraith; Ordinance 6‑2026 would adjust salaries and staffing levels; Resolution 11‑2026 expresses support for temporary public‑works schedule adjustments during extreme heat. Those items were held at their respective reading stages for further review; no additional appropriations were finalized during the meeting.
Council suspended second and third readings and adopted Resolution 14‑2026 (policy for placement of community little free pantry boxes on city property) in a unanimous roll call (7–0). The resolution names responsible parties in functional terms (finance manager, at least one We Thrive team member, and a community volunteer) for monitoring and maintenance.
The meeting included several roll‑call votes recorded verbatim in the minutes; council directed administration and committee chairs to return with final language and supporting documentation where needed prior to final adoption on ordinances involving funding.
