Upper Arlington introduced Ordinance 30-2026 on Aug. 17, authorizing the city manager to enter an amendment agreement with Perry Township to update the intergovernmental fire and EMS contract. Staff described the change as the third amendment to a 1999 contract and said it formally includes roughly 21 homes in a new development east of Sawmill, near Henderson Road.
A staff member explained the amendment is largely a cleanup: the properties are already served in practice, but maps and contract language needed updating. The three municipalities that provide fire and EMS for Perry Township are coordinating on a broader contract renewal to be considered next year.
The ordinance was introduced for a second reading and council action at the next meeting; staff said the change has minimal run and cost impact.
What happens next: the item will return for a second reading and formal council action at the next meeting.
