City Commission Meeting, July 14, 2026
Published: Jul 14, 2026
City Approves Purchase of Rock Salt Amidst 23% Price Increase
The City Commission authorized the purchase of rock salt for the 2026-2027 winter season from Morton Salt Incorporated, not to exceed $4,356,187.50, through the Ohio Department of Transportation Cooperative Purchasing Program. This purchase represents a 23% increase in cost from the previous year, marking the highest price since 2010. The increase is attributed to a combination of high demand from a large winter season and increased fuel prices impacting transportation costs.
Bridgewater Subdivision Phases Three and Four Performance Bonds Released
The City Commission is authorizing the release of performance bonds for phases three and four of the Bridgewater subdivision. As the project is complete and all public right-of-way has been accepted, these bonds, which protected the city's interest in case of contractor default, are no longer required and will be released.
Rezoning Application Submitted for Property at 2727 Columbus Avenue
The City Commission is considering an ordinance to amend the zoning map by rezoning 2.94 acres at 2727 Columbus Avenue from the Springfield Township I1 industrial district to the city's ILI light industrial district. This change is to align the property's zoning with the city's designations after annexation, as it was discovered to retain its previous township zoning.
City Resolution Supports Clean Energy Bill in Ohio General Assembly
The City Commission is considering a resolution encouraging the Ohio General Assembly to pass House Bill 303, which aims to establish a community energy pilot program expanding access to clean local energy. This resolution signifies the city's support for the bill, which has already passed the Ohio House. The bill proposes a 4-year pilot program for 1,500 MW of community energy, with specific allocations for distressed lands, commercial, and public roofs.
