City Council Meeting
Published: Jun 24, 2026
Special Assessment Certified for 2761 East Main Street Property Due to Uncompleted Work
The City Council discussed Ordinance 9-26, which certifies special assessments for 2761 East Main Street. The ordinance pertains to work that was not completed by the property owner after being ordered by the city, necessitating the city to perform the work and assess the owner. Although fencing has been erected and remediation work on tanks has begun, this action occurred after the agreed-upon deadline, validating the ordinance and the city's ability to assess the property. The council noted that the contractor had contacted the city for a permit, but the property owner had not directly engaged with the city regarding the work.
Updated Noise Ordinance Adopted by Bexley City Council
The City Council discussed and adopted Ordinance 32-25, a second amended ordinance updating the city's noise code. The ordinance aims to provide clearer, enforceable regulations for noise disturbances, allowing for joint enforcement between the police and code enforcement departments. Key updates include establishing concrete, explainable hours for noise restrictions and addressing outdated language. The council acknowledged the extensive review process, including feedback from police leadership, code enforcement, and administration, to create a well-reasoned and appropriate ordinance. Public comment raised concerns about the 6 p.m. cutoff for certain work, such as roofing, and the process for obtaining special permits for extensions due to weather or urgent needs. The administration clarified that special permits can be granted for public safety, property protection, or other deemed appropriate reasons, and that communication with staff facilitates this process.
City Council Removes Noise Ordinance from Table, Discusses Amendments and Public Concerns
The City Council addressed tabled Ordinance 32-25, concerning updates to the city's noise ordinance. After a lengthy discussion and multiple reviews, the council moved to bring the ordinance off the table. Councilmember Alex Silverman highlighted the collaborative effort to update the noise code, emphasizing clearer regulations, joint enforcement between police and code enforcement, and updated language. Public comment from a resident expressed concerns about the 6 p.m. cutoff for certain work, like roofing, and requested flexibility for special permits. The administration clarified that permits can be granted for public safety and property protection, and that communication is key. The council voted to adopt the amended ordinance, with Councilmember Silverman noting it as an improvement over the current code.
City Council Confirms Board Appointments, Welcomes New Health Board Member
The City Council approved Resolution 06-26, confirming the mayor's appointments to various city boards and commissions. The resolution included some reshuffling of existing members to different roles or statuses based on attendance history and other factors. Notably, Dr. Elise Berlin was appointed to the Board of Health, with multiple council members praising her extensive qualifications and advocacy experience. Reese Grubel was also recognized for his continued service on the Environmental Sustainability Advisory Committee. The resolution was amended to reflect the correct reappointment of Reese Grubel.
Bexley City Council Approves Bed and Breakfast Variance with Amended Employee Presence Restrictions
The City Council heard the third reading and voted on Ordinance 10-26, an ordinance to amend the bed and breakfast use variance for 519 South Drexel Avenue. The applicant, Rob Calibro, owner of the 50 Lincoln Short North Bed and Breakfast, intends to purchase the Bexley Bed and Breakfast and operate it without the requirement of an on-site live-in manager or owner. The primary request was to convert the two-room manager suite into a rentable guest room to improve economic viability. The council debated and ultimately voted to amend the ordinance to state that no employees shall be present between the hours of 11 p.m. and 6 a.m., except for emergency situations. The amended ordinance was then adopted. Staff recommended approval of the application.
