Council Approves Cooperation Agreement with Hamilton County for CDBG Funds
Resolution 2026-R06E authorizes the Safety Service Director to enter into an agreement of cooperation with Hamilton County, Ohio, under the Housing and Community Development Act of 1974, as amended. This continues the partnership for CDBG funds, which have previously been used for improvements at Gower Park and the Gorman Park community center. Although typically handled administratively, legislation was required this time, a process last seen in 2002. The resolution was approved.
City Reaffirms Pro-Housing Development Policy to Support Revitalization
Emergency Resolution 2026-R08E reaffirms and ratifies the city's pro-housing development policy. This policy aims to implement the city's comprehensive planning framework, support housing production, remove development barriers, and advance residential and mixed-use redevelopment in priority areas. This action is part of efforts to secure grant funding for downtown revitalization and offset the city's cash contribution. The city is requesting $2.1 million from the state for fiscal year 27. The resolution encourages the continuation of these efforts and was approved.
Resident Concerns Raised Over Duke Energy Tree Trimming Practices
A resident inquired about petitioning Duke Energy to place utilities underground on Carriage Light street due to recurring tree trimming that damages trees. Mr. Lucas noted that undergrounding utilities is very expensive. Another resident confirmed Duke's policy of a 10-foot trimming rule, which can lead to oddly shaped trees and subsequent tree death, requiring property owners to bear the cost of removal if the tree dies. There is no immediate city action planned regarding underground utilities, but the issue highlights resident concerns about tree health and utility infrastructure maintenance.
City to Participate in ODOT Cooperative Purchasing Program
Resolution 2026-R07E authorizes participation in the Ohio Department of Transportation (ODOT) Cooperative Purchasing Program. This program allows the city to utilize ODOT's pre-bid contracts for services like lining culverts, which are more competitively priced than the city's own bidding process. This will save the city time and money on bidding. The resolution was approved.
Council Approves Funding for Fields Ertel Intersection Improvements
Ordinance 2026-31E authorizes the Safety Service Director to enter into an intergovernmental agreement for the Fields Ertel intersection improvement project. This is a Hamilton County-led project involving widening, adding turn lanes at McCauley and Fields Ertel, and installing a traffic signal and roundabout at Conner. Additional funds were required due to updated costs from Duke Energy for utility relocations and the project's bid opening. These additional costs are being split equally (one-third each) among Sycamore Township, Sharonville, and Hamilton County. The ordinance appropriates these funds to proceed with the project.
