Crescent Springs Council Meeting
The meeting commenced with an invocation. Key discussions included a legislative update provided by Senator McDaniel, focusing extensively on the state budget crafted during an unusual year, which involved significant spending reductions for the current year and the subsequent one-year budget. Specific legislative items covered included sex offender residency restrictions, mandatory contact numbers on student IDs, photo ID requirements for the November election, anti-human trafficking measures, security for critical infrastructure against drones, changes to jury duty identification, direct shipment of liquor, veterinarian reporting of suspected abuse, and gubernatorial candidate running mate selection procedures. Further discussions centered on local infrastructure and traffic concerns, particularly regarding road projects on Turkey Foot Road, the Buttermilk Orphanage alignment, I-75/I-275 rework, and traffic constraints caused by new housing developments in areas like Western Reserve and near the Wessels/Sanctuary projects. There were calls for regional meetings to address these growing traffic issues proactively. Additionally, there were discussions regarding an excise tax on vaping products, the extension of the state tax filing deadline, implementation of a ground ambulance provider assessment, and the definition of professional firefighter to include airport firefighters.

Council Council
The meeting commenced with a roll call and the approval of the minutes for the January 14, 2019, Council Meeting and the February 4, 2019, Special Meeting. The Fire Chief reported on January statistics, noting 71 ambulance runs and 62 fire calls, and expressed pride in achieving an ISO Class 2 rating, which is expected to lead to lower insurance rates. The Finance report covered seven-month (ending January 31st) and six-month financial figures, highlighting lower year-to-date revenues compared to the prior year, primarily due to missing insurance premium tax receipts. Expense increases were noted in payroll for the Administration (up 10%) and Public Works (up 20%) departments. The Public Works update mentioned replacing an old furnace/AC unit at the city building and dealing with staff turnover. The Mayor's report included discussion and approval of a survey letter to residents costing $1,600. New Business involved a presentation on text amendments to the zoning ordinance concerning restaurants, specifically allowing drive-throughs only as an accessory use (not standalone), permitting outdoor dining with specific limitations on size, hours, and setbacks, and significantly decreasing required parking spaces from one per 65 square feet to one per 125 square feet (plus employee requirements). The Planning Commission gave a favorable, unanimous recommendation for these amendments. Updates were also provided regarding construction traffic impact from a planned median installation on Buttermilk Road by the state, which was implemented without notifying property owners.

Council Regular Meeting
The meeting included a prayer and the approval of general council meeting minutes, with subsequent discussion regarding an amendment to a paragraph concerning public street use restrictions for construction traffic related to Crescent Springs. The Fire Department reported on responding to an incident where a young man got his foot stuck between train cars, and a major semi-tractor-trailer accident on I-75. Financial matters included a review of the 11-month financial report ending May 31st, confirming a prior accounting discrepancy was resolved as a book entry, and showing that revenue was ahead of expenses year-to-date. Updates were provided on property sales and development agreements, including one with Anchor Properties and a favorable recommendation for a total overlay from Kent County Planning Commission. There were discussions regarding proposed new construction projects, including an office on Ritchie Street and the second phase of a Sherwin-Williams development featuring an AT&T store. The City Administrator presented needs for equipment replacement, specifically a new dump truck (with plans to piggyback on the county's bid), a replacement Bobcat, and repairs for a backhoe attachment, totaling approximately $186,000, with financing options being explored. Additionally, there were discussions about LED lighting requirements for streetlights and relocating a utility pole on Crescent Springs Road.

City Council Council Meeting
The meeting commenced with the Pledge of Allegiance and a prayer. The minutes for the October 28th meeting were approved. A significant portion of the session was dedicated to honoring Will Mlanahan for achieving the rank of Eagle Scout, including the reading of a proclamation detailing his community service project involving the design and construction of eight pitcher mounds. The meeting then proceeded to the audit presentation covering fiscal year ending June 30, 2024. Key audit findings included an unmodified opinion, no material weaknesses in internal controls, and strong cash reserves equivalent to approximately 11 months of cash on hand. Total assets increased by $763,000, though cash equivalents decreased by $287,000. Total revenues were $3.89 million against $3.13 million in expenditures, resulting in a $764,000 increase in fund balance. Revenue sources showed an increase in taxes due to valuation, while intergovernmental revenue decreased due to the non-recognition of ARPA funds. Major expenditure categories included Police ($889,000) and Public Works ($813,000). The police expenditure increase of 21% was attributed to new equipment purchases (cameras, tasers) and changes related to pension contributions following a police contract renegotiation. The Fire Authority expenditures saw a 62% decrease due to the prior year's $1 million expenditure for the firehouse. The Fire Chief later reported 52 fire calls and 102 ambulance calls for October.
