The Bellbrook City Council convened on July 28, 2025, for its regular meeting, addressing several community-focused topics and upcoming events. The meeting began with Councilman Greenwood expressing gratitude to Rebecca for her contributions, followed by an update from Councilman Hardy regarding a new bus stop for students in downtown Bellbrook. This initiative, approved by the school board, aims to assist 17 families by providing transportation to Bellbrook High School, Bellbrook Middle School, and Mill Creek Intermediate School. Hardy emphasized the importance of safety for children who previously had to walk in various weather conditions.

Councilman Hardy also announced the upcoming 200th anniversary celebration of the Bellbrook Museum, scheduled for Saturday. The event will feature live music, a vintage car show, food trucks, crafts, and historical presentations, promising a fun-filled day for families.

Additionally, Hardy proposed the consideration of a "Safe Seniors" program, similar to one in Kettering, which provides lock boxes for seniors and individuals with disabilities to ensure emergency services can access their homes when needed. This suggestion was noted as a potential topic for future safety committee discussions.

Councilman Tiffany highlighted the upcoming Bellbrook Lions Fest and shared his involvement in organizing adult card games for the event. He also reflected on the recent Golden Eagle Gridiron Greats Induction Ceremony, celebrating the achievements of notable figures in the Bellbrook football program.

Deputy Mayor Havens commended the recent equipment purchases aimed at improving road conditions, which could save the city money in the long run. He acknowledged the importance of community engagement, thanking residents for their attendance at the meeting.

The meeting concluded with a motion to enter executive session to discuss personnel matters, marking the end of the public session. The next council meeting is scheduled for August 11, 2025.
