MORAINE, Ohio — The Moraine City Council on July 10 approved two separate resolutions: one to participate in a regional natural gas aggregation program and another to revise cemetery fees for Ellerton Cemetery.

Resolution 8165‑25 approves the plan of operation and governance for a Miami Valley Communications Council natural gas aggregation program, after two public hearings met notice requirements, the meeting record shows. The resolution authorizes the city to join the program to jointly establish and implement a natural gas purchasing program; the council approved the measure by roll call.

Resolution 8166‑25 repeals prior Resolution 7880‑22 and adopts a revised fee schedule for Ellerton Cemetery. City staff told council the change is needed because of rising burial fees, new cemetery management software and planned cemetery improvements. The resolution was approved by roll call with no recorded dissent.

Both resolutions were presented with staff summaries in the meeting packet. Council did not record further debate on either measure beyond the motion, roll call and brief staff explanation.
