The Galion finance committee voted unanimously April 15 to forward three items to the full City Council for final consideration.

Committee members moved to advance Ordinance 2025-22 (an amendment/appropriation measure) to the council after brief explanation of several line-item adjustments. The committee then approved Resolution 2025-285 to correct a purchase-order budgeting issue tied to an airport runway lighting project, and voted to send Ordinance 2025-24 — the city's annual authorization to purchase road salt under ODOT's contract — to full council.

Committee discussion on Ordinance 2025-22 included staff explanations that some line items cover real-estate tax settlement fees and adjustments to CDBG-era expenditures; no member requested amendments. On Resolution 2025-285, staff said the runway lighting project converted to 100% Federal Aviation Administration funding and that a $10,000 shortfall in the FAA budget line required a local budget adjustment so the engineer could be paid once federal funds arrive. On the ODOT salt contract, staff and members discussed recent salt prices (committee members recalled prices in prior years around $82 per ton and the current bid nearer $65 per ton) and noted the city still expects to have roughly 100 tons remaining from the prior contract that should be moved into the city salt bin to avoid storage charges.

Each motion was seconded and passed by voice vote with the committee chair saying, "All in favor? Aye. Motion carried." The items will appear on the next full council agenda.
