Council adopts ordinance authorizing 2025 agreement with Gahanna Community Improvement Corporation

The Gahanna City Council adopted Ordinance 0095-2024, authorizing the mayor to enter into an agreement with the Gahanna Community Improvement Corporation for the 2025 calendar year and declaring the ordinance an emergency.

Clerk Mr. Van Meter read the ordinance title into the record before the council moved to a roll-call vote. The ordinance's stated purpose is to authorize the mayor to enter the 2025 agreement with the Gahanna CIC "to promote and encourage economic activity for the city." The ordinance was adopted with an emergency declaration on a unanimous roll call.

The vote record in the transcript shows affirmative votes from the council members present. No amendments, conditions or recorded dissent were offered during the roll-call discussion recorded on the agenda.

The ordinance is effective immediately under the emergency declaration; the clerk's office will retain the executed agreement once signed by the mayor and the CIC. The council then proceeded to the next items on the agenda, including routine correspondence and notifications.
