Lima City Council adopted two resolutions and passed more than two dozen ordinances on their first reading during the meeting, with roll-call votes recorded as 7-0 for each item.

The council approved Resolution 125 honoring Michael Poussin and Joe Correll for their work with the Ohio Theatre and Resolution 225 supporting the Ohio Municipal League’s challenge to AT&T tariff issues at the Public Utilities Commission of Ohio. Councilors then advanced multiple ordinances on their first reading, including the city’s fiscal-year 2025 budget (Ordinance 1625) and a range of administrative and contract items covering annexation petitions, sidewalk projects, utilities contracts, collective-bargaining agreements, and event participation funds.

Several ordinances of note included: Ordinance 2125, accepting an annexation petition from Health Partners of Western Ohio covering approximately 90.825 acres in American Township; Ordinance 2425, authorizing sale of alcoholic beverages at the Veterans Memorial Civic and Convention Center for events at the Greater Lima Region Park and Amphitheater; Ordinance 3125, authorizing an emergency repair contract for a 66-inch sanitary sewer with Alterra Inc.; and Ordinance 3625, authorizing a contract with Civic Uplift LLC to prepare the five-year HUD consolidated plan and the 2025 annual action plan.
