City Council to Consider Over $430,000 in Supplemental Appropriations
The city is seeking approval for supplemental appropriations totaling $433,975.53. This includes a $320,000 advance from the general fund to the capital improvement fund to cover the difference in note proceeds for city hall renovations until November when bond proceeds will reimburse the general fund. Additionally, $13,042.53 is a transfer from the law enforcement assistance fund for police continuing professional training using grant proceeds. A $24,933 FEMA grant reimbursement for overtime spent during a Kentucky flood deployment will be transferred to the fire fund. Finally, a $66,000 increase to the fire insurance fund is for reimbursement of a deposit for fire damage to a house, which will be repaid once repairs are made. These items require approval on Monday due to only one council meeting per month.
Huber Heights to Host Hometown Heroes Military Appreciation Night as Title Sponsor
The city is proposing to host the Big Hoopla's Hometown Heroes Military Appreciation Night on October 1st, serving as a title sponsor for $25,000, split with Montgomery County. This event aims to support Wright-Patterson Air Force Base and the military community, providing over 155 tickets for military personnel to attend the concert. The city has a history of supporting Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, which contributes significantly to the regional economy. This event is seen as a continuation of past support and a valuable community engagement opportunity, with the potential to be hosted in Huber Heights annually.
City Moves Forward with 2026 and 2027 Sidewalk Programs
The city is considering legislation for the 2026 sidewalk program, which will allow staff to send invoices to property owners who had concrete work done by the city's contractor. Property owners have until August 3rd to pay. Actual repair costs were less than the estimated costs sent out last year. Unpaid assessments will be presented to council in a final ordinance and sent to the county auditor to be placed on property taxes and spread over five years. This is an emergency ordinance requiring a waiver of the second reading on Monday. The city is also proposing the 2027 sidewalk program, a resolution of necessity, which includes a street map of the area west of Brant Pike between Taylorsville and I-70. Letters will be sent to affected citizens, giving them until the end of the year to complete concrete work themselves or hire a contractor; otherwise, their properties will be included in the spring program. This legislation also requires passage next week to allow timely letter distribution.
