Here is the agenda for the City Council meeting tomorrow:
In the Work Session, we will be discussing:
- Criminal Activity Nuisance appeals and where they should be handled. I could have sworn that we put this one to bed last meeting in deciding not to make any changes, but someone must have wanted to discuss it further so it is still on here.
- Discussing the fine for trash cans and trash being left out on tree lawns too long.
- Looking at overhauling the ordinance on signage in the City. This first came up as we were looking to tighten up the ordinance in terms of window lights in Downtown. A review of Bedford’s sign ordinance for that discussion showed that parts of the current ordinance are dated, convoluted, ambiguous and difficult to interpret. We are looking to streamline it and update it. We will be looking at possibly modeling our signage ordinance after Aurora’s ordinance on signage.
In the Regular Session, we will be voting on:
- Banning window framing lights in Bedford Downtown.
- Updating the City’s credit card policy to make it compliant with recent State law changes.
- Better defining who can get compensation for overtime and how much they can accrue.
- A motion to re-appoint Laura Hulett to the Board of Zoning appeals. Would you like to join a Board for the City? The City is currently accepting resumes for all of the Boards. If interested, please send your resume to Lorree Villers at lvillers@bedfordoh.gov or mail it to 165 Center Rd., Bedford, OH 44146
- A motion to approve plans for a seafood restaurant to go in at 339 Columbus.
- A motion to deny permission for a group home at 172 John due to failure to turn in plans.
