Fostoria council authorizes application for state airport improvement grant; notes second reading of Discover settlement ordinance

The Fostoria City Council voted to authorize the director of public service and safety to apply to the Ohio Department of Transportation Office of Aviation for an Ohio Airport Improvement Program grant for state fiscal year 2026.

Councilmember Greg Cassidy moved to adopt the resolution and Amy Mendoza seconded. After a roll-call vote the motion carried and the clerk recorded the measure as Resolution 2026-01-01. The resolution authorizes the city to pursue an application to the ODOT Office of Aviation; the transcript records the motion and the clerk’s notation that it becomes Resolution 2026-01-01. No grant amount or further project detail was provided in the meeting record.

The council also heard the second reading of an ordinance authorizing the City of Fostoria to participate in a Discover merchant class action settlement. The ordinance was placed for its second reading during old business; no final vote or adoption occurred during this meeting.

Next steps: the director of public service and safety is the designated official to take further action on the ODOT grant application, and the clerk will report back on application status at a later date.
