TIPP CITY — The Tipp City Council on Feb. 20 approved routine business, presented an Officer of the Year proclamation, introduced several ordinances for first reading and set a slate of public hearings for March 18, 2024.
Mayor Rogers presented a proclamation recognizing Officer Seth Victor as Tipp City’s 2023 Officer of the Year, citing supervisors’ recommendations and “his attitude, dedication to the department and community, training and work ethic.” The proclamation text read that the council would “do hereby present this proclamation to Officer Seth Victor and congratulate him on being the recipient of the Tipp City Officer of the Year award.”
Council members moved quickly through the consent items. The council approved the agenda and minutes from its Feb. 5 work session and Feb. 5 meeting by roll call votes.
On legislation, the mayor said there were no ordinances on second reading. The council introduced Ordinance A (Ordinance No. 24), an annexation request to bring approximately 9.415 acres from Monroe Township into Tipp City; staff said the parcel was purchased by the city for a planned electrical substation and asked council to introduce the annexation for a public hearing at the next meeting. Planning staff recommended setting an interim zoning classification of CDE (Conservation District) for the annexed property during the annexation process, explaining that the interim zoning should match the county’s previous classification as closely as possible.
The council also introduced two code‑update ordinances: one to amend general offenses in the Tipp City Code to stay in sync with state law, and another to update multiple traffic‑code sections (listed during the meeting) to provide penalties, codification and severability. Staff said these amendments were recommended by the city’s codification firm to ensure local code aligns with state statutes.
Council approved a motion to set public hearings for March 18 on two rezoning matters: (1) rezoning requests for properties at 59 and 85 Kessler Coastal Road and (2) a rezoning tied to a proposed convenience‑store/fueling site described in the meeting as a “quick trip” facility at 4025 South County Road 25. Staff clarified the March 18 hearing date on the record.
The council voted to appoint a slate of members to the 2024 Charter Review Commission; staff read the names proposed for the commission and council approved the slate by roll call.
On community events, the council authorized the police chief and city manager to sign an F‑2 permit application for the Tipp City Partnership’s St. Patrick’s 5K to be held March 17, 2024; staff noted this is the third or fourth year the event has been held downtown.
Council members offered brief comments, including thanks to city responders for recent street work and congratulations to Officer Victor. One council member provided an update on a traffic‑signal upgrade expected to be installed soon at a local intersection.
The council adjourned at the close of the agenda.
