Council unanimously adopts two emergency resolutions for street work and Auburn Grove bond release; routine invoices accepted

The South Lebanon City Council voted unanimously on May 7 to adopt two emergency resolutions and to accept routine financial matters.

Emergency resolution 2026‑11 authorizes the mayor and fiscal officer to enter an agreement with Choice 1 Engineering for consulting services needed for the 2026 Street Improvement Program. A motion to waive the two‑reading rule was made, seconded and approved before the council adopted the resolution by title.

Council then considered emergency resolution 2026‑12, authorizing the mayor and fiscal officer to release the subdivision bond issued to My Homes for roadway construction in the Auburn Grove subdivision. The council voted to waive the two‑reading rule and adopted the resolution by title with all present members voting in favor.

Following the resolutions, the council voted to accept the city invoices and separately accepted the law director's invoices. Councilors also approved the March financial statements after a motion, second and roll‑call vote.

All procedural votes reported in the record were carried by unanimous "Yay" votes from the members present, with the roll call recording Allen, Carmack, Holmes, Feder, Harrison and Smith in favor. The meeting record contains no recorded dissent on these items. The council did not take public comment on these agenda items at the time of the votes.

Mayor Burke led several administrative announcements after the votes, including a bridge preservation closure scheduled for May 13, a Memorial Day parade on May 25 and the reuse of an easel donated by the Warren County Career Center.
