The Village of Lakemore council voted to adopt Resolution 7562-2026, approving an agreement with Lexipol to update the police department’s policies and procedures manual. The contract specifies a one-time setup cost of $19,647 and an annual subscription cost of $10,844.10.
The adoption motion was made by Mr. O'Jack and — after dispensing with the three readings — passed on a recorded roll call in which all recorded members voted yes. The resolution text included customary open‑meeting findings and cited Section 121.22 of the Ohio Revised Code; it also classified the measure as an emergency so it would take effect immediately.
Council also completed a set of routine financial approvals on the consent portion of the agenda. Members approved minutes from the March 16, 2026 meeting, accepted purchase orders covering March 14–April 1, 2026 totaling $1,765, and accepted bills totaling $188,445.98. The January 2026 bank reconciliation and the March 2026 DRPS delinquency report were accepted as presented.
On budget items, the council read Ordinance 1926-2026 to amend FY2026 appropriations and revenues. The ordinance lists a $1,500 general‑fund appropriation from an opioid settlement, a $9,425.54 appropriation to BGA grant fund 2054 (with matching revenue), a $2,200 COPS FAST fund 2121 allocation tied to a LEMHWA grant, and smaller Parks & Rec donation entries tied to NOPEC funding. The council moved to dispense with three readings for that ordinance and recorded unanimous roll‑call votes on the motion to dispense; the transcript records the dispense vote but does not include a separate verbatim final-adoption phrase in the provided excerpt.
The council also read Ordinance 1927-2026 and Ordinance 1928-2026, which authorize sanitary‑sewer easements with Akron Center Associates LLC and with the Board of Education of the Springfield Local School District, respectively, as part of phase two of the sanitary sewer project. The reading records authorize the village administrator to execute and record the easements when signatures and exhibits are in order; the transcript shows the ordinances were read but does not include an explicit adoption vote for those two ordinances in the provided excerpt.
What happens next: the Lexipol agreement is recorded as adopted and, per the resolution text, is declared to take effect immediately. For other items (the budget ordinance and the sewer easements), the transcript shows readings and votes to dispense with readings for some items; the record provided here does not contain any additional implementing steps beyond those motions.
