Carrolton council adopts emergency temporary appropriations and amends 2025 budget; cleaning contract tabled

At its Dec. 22 session, the Carrolton Village Council approved two resolutions as emergency measures to ensure continuity of funding into the new year and to amend the 2025 appropriations.

Mayor William J. Stoneman read Resolution R#2025-37, which sets temporary appropriations for the Village of Carrolton for January 2026; Council approved the emergency reading and the resolution by a 4-0 roll call vote. Council also read and approved Resolution R#2025-40, amending the original 2025 appropriations, again voting 4-0.

The council gave a first reading by title to Ordinance O#2025-38, authorizing the Village to sell personal property by internet auction pursuant to ORC Section 721.15(D); no final action was taken on that ordinance. Council discussed Ordinance O#2025-39, a proposed contract with Brittany Melville for cleaning services, and voted to re-advertise the contract for bids; the ordinance was tabled and the motion to table passed 4-0.

Council approved payment of bills and separately approved payment of bills without prior certification; both motions carried by unanimous roll call votes. The transcript does not include line-item budget figures, appropriation totals, or the stated emergency rationale beyond the label “emergency.”
