The Cedarville City Council handled several formal actions during its 2004 meetings, including ordinance adoptions and budget revisions.
In January the council adopted a Flood Plain ordinance (motion and successive suspensions of readings recorded) and an ordinance to collect a franchise tax on new tiered charges for Cox Cable; both ordinances passed by recorded motions (minutes show unanimous votes of 4-0 at the January meeting). Council records also show a subsequent administrative assignment: Council Member Connelly was named flood-plain program coordinator and required to complete an eight-hour accreditation course before July 1.
The council amended the budget in April to reflect an $80,000 allocation for City Hall construction and $4,800 annually for a senior-citizen subsidy; Council Member Connelly abstained from one motion to proceed with the bid selection and the measure passed with the recorded votes. In May the council also voted to accept a $2,500 bid from David Hightower to repair a city street and to reappoint Neal Morrison to the Planning Commission.
Later in the year the council approved a 20 mph speed limit on Salem Road, agreed to move city meetings from City Hall to the Fire Department while the new City Hall is completed, and recorded support for a resolution related to Constitutional Amendment #2. The minutes show the council adopted the 2005 budget at the Dec. 6 meeting.
