City Council for 10/5/2026

At the October 5, 2026, Troy City Council meeting, council unanimously adopted Resolution R-60-2026 as emergency legislation, authorizing the Director of Public Service and Safety to submit an application to the Ohio Office of Criminal Justice Services for the 2027 Body Worn Camera Grant Program and execute related documents. The committee reported that the police department’s current body-camera contract expires in 2027 and a new multiyear contract is expected to cost approximately $150,000 annually; no vendor selection or contract award was made. The approved resolution authorizes the grant application, which had an October 7 deadline.

Council held a public hearing on Ordinance O-39-2026, the proposed Unified Development Code. Speakers urged the city to prohibit data centers or add limits and environmental protections; the ordinance was referred to the Community and Economic Development Committee for further discussion, with no adoption vote taken. The council also heard a police chief’s presentation on the city’s 13 Flock license-plate cameras, covering use, data retention, access and planned audit improvements, alongside public concerns about privacy, oversight and costs; no procurement decision was made on that system. The meeting’s minutes referenced prior authorization to increase the Streetscape Project to $13 million, but that was not a new action at this meeting.
