City Council - Nov 09 2026

Hilliard City Council meeting (meeting title: Nov. 9, 2026; metadata date: Nov. 10, 2026). Council approved the 2027 capital improvement budget (Ordinance 26-27) by a 7–0 vote; the transcript gives no total appropriation. It also approved Resolution 26-R-112 authorizing a purchase agreement with MTech Company for a portable sewer inspection system for the Public Service Department, at a cost not to exceed $130,000 from the current year’s capital budget. Staff said crews evaluated multiple systems and selected the one they found most suitable; the equipment will replace an unreliable existing unit. The consent agenda, including a right-of-way improvement item on Dublin Road, was approved. Council also approved an ordinance authorizing the issuance of notes to retire previously issued notes; no amount was stated in the transcript.

Residents raised traffic and pedestrian-safety concerns about the proposed Yutzy Property Development, particularly the plan for 69 homes without a direct vehicle connection to Hayden Run Road. The developer, identified as Onx, said construction traffic for infrastructure and homebuilding would use a temporary Hayden Run access, and that the traffic study had been reviewed by city engineering staff; the second reading and public hearing are scheduled for Dec. 14, 2026, so no final action on that proposal occurred at this meeting. Separately, a committee narrowed presentations for a proposed sculpture to four finalists, with a selection expected to return to Council in the coming months.
