Kettering City Council Meeting of November 10, 2026

The Kettering City Council’s regular meeting on November 10, 2026, included approval of a resolution authorizing the City Manager to apply for and, if awarded, accept and expend up to $250,000 from the State Homeland Security Program for a mobile command center vehicle for the Police Department’s Tactical Crime Suppression Unit. The City expects to fund the project initially and seek reimbursement from the grant; a supplemental appropriation would be brought forward if the award is made. The Police Department intends to transfer ownership of the vehicle to the Miami Valley Technology and Communications Group, which would hold title, insure and maintain the equipment. The resolution passed on a unanimous roll-call vote. No vendor selection or vehicle bid award was discussed.

Council also approved supplemental appropriations for 2026 expenses: $26,000 for Clerk of Court operating costs, including increased USPS rates and higher case filings; $124,000 in the special grants and programs fund to account for state reimbursements for required peace-officer training and offset related personnel costs; and $7,500 for EMS billing service fees, split between the EMS fund ($3,500) and debt service fund ($4,000). These appropriations passed by roll-call vote. Other business included expanding temporary no-parking restrictions near State Farm Park and receiving notice of a future public hearing on a rezoning request; no other procurement actions were identified.
