Kettering City Council Meeting of April 28, 2026

The City of Kettering held a regular City Council meeting on April 28, 2026, which included several procurement and contracting discussions primarily related to capital improvement projects and city facility maintenance. The council approved multiple resolutions authorizing the city manager to enter into agreements with the Ohio Department of Transportation for road resurfacing and pedestrian improvement projects, with federal funding allocations noted, including nearly $3 million for Dorothy Lane resurfacing and nearly $1 million for West Stroop Road. Additionally, the council approved a competitive bargaining process for painting services at city facilities with a budget of $40,000 and authorized a contract for a $38,188 replacement of the building access control system at the Government Center. A supplemental appropriation of over $1.2 million was approved to fund a storm sewer replacement project and property acquisitions for economic development purposes, including a $1 million allocation for property procurement. The council also passed ordinances to levy special assessments for curb, sidewalk, and driveway repairs as part of the 2025 Capital Improvement Program. Furthermore, the council approved moratoriums on zoning applications for vehicle fueling/recharging establishments and indoor recreation uses to allow time for regulatory review and alignment with the comprehensive plan. A first reading ordinance was introduced to raise the formal bidding threshold from $25,000 to $75,000 to improve procurement efficiency. These actions reflect ongoing infrastructure improvements, facility maintenance, and strategic economic development efforts by the city.
