October 5, 2026 - City Council Meeting

The October 5, 2026, Wooster City Council meeting included several infrastructure and funding actions. Council approved a cooperative annexation agreement for a roughly 74-acre area that provides for about 2,000 feet of waterline to serve a development; the estimated $375,000 cost will be paid by Wooster Township, not the city. Council also authorized an application for WGO transit funding through ODOT and the Federal Transit Administration. The application is due November 13 and anticipates approximately $150,000 in CDBG funding, $55,000 in fares, and a city contribution of roughly $300,000–$400,000. Two tax-increment financing ordinances for development areas were also approved. No vendor contract award was made at the meeting.
