Top issues during term (20)
2027 City Budget Appropriations
Sets city spending for all services in fiscal year 2027.
Institutional Rezoning of City-Owned Roachton Road Parcels
Neighbors worry commercial zoning could hurt their property values; the applicant says the facility would generate less traffic than a duplex build-out.
Municipal buildings project locked in under budget
The project is running approximately $2 million under budget.
E. River Road Rezone to Institutional
Tied to the city's new municipal services facility; no direct tax impact cited.
Roachton Road Rezone to Community Shopping
Rezoning to commercial could expand the city's tax base versus residential use.
Sanitary Sewer Credits
The resident paid about $1,968 out of pocket; no reimbursement was offered.
Relocation of municipal services to former Mercy Health site
No dollar figure given, but the parcels were acquired in 2024/2025 specifically for relocating city operations.
Rotary Community Park grant pursuit
$850,000 total project, pieced together from Rotary funds, state grant, city budget and pending Meta grant.
Appointment of Director of Public Service
The director's salary and the pace of city service work could be affected, but no cost figures were published.
Electric bike regulation on multi-use paths
No direct cost; registration is free, with signage costs absorbed in city operations.
Short-term rental regulation and hotel tax
Generates new hotel-tax revenue from short-term rentals at 6% of lodging transactions; no direct cost to the city.
I-75 Corridor Amendment to Perrysburg Tomorrow Land Use Plan
Employment-focused development would broaden the city's income tax base while demanding fewer services than housing, according to staff.
Research & Development code amendment
Could help attract R&D employers; no specific investment figures were cited.
Water and Sewer Rate Increases
Could change what residents pay for water and sewer service.
2026 Zoning Code Update
No direct city cost — these are property-owner improvement requests.
Senior Utility Discount Program
Cost depends on income thresholds and how broadly eligibility is drawn — not yet estimated.
SR 25 and Eckel Junction intersection improvement
Adds $6,900 to the existing Mannik & Smith contract.
New water and sewer rates
New water and sewer rates take effect for all city utility customers.
Refuse and recycling funding direction
A modest rate increase is likely; levy scenarios will be presented in November.
Front Street speed limit fix
No direct cost mentioned — it's mostly a paperwork fix wrapped into the ongoing corridor study.
