Mr. Stephens explained that this ordinance is the fourth and final legislative step of last year’s 2020 Sidewalk, Curb, and Driveway Apron Project. It itemizes sidewalk repair costs that have not already been paid directly by affected homeowners and authorizes these costs to be assessed by the Montgomery County Auditor.

Thereupon, it was moved by Mr. Stephens and seconded by Vice Mayor Byington that the second reading be waived and that the ordinance be passed tonight.

Mayor Duncan noted that four yes votes are required in order to waive the second reading of the ordinance.

Upon call of the roll on the question of the motion, the following vote was recorded:

There being five (5) yea votes and no (0) nay votes thereon, said ordinance was declared duly passed and it was so ordered.

Mr. Stephens explained that this is an ordinance to widen the public right-of-way by approximately 15’ in the 100 blocks of Aberdeen and Telford Avenues. Along Aberdeen, this will provide room to create angled parking spaces as part of the Wright Library’s current renovation project. On the Telford side, no new spaces are being created; the adjustment is being made to reflect existing improvements that were installed decades ago.

Thereupon, it was moved by Mr. Stephens and seconded by Vice Mayor Byington that the second reading be waived and that the ordinance be passed tonight.

STAFF REPORT

Public Safety Department Presentation: Chief Alan Hill, Public Safety Director, referenced a PowerPoint presentation and updated Council on the following topics: In-car and Body Camera Implementation; Emergency Operations Table Top Exercise; Good Choice Ticket Program; Security Camera Registration; Mental Health Training; and the Citizen Police Academy.

On June 14, the Oakwood Public Safety Department fully implemented in-car camera systems with fully integrated body cameras. Each Public Safety Officer is assigned their own body camera, and each marked patrol vehicle is equipped with a forward and rear facing camera system. This will be a valuable asset to the City.
