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.

A copy of the resolution, having been placed on the desks of each member of Council prior to introduction, was read by title.

Vice Mayor Byington explained that each tax year, the Montgomery County Budget Commission is required to certify its determination of the millage rates and amounts the city will receive from its existing property tax levies. For 2017-2018, the Budget Commission has determined that Oakwood will receive $1,143,937 from inside-millage and $1,516,595 from its outside-millage tax levies, which is consistent with the city's projections. This is the annual resolution to accept the county's determination.

Thereupon, it was moved by Vice Mayor Byington and seconded by Mr. Stephens that the resolution be passed.

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 resolution was declared duly passed and it was so ordered.

A copy of the ordinance, having been placed on the desks of each member of Council prior to introduction, was read by title.

Mr. Stephens explained that under Sections 305.03 and .04 of the Traffic Code, the City Manager has authority to adopt traffic regulations throughout the city. This authority encompasses a wide range of traffic decisions, including the placement of stop signs, time-limited parking zones, road closures, and other things.

The city's historical practice of adopting these regulations generally involves publishing them in a book of Traffic Regulations and posting signs as appropriate. However, Oakwood has only published those regulations that are intended to be permanent. Temporary regulations, such as the closure of a street for a block party, or prohibiting left turns in the area of an ongoing construction project, are appropriately signed but are not recorded in the Traffic Regulations book.

While this has been the city's practice, it is not expressly stated as such in Section 305.04. The city has not experienced any legal difficulties due to the current wording, but the City Attorney has recommended that Council adjust the language to clarify that temporary regulations need not be recorded in the Traffic Regulations book.

This is a first reading of the ordinance, so Mr. Stephens made no motion.
