attending the various masses. He asked City Council to continue to be vigilant and assure residents that the city of Kettering honors the contract they committed to in 1963. Also, where possible, to support the city of Kettering with grant funding if a new bridge is required.

Tommy Routsong, 494 Lookout Ridge/6 Oakwood Avenue, shared that he is in favor of the city of Oakwood’s support to the city of Kettering, and with the restructure of the Ridgeway Bridge. Mr. Routsong asked that the 1963 city of Kettering Ordinance be placed in the record. This discusses the agreement between the city of Kettering and the city of Oakwood regarding the maintenance and access across Ridgeway Bridge. He shared that there are a lot of funerals at St. Albert the Great. For safety purposes, he has been directed that they are not allowed to turn left out of the church through the intersection, so their alternate path takes them across the Ridgeway Bridge. He asked for City Council’s support with the Ridgeway Bridge. He ended his comments by thanking Jay Weiskircher for his dedication to the city and for his years of service. He wished him all the best in his retirement.

Mayor Duncan thanked the city of Kettering for surveying all of the residents, including Oakwood residents. The survey results were presented to Council, and the video of the Ridgeway Road Bridge presentation made at the November Kettering City Council meeting was also sent to Oakwood City Council. Oakwood supports the efforts even though the Ridgeway Bridge is located in the city of Kettering.

Members of Girl Scout Troop 30149 addressed Council. The girls initially addressed City Council in March 2017 to propose placing a Veterans memorial at Orchardly Park using their cookie money and other donations. Since March, the Girl Scout Troop has been collecting money and has raised $1,500. They need an additional $1,500 to meet their goal for the memorial and asked for further support. The memorial plaque will be placed in a rock located near the shelter at Orchardly Park with an inscription of, “Thank you to all Veterans who served our Country”. Mayor Duncan shared that it is a great project. He asked that the Girl Scout Troop send information to city staff on where donations can be sent.

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 this is the second reading of Oakwood’s annual house-keeping ordinance to align local traffic and criminal ordinances with changes that have been made at the state level. This ordinance will adopt the 2017 replacement pages for the Traffic Code and the General Offenses Code.

Thereupon, it was moved by Mr. Stephens and seconded by Mrs. Hilton that the ordinance 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 ordinance was declared duly passed and it was so ordered.
