Amberley meeting summaries, agendas, and minutes

Amberley agendas list income tax credit change, fire truck purchase and manager search; no outcomes yet published

Amberley Village Council's Oct. 12 agenda lists Ordinance 2026-10, which would reduce the income tax credit for taxes paid to another municipality, and Resolution 2026-18, authorizing a contract for the purchase of a fire truck. Both items were listed for consideration. No minutes have been published for any of the six meetings summarized here, so the records supplied do not show whether either item was voted on, amended or approved, and the agenda text contains no dollar amounts.

What the records do not show

All six summaries are agenda-only; minutes have not yet been published. Nothing here establishes that any ordinance or resolution passed, failed, was tabled or was amended, and no vote tallies appear in the supplied records. Absence of an outcome in these documents is not evidence that no action was taken.

Coming up

The supplied data lists no upcoming meetings in the next 14 days. Residents who want to confirm the next session, or read minutes once published, should check the village's official meeting postings and records directly.

Amberley agendas take up income tax credit change, fire truck purchase, 2027 tax rates and manager search

Amberley's Village Council and several committees met, or were scheduled to meet, between Sept. 29 and Oct. 12, 2026.

As of Oct. 13, minutes for these meetings had not been published, so no votes, dollar amounts or final outcomes are available.

Amberley Village Council to weigh property lien, appropriations, and cybersecurity policy

Amberley Village Council has a packed agenda for its July 13 meeting, including a resolution asking the Hamilton County Auditor to place a lien on a residential property, amendments to appropriations, and adoption of a cybersecurity policy. Minutes from the meeting have not yet been published, so outcomes are not yet confirmed.

Village Council — July 13

The Council agenda lists five items:

• **Ordinance 2026-7**: Amending appropriations.
• **Resolution 2026-11**: Adopting a cybersecurity policy for Amberley Village.
• **Ordinance 2026-8**: Amending compensation for the Village Magistrate.
• **Resolution 2026-12**: Requesting a lien on residential property.
• **JEDZ Board appointments.**

The agenda also references a search committee for a new village manager. Because minutes are not yet available, it is not known which items were approved, tabled, or amended.

Finance Committee — July 9

The Finance Committee was scheduled to approve its June 4, 2026 minutes and review three items:

• May financial reports.
• Appropriations.
• A cybersecurity policy.

No minutes have been published, so no actions are confirmed.

Planning Commission / Board of Zoning Appeals — July 6

The Planning Commission and Board of Zoning Appeals were set to consider two variance requests and a plan review:

• **Case 2026-135**: Variance for a 48' x 13'8" x 12'6" sports court at 6835 Glen Acres Drive.
• **Case 2026-136**: Variance for retaining walls higher than 54" at the Village North Site.
• Review of modified plans for the Village North Site business development.

Minutes have not been published, so the outcomes of these variance requests are not yet known.

What this means for residents

The Council's appropriations ordinance and magistrate compensation amendment could affect village spending. The cybersecurity policy, if adopted, would establish new rules for protecting village data and systems. The lien resolution involves a specific residential property, though the agenda does not name the property or the amount. The Planning Commission's variance decisions, once confirmed, would determine whether the sports court and retaining walls at the Village North Site can proceed as proposed.

Coming up

No upcoming meetings are listed for the next 14 days. Residents should watch the village's official channels for published minutes from the July 6, 9, and 13 meetings, and for any newly scheduled meetings.
