Centerville Council to Weigh $4 Million Infrastructure Bond; Boards Review Exterior Improvements and Awards
Centerville's City Council has several consequential items on its plate this month, including a proposed $4,000,000 bond anticipation note for the Cornerstone South Project and multiple property easement purchases along Centerville Station Road. Because minutes have not yet been published for any of the recent meetings, the items below reflect what was on each agenda — not confirmed outcomes.
City Council: Bonds, Easements, and a Thoroughfare Update
Council met twice on July 13, 2026. One session was a work session that included an update on the Connect Centerville thoroughfare and connectivity plan from TSW, a review of City Council and City Manager communications, and a preview of upcoming Council meeting agendas. That session also included an executive session covering personnel, litigation, and real estate matters.
A second Council agenda the same day listed several action items:
- Issuance of up to $4,000,000 in Public Infrastructure Improvements Bond Anticipation Notes for the Cornerstone South Project.
- Appointment of Alexis Gomez to the Arts Commission for a 3-year term.
- Purchase of real property easements on Centerville Station Road from various owners.
- An amended service agreement with TEC Engineering Inc. for Clyo Road and Dimco Way intersection improvements.
- A TRAC application to ODOT for Wilmington Pike/I-675 interchange improvements.
All Council items are listed as agenda only; minutes have not yet been published, so no vote tallies or final decisions are available.
Board of Architectural Review: 145 West Franklin Street
On July 7, 2026, the Board of Architectural Review was scheduled to consider Application P-2026-0022, an APD Exterior Improvement at 145 West Franklin Street. The applicant is Frank Weikel of Orange Eagle Marketing. The agenda also included approval of prior meeting minutes and procedural items. Minutes are not yet published.
City Beautiful Commission: Awards and Urban Forestry
Also on July 7, 2026, the City Beautiful Commission was set to discuss an urban forestry update presented by Jotham Smith, old business on Landscape Awards and the Keep Centerville Beautiful Cleanup, and new business including a Mayor's Award nomination. A vote on Community Pride nominations was scheduled. The agenda is largely procedural and focused on awards. Minutes are not yet published.
What This Means for Residents
The proposed $4,000,000 bond anticipation note for the Cornerstone South Project is the largest dollar figure on any recent agenda and, if approved, would fund public infrastructure improvements tied to that development. The Centerville Station Road easement purchases and the TEC Engineering service agreement for the Clyo Road and Dimco Way intersection both involve changes to local roadways. The TRAC application to ODOT seeks state support for improvements at the Wilmington Pike/I-675 interchange, a corridor used by many commuters. Residents should note that because minutes are not yet available, none of these items can be confirmed as adopted.
Coming Up
- **City Council Special Meeting — July 21, 2026, 5:30 p.m.** The agenda includes an executive session on personnel matters. No formal action is anticipated, and the meeting is expected to conclude with adjournment.

Minutes from three recent board and commission meetings have not yet been published, so outcomes from those sessions — including votes and any decisions — are not yet part of the public record.

The Centerville Planning Commission was scheduled to hold a public hearing on variance application P-2026-0021, filed by Reza & Bahar Masoudi for property at 4 West Franklin Street. The agenda also included appointment of a vice chairperson for a one-year term and approval of the May 19, 2026 regular meeting minutes. Because minutes from the June 30 meeting have not been published, the results of the variance hearing and the vice chairperson appointment are not yet available.
Board of Architectural Review — July 7
The Board of Architectural Review was set to consider application P-2026-0022, an APD Exterior Improvement proposal at 145 West Franklin Street.

Meeting minutes have not yet been published, so the board's decision on the application is not confirmed.
City Beautiful Commission — July 7
The City Beautiful Commission agenda included an urban forestry update by Jotham Smith, discussion of Landscape Awards, an update on the Keep Centerville Beautiful Cleanup, a Mayor's Award nomination, and a scheduled vote on Community Pride nominations.
