Zanesville Council Set to Consider Five-Year Banking Agreement, Software Switch, and Zoning Map Revision
Zanesville City Council had a full agenda on June 22, 2026, with committees scheduled to weigh in on a new five-year banking services agreement, a change in permitting software vendors, and a revision of the city's zoning map. Because meeting minutes have not yet been published, the items below reflect what was listed on the agendas — not confirmed outcomes.
Banking Services and Public Depositories
The Ways and Means Committee was set to discuss and vote on two ordinances related to the city's banking arrangements:
- **Ordinance 2026-60**: Would authorize an agreement with Park National Bank for banking and cash management services for a five-year period running 2026 through 2031. The ordinance was declared an emergency.
- **Ordinance 2026-62**: Would designate certain banking institutions as public depositories for the city for the same five-year period, 2026–2031. This ordinance was also declared an emergency.
Both items were listed for committee discussion and a vote. The agenda also included approval of previous minutes. The meeting was open to the public.
Riverside Park Pickleball Courts Invoices
Also on the June 22 agenda was the payment of prior-year invoices for the Riverside Park Pickleball Courts. No dollar amount was specified in the agenda materials provided.
Permitting Software Transition
The Community Development Committee was scheduled to hold first readings on two ordinances that would shift the city's permitting and licensing software from one vendor to another:
- **Ordinance 2026-64**: Would terminate contracts with Tyler Technologies for permitting software.
- **Ordinance 2026-65**: Would authorize a new contract with Vertosoft for permitting and licensing software.
No contract values were listed in the available agenda materials.
Zoning Map Amendment
A third ordinance before the Community Development Committee addressed land use across the city:
- **Ordinance 2026-66**: Would amend and revise the city zoning map for permanent zoning in Zanesville.
No specific properties, districts, or streets were identified in the agenda summary. The committee agenda listed no separate discussion items beyond the three first readings.
What This Means for Residents
The banking ordinances, if passed, would govern how the city manages its cash and which institutions hold public deposits through May 2031. The software change would affect how residents and businesses apply for permits and licenses. The zoning map revision could change what can be built where in Zanesville, though the scope of proposed changes was not detailed in the available agenda materials.
Because minutes from the June 22 meetings have not yet been published, it is not yet confirmed which ordinances were approved, tabled, or amended. Readers should check the official City Council records for final outcomes and vote tallies.
Coming Up
No upcoming meetings were listed for the next 14 days (July 6–20, 2026) in the materials provided. Residents are encouraged to check the City of Zanesville's official website for any newly scheduled or special meetings.
