Troy council eyed $2.5M project increase, moratorium extension; minutes pending across recent meetings

Troy City Council's July 6 agenda included a resolution authorizing a $2,500,000 bid increase for the TAP Maintenance Project, the largest dollar item across recent city meetings. Minutes for that meeting and three others have not yet been published, so only agenda items — not final votes — can be confirmed from the available record.

City Council — July 6

The council was scheduled to hold a public hearing on the 2027 Tax Budget (R-37-2026) and consider two additional items:

• **Resolution R-38-2026**: Authorizing a $2,500,000 bid increase for the TAP Maintenance Project.
• **Ordinance O-29-2026**: Extending moratoriums on community-oriented residential social service facilities and automobile fuel dispensing/service stations for 90 days, through November 27, 2026.

The agenda also listed an oath of office for new Firefighter-EMT Joah Schricker and a presentation on National Night Out (August 4) by Thomas Kirkman. Minutes were not yet published as of this report.

Planning Commission — July 8

Commissioners were set to act on a minor amendment to the Troy Christian Schools Planned Development, allowing a 6-foot composite privacy fence (43 linear feet) on the patio outside Ernst Café, atop an existing 2-foot retaining wall.

The commission was also scheduled to decide whether to hold a public hearing on rezoning 28 W. Canal Street from B-3 Central Business District to R-5 Single-Family Residential District, and to make a recommendation to City Council. The property owner is listed as Heather Sturgill.

A continued review of the draft Unified Development Code was also on the agenda, covering principal buildings, gateway overlay, wireless facilities, wind energy, beekeeping, solar panels, nursery parking, cross access, fences, sign code, and non-conformities. Minutes were not yet published.

Council Committee of the Whole — July 13

The committee reviewed a proposal to improve the intersection of West Main Street (SR41) and Experiment Farm Road/South Stanfield Road, with two design alternatives under consideration:

• **Signalized intersection**: Estimated total project cost of $4,279,970.
• **Roundabout**: Estimated total project cost of $4,298,111.

The committee was tasked with providing a recommendation on which alternative to advance. Minutes were not yet published.

Recreation Board — July 15

The board's agenda consisted of procedural items: approval of previous minutes and general reports from Recreation, Hobart Arena, and Troy Aquatic Park. Minutes were not yet published.

Coming up

• **City Council — Monday, July 20**: Council will consider extending the moratorium on fuel stations and social service facilities by 90 days, approve July 6 minutes, hear a presentation on the Rumpke "Look Who Is Recycling" award recipient, and introduce Paul Oberdorfer to the Community Improvement Corporation.
• **Planning Commission — Wednesday, July 22**: Agenda includes the privacy fence amendment, a rezoning recommendation for 28 W. Canal Street (parcel DO8-1011550), continued Unified Development Code review, and a motion to adopt Ordinance No. 0-29-2026 extending the moratorium on fuel dispensing stations, service stations, and social service facilities through November 27, 2026.

Note: All recent meeting summaries are based on agendas only; official minutes have not been published. Outcomes listed as "approved" or "recommended" in upcoming agenda descriptions for the July 22 Planning Commission could not be independently confirmed as decided, since that meeting had not yet occurred as of July 20.

Troy Council Weighs $2.5M Aquatic Park Budget Increase; Planning Commission Takes Up Canal Street Rezoning

Troy City Council is set to consider raising the bidding authorization for the Troy Aquatic Park (TAP) Maintenance Project from $1,700,000 to $2,500,000, the largest dollar item on recent city agendas. The increase follows two bids received May 13, 2026, both coming in at approximately $2.4 million — above the original estimate due to higher costs for joint replacement, electrical work, fencing, and a steel entry canopy. The Troy Recreation Board unanimously approved the recommendation June 17, 2026. The additional funding would come from the Park and Recreation Capital Improvement Fund (Fund 228).

City Council — July 6

Council's agenda includes a public hearing on the 2027 Tax Budget (R-37-2026) and Resolution R-38-2026, which would authorize the $2,500,000 bid increase for the TAP Maintenance Project. The project covers repairs to the drop slide, concrete decking, pool gutter, pumps, chemical system, and filtration.

Also on the agenda is Ordinance O-29-2026, which would extend moratoriums on community-oriented residential social service facilities and automobile fuel dispensing/service stations for an additional 90 days, through November 27, 2026.

The meeting includes the oath of office for new Firefighter-EMT Joah Schricker and a presentation on National Night Out (August 4) by Thomas Kirkman.

Minutes for this meeting have not yet been published, so no outcomes are confirmed.

Council Committee Meetings — June 29

The Recreation & Parks Committee discussed the Recreation Board's request to amend Resolution R-5-2026, increasing the TAP Maintenance Project bidding authorization to $2,500,000. The committee's recommendation was to go to full City Council for a decision. Minutes for this meeting have not yet been published.

Planning Commission — July 8

The Planning Commission agenda includes a minor amendment to the Troy Christian Schools Planned Development: installing a 6-foot composite privacy fence (43 linear feet) on the patio outside Ernst Café, atop an existing 2-foot retaining wall, to shield the area from wind.

The commission was also scheduled to decide whether to hold a public hearing on rezoning 28 W. Canal Street from B-3 Central Business District to R-5 Single-Family Residential District. The property owner is Heather Sturgill. The commission would then make a recommendation to City Council.

Additionally, the commission continued its review of the draft Unified Development Code, covering policy items including principal buildings, gateway overlay, wireless facilities, wind energy, beekeeping, solar panels, nursery parking, cross access, fences, sign code, and non-conformities. Minutes have not yet been published.

Coming Up

City Council Committee Meetings — Monday, July 13: The Council Committee of the Whole will review a proposal to improve the intersection of West Main Street (SR41) and Experiment Farm Road/South Stanfield Road. The committee is tasked with recommending one of two design alternatives: a signalized intersection, with an estimated total project cost of $4,279,970, or a roundabout, estimated at $4,298,111. The project addresses safety concerns, high crash rates, and traffic congestion in the area. The City Engineer will review the June 24 meeting as part of the discussion.
