(First Reading, Suspend Rules) a. Prior to the reading of the Resolution, Mayor shared several facts about former Police Chief Joe Richard. Chief Richard began his law enforcement career in 1961 as a dispatcher for the Ohio State Patrol in Defiance, Ohio, where he served for 10 years. He then briefly worked for the Butler County Sheriff’s Department before joining the City of Trenton. On September 15, 1971, Joe Richard was sworn in as a Lieutenant by Pope Adams, becoming the first full- time police officer hired by the City. On January 1, 1977, he was sworn in as the City’s first full-time Police Chief by Mayor John Mandafore. Chief Richard retired on July 4, 2000, after a long and distinguished career, having served as one of the longest-tenured police chiefs in the Tri-State area. Following these remarks, Mayor read the Resolution in its entirety.

AN ORDINANCE ESTABLISHING PRIORITY OF PROPERTY TAX EXEMPTIONS GRANTED FOR PARCELS OF REAL PROPERTY LOCATED WITHIN THE CITY OF TRENTON, OHIO, AND DECLARING AN EMERGENCY. (First Reading, Suspend Rules) Motion –The Rules Be Suspended and The Ordinance Is Voted On Tonight (Roll Call Vote) 1st__ Vice Mayor Woodrey___ 2nd_____ Mr. Perry _ YAYS: Perry, Woodrey, Croucher, Montgomery, Nichols, Combs, Perry (7) NAYS: (0) ABSTAIN: (0) ABSENT: (0) Motion –The Ordinance Be Approved (Roll Call Vote) 1st__ Vice Mayor Woodrey___ 2nd_____ Ms. Montgomery _ YAYS: Perry, Woodrey, Croucher, Montgomery, Nichols, Combs, Perry (7) NAYS: (0) ABSTAIN: (0) ABSENT: (0) REPORTS Clerk of Council, Stanislav Beresford- Mr. Beresford noted that there was a motion not included in Council’s packets but discussed during the work session regarding a motion authorizing the City Manager to enter into an agreement with Ferguson Enterprises LLC to purchase pipe setting supplies in the amount of $38,476.39. City Manager Nichols responded by requesting that a voice motion be made to add the item to the agenda. City Manager, Marcos Nichols- Mr. Nichols noted that he had one report, stating that the events hosted by the City this year have been unique and continue to grow in both scope and attendance. He shared that both he and others have spoken highly of Ms. Kelsey Moore and expressed excitement that she will be participating in a webinar panel next week hosted by Swank Motion Pictures—the company the City contracts with for its Movies in the Park series. Ms. Moore will be speaking on a session titled "Sponsorships Made Simple: How Parks Get Funded Through Partnerships". Mr. Nichols emphasized that it is encouraging to see her not only recognized locally but also being acknowledged at a broader level for her leadership and contributions to community events. City of Trenton REGULAR COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES September 4, 2025 - 7:30 p.m. Finance Director, Matthew Mesisklis- Mr. Mesisklis thanked Council for accepting the last- minute motion and explained that the purchase is one small component of a broader water loss mitigation plan currently underway within the Public Works Department. He shared that at the next Council meeting, he will be requesting an emergency ordinance to address another key element of that plan—granting the City the authority to estimate water usage in certain situations. Referring to a previously shared chart, Mr. Mesisklis reminded Council that even a quarter-inch hole in a line can result in significant daily water loss, and a half- inch hole can result in up to 60,000 gallons lost per day. He emphasized that many of these unmetered losses occur on private property, and the ability for the Water Department to estimate affected bills and assess those charges to property taxes would serve as a critical enforcement tool to encourage property owners to address their own infrastructure issues. While acknowledging Council’s general preference to avoid waiving the two-reading rule for code changes, Mr. Mesisklis stated that he intends to request that Council do so for this forthcoming ordinance in light of the urgency and importance of the matter. AUDIENCE OF COUNCIL Mr. Croucher- Mr. Croucher began his comments by thanking everyone in the audience for attending the evening’s Council meeting. He extended a warm welcome to Allison Hatter, who was newly appointed to the Parks Board, and also thanked Ms. Montgomery for leading the opening prayer. Mr. Croucher then announced that the upcoming Coffee with a Cop event scheduled for Friday at State Street had been cancelled, humorously adding that if anyone still showed up, coffee would be on them—though Diane would surely appreciate the business. He went on to promote the next Movies in the Park event, which will take place on September 13th and feature Shark Boy and Lava Girl. Activities will begin at 6:00 p.m. and include a cape and mask contest, giveaways, face painting, and photo opportunities. Additionally, “Franks with the Fuzz” will run from 6:00 to 8:00 p.m., featuring snow cones, popcorn, and cotton candy. Edgewood Baptist Church will be providing water. Mr. Croucher concluded by saying he looks forward to seeing everyone at the event. City of Trenton REGULAR COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES September 4, 2025 - 7:30 p.m. Ms. Montgomery- Ms. Montgomery began by thanking Ms. Combs for the flowers she had given her. She shared that her birthday was on Tuesday and that her family attended the Jambilee in honor of her, as well as in remembrance of their mother, who passed away in 2010—the same year they lost their father. She reflected on how her mother used to host Labor Day celebrations with 30 to 40 guests, where the family would play ball and enjoy many outdoor activities. Ms. Montgomery noted that because she had spent last summer in the hospital, this year’s gathering was especially meaningful. Her family chose to celebrate the values their mother instilled in them—kindness and sharing—and Ms. Montgomery said her personal goal for the weekend was to see her entire family, which she did. She expressed gratitude to the Public Works Department, recognizing Mr. Baker and his team, as well as Chief Siebold, and added that her family enjoyed meeting everyone and could not stop talking about how wonderful the City of Trenton is. She said it touched her deeply, affirming her sense of purpose—something she has felt since childhood—namely, a lifelong desire to serve others, which she affirmed will never change. Ms. Montgomery called the Jambilee a wonderful event full of talent and thanked Ms. Moore and Mr. Nichols for recognizing her participation on the panel. She praised Ms. Moore for her tremendous help with events and spoke positively about discussions surrounding the Veterans Memorial, noting that many things happening in the city are due to those on Council. She then happily acknowledged City Attorney Nick Ziepfel, Matthew Mesisklis, and Mr. Beresford, calling them “cute” and adding that she’s old enough to say so. She emphasized how much the Trenton community means to her and said that everyone serving the city goes above and beyond. She then recognized Allison Hatter for joining the Parks Board and praised the sense of humor she brings. Ms. Montgomery closed by saying it is amazing to see what God is doing in Trenton and that she is grateful to be a part of it. She said her family asked her to thank everyone, sharing how much they appreciated the kindness shown to them. She concluded by stating that it was the best birthday she has had in a long time and thanked everyone once more, noting that she will return to work on the 22nd. Ms. Combs- Ms. Combs began her report by reflecting on her 20 years of service on Council, recalling how when she first started, the city only had the beginnings of an amphitheater and the park was far from being utilized to its full potential. She shared how much it warms her heart to now see the park being used in such meaningful and expanded ways, especially with so many free opportunities for families during a time when the cost of living is so high. She thanked everyone who makes these events possible and gave special recognition to Ms. Moore, praising her for taking what the city started and consistently growing it into something bigger and better with each event. Ms. Combs then expressed her sympathies to the Richard family. She concluded her report by sharing a lighthearted anecdote about how she had left her EMA donation items in her car during the festival, but someone driving a cart was kind enough to take her back to retrieve them so she could donate canned goods. City of Trenton REGULAR COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES September 4, 2025 - 7:30 p.m. Mr. Nichols- Mr. Nichols thanked Ms. Hatter for joining the Parks Board as an alternate, noting that she has already been a highly involved volunteer and that her presence on the board will help streamline efforts moving forward. He then shared a personal anecdote about Former Chief Joe Richard that wasn’t included in the Mayor’s earlier remarks. In the early 1970s, when Trenton was installing new sewer lines, Joe Richard used his own backhoe during his off time to help residents with their residential hookups. Mr. Nichols noted that Richard often did this work at more affordable rates than private contractors, making it easier for residents to afford the transition during a costly period. Mr. Perry- Mr. Perry noted that he attended the Bluegrass Festival and described it as a fantastic event, adding that it was well worth the time to attend. He then highlighted the success of the EMA Food Bank initiative, expressing appreciation for the generous donations received. He specifically mentioned one gentleman who brought three cases to donate, emphasizing how deeply appreciated such contributions are. Mr. Perry encouraged everyone to continue supporting local families through ongoing donations. Vice Mayor Woodrey- Vice Mayor welcomed and thanked Ms. Hatter for stepping forward to serve on the Parks Board, sharing that he met her on Saturday while she was serving as the official photographer and noted she did a fantastic job, as did everyone involved. He extended appreciation to Public Works, Police, Fire and EMS, the Parks Board, and Kelsey Moore, highlighting that Ms. Moore continues to receive well-deserved recognition. He shared a personal anecdote from spending about 20 minutes on Joe Mullins’ tour bus, where he asked questions and got to know the band, and noted that Joe Mullins—an experienced bluegrass promoter with over 20 years of touring—had nothing but positive and complimentary things to say about Ms. Moore, which spoke volumes about her contributions to the Sundown Jambilee. Vice Mayor confirmed that the event will continue annually and Joe Mullins offered to assist Ms. Moore with lining up acts and entertainment for next year. He then extended heartfelt condolences to the family of Chief Richard, sharing that Chief Richard had hired him as a part-time dispatcher years ago. He recalled Chief Richard’s calm but confident leadership style, stating that if Joe ever raised his voice, it meant something serious. Vice Mayor expressed appreciation for the guidance and leadership Chief Richard provided, saying he will be missed and always greeted others with a smile. He offered prayers for the family’s comfort. On a lighter note, Vice Mayor joked about Ms. Montgomery revealing she is 72, noting that it’s rare for him not to be the oldest in the room, adding humorously that among those at the table he now ranks fourth in age. He closed by expressing appreciation for the camaraderie among Council members and stated that he will miss it next year. City of Trenton REGULAR COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES September 4, 2025 - 7:30 p.m. Mayor Perry- Mayor Perry began his report by sending his condolences to Mr. Richard’s family, noting that anyone who served the city as long and as dedicated as he did—especially given the story Mr. Nichols shared—deserves every accolade the city can offer. Mayor welcomed Ms. Hatter to the Parks Board, adding that serving on the board is always entertaining and encouraging those who haven’t seen a Parks Board meeting to watch one, calling them a lot of fun and perhaps the most exciting meetings in Trenton. Reflecting on the city’s growth, Mayor acknowledged how far the city has come since hosting Blessed Union of Souls in freezing rain at the inaugural amphitheater concert, remembering that it was the coldest day in September with a leaky roof and pouring rain, yet the band still played a full set in front of only a handful of attendees. Mr. Nichols added that prior to that, events were hosted on a temporary stage with campers in the background. Mayor recalled how the city used to have to rent a stage from an outside company due to the lack of performance space. Vice Mayor added that the city has come a long way, and Mr. Nichols emphasized it was money well spent on Community Park. Ms. Montgomery agreed, highlighting how important it is for families— especially during times of rising costs—to have access to free community events and playgrounds. She added that’s what community is all about and said she loves it. Vice Mayor also noted that since the amphitheater was built, the city has hosted three nationally recognized music acts: Blessed Union of Souls, Kentucky Headhunters, and Joe Mullins and the Radio Ramblers—each with prestigious accolades. He pointed out that while some may view Trenton as a small town, it consistently manages to attract major acts. Ms. Montgomery shared a memory of her company doing a butterfly release at the park and how the community showed up in great numbers for that event. Mayor added that current movie night crowds are now as large as past concert crowds, and concert crowds continue to grow, thanking the community for attending and supporting events. He noted that without community participation, these events wouldn’t be the success that they are. Vice Mayor emphasized the importance of sponsors as well, recognizing their major role in making the city’s events possible. Mayor concluded by inviting everyone to the upcoming Veterans Memorial 5K fundraiser on November 8th, encouraging participants to race City Attorney Nick Ziepfel and receive a handshake if they beat him. He noted check-in begins at 7:30 AM and the race starts at 8:30 AM, with flyers posted throughout the city and at the municipal building. Mayor closed by adding that if residents haven’t yet seen the renderings of the completed Veterans Memorial, they should—because it will be absolutely beautiful. City of Trenton REGULAR COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES September 4, 2025 - 7:30 p.m. ADJOURNMENT Motion - That the meeting be adjourned.
