Civic issues
Topics getting the most attention in Huber Heights public meetings, ranked by how frequently they come up.
Annexation of 5.091 acres from Bethel Township
Council was scheduled to accept roughly 5.091 acres being annexed from Bethel Township in Miami County into Huber Heights, following county commissioners' approval of the petition.
Churches of Christ annexation for disaster relief warehouse
The city is accepting about 5.091 acres from Bethel Township for a church disaster-recovery organization that plans to build a storage facility. The land is south of U.S. Route 40 and fits the city's agreement with Bethel Township. A rezoning will follow at planning commission.
Public Works Facility/City Hall Renovation Furnishings
Up to $350,000 for furniture and equipment at the new Public Works Facility and renovated City Hall, using last year's competitively bid pricing to avoid rebidding and lock in costs before expected price hikes.
Setback variances for aging-parent home additions
A homeowner wants to replace a poorly insulated enclosed patio with a year-round conditioned room addition, which triggers the 40-foot rear setback rule in R-4 districts. The board found the variance criteria were met and approved it unanimously.
Timbercrest demolition for dispatch/IT center
The city is spending $570,059 to gut the old Timbercrest building before turning it into the Technology and Communications Hub, which will house police dispatch and the IT department.
Facility Relocation
Huber Heights is dropping $250,000 on a new land deal to relocate the city dispatch center. This move frees up some desperately needed space for the local police department.
Thomas Cloud Park land purchase extension
The city is extending its purchase agreement for 9 acres next to Thomas Cloud Park by a year (costing $10,000 more in earnest money) so it can move a use restriction off the Cloud House — freeing the historic house for new uses.
Government Facility Opening
The long-awaited public works facility on Taylorsville Road holds its ribbon cutting Friday at 3:30 p.m., replacing a cramped Wayne Township building staff had outgrown for decades.
