  • verbatim SECTION 2. Pursuant to Ohio Rev. Code § 3735.66, the City-Wide CRA is hereby established in the area delineated by a boundary as indicated on the map attached hereto as Exhibit A.
  • housing_survey [verified] The R.C. 3735.66 survey of housing is recited as "on file at the City Hall, 201 West Poplar Street" and is NOT attached to the resolution. [open] — not in corpus.
exemption_ceiling_as_adopted
  • tag verified
  • commercial_industrial_new_construction (d) Up to fifteen (15) years, and up to one hundred percent (100%) for the construction of new commercial (including residential with more than two units) and industrial structures, the term and percentage of which shall be negotiated on a case-by-case basis in advance of construction occurring.
  • highest_tier_in_this_resolution 15 years / 100%
  • no_megaproject_clause [verified] §4 as adopted runs (a) through (d) and ends there. There is no clause (e), no thirty-year tier, and no reference to R.C. 122.17 anywhere in this instrument. The thirty-year megaproject tier was added by Res. 69-25 on 2025-09-08 — seven weeks before Res. 80-25 authorized a 30-year / 100% CRA Agreement with Amazon Data Services.
  • dwelling_extension [verified] A DWELLING's exemption may be extended up to ten additional years for a certified historic structure — the only path past fifteen years in the resolution as adopted, and it does not reach commercial or industrial property.
administration
  • housing_officer
    • tag verified
    • verbatim SECTION 6. To administer and implement the provisions of this Resolution, the Community Development Director for the City is designated as the Housing Officer as described in Revised Code Sections 3735.65 through 3735.70.

    • officeholder
      • tag inference
      • name Barbara Dulworth
      • reasoning The office is designated BY TITLE ("the Community Development Director for the City"). That the title-holder is Barbara Dulworth composes this section with a staff-attendance line naming her in that role — two verified reads, joined. NO DOCUMENT READ HERE SAYS "Barbara Dulworth is the Housing Officer", which is why this is [inference] and not [verified].

        • note She is named in the same role in the attendance rolls of the 2025-10-27 and 2026-02-23 minutes, both also committed. Any one of the three carries it.
  • housing_council
    • tag verified
    • verbatim SECTION 7. That a "Community Reinvestment Area Housing Council" shall be created, consisting of two (2) members appointed by the Mayor, two (2) members appointed by the City Council, and one (1) member appointed by the Planning Commission. The majority of the members shall then appoint two (2) additional members who shall be residents within the area. Terms of the members of the Housing Council shall be for three (3) years. An unexpired term resulting from a vacancy in the Housing Council shall be filled in the same manner as the initial appointment was made.
    • seats 7
    • why_the_composition_matters [verified] SEVEN SEATS, and only FOUR are ever filled by a Council resolution (two Mayor-confirmed, two Council-appointed). The fifth is the Planning Commission's appointment and the last two are co-opted by the members themselves. That is why appointment resolutions can never account for the whole body, and it explains an appointment record that otherwise looks incomplete.

The Housing Council's minutes for 2025-10-23 are not published on the City portal. Do not cite this for anything the Housing Council decided beyond the fact of the recommendation.

        • note The City's published Resolutions container carries appointment acts to this body — Res. 74-25 (2025), 37-26 and 38-26 (2026). ⚠️ [reference] BY TITLE ONLY: the container listing was enumerated but none of the three has been pulled or read, so the seats, terms and members they name are not established here. Route: Documents-On-Demand, Resolutions container ed39b349-35b5-4408-97f9-bc135fd019c0.
    • ⚠️_not_in_the_civic_registry CORRECTED 2026-08-13. This entry previously read "It is one of the seven bodies in data/reference/subdivisions/sidney/subdivisions.yaml (#1999)." THAT IS FALSE, and it was written here in #1998 without checking: the registry's seven bodies are the City Council, the City Planning Commission, the County Commissioners, the County Regional Planning Commission, Clinton Township, and the two school boards. The Housing Council is not among them. It has its own containers on the City portal (Minutes 8ea56988-d831-f111-a491-000c29a59557, Agenda 1c6ff647-d831-f111-a491-000c29a59557) and belongs in that registry; adding it needs its own grounding documents and is its own change.
vote
  • roll_call_recorded no
  • outcome_recorded no
  • note [open] The minutes of 2022-10-10 were not pulled. The RECORD OF ORDINANCES page carries the enacting clause and the passage date only — the form of the instrument, not a gap in the read. The vote is retrievable: City Council Minutes for 2022 are on the same portal, under the Minutes container's 2022 year folder.
what_this_instrument_does_not_establish
  • THE BOUNDARY. Exhibit A is the map and it is an image; it is not read here. What the City-Wide CRA covered in 2022 is [open], and Res. 69-25 states it was expanded more than once between then and 2025.
  • ANY CONNECTION TO THE CAMPUS. This resolution predates every campus instrument by three years and names no project. It is program legislation.
⚠ Gaps in the record
  • Clean native text layer, but the older Pettibone journal form scans worse than the Form 30043 stock: page rules bleed into the text as runs of "=" and the section headings lose spacing. Quoted as extracted. Pages 4-6 are Exhibit A (the boundary map) and were not read.
