Written with the help of AI from the Springboro City Council agenda, Thursday, November 5, 2026.
2027 budget and 5-year capital plan
Council will vote on a motion to approve the 2027 budget of the City of Springboro and a separate motion to approve the city’s 5-year Capital Improvement Program, which is the long-range plan for major projects and equipment. The agenda does not list dollar figures for either one.
A work session starts at 5:30 p.m., ahead of the regular meeting, with a 2027 CIP and budget presentation. The agenda says the session begins early to make room for that presentation.
Landmark properties added to the zoning code
Council will take a third reading of an ordinance, which is a city law, that would create Section 1272.13, Landmark Properties, in the Planning and Zoning Code. It would also set a fee for landmark properties in Section 1464.05, the city’s fee schedule. The agenda does not state the amount of the fee or which properties would be covered.
Bailey Farm Subdivision Phase 3
Council will take a third reading of an emergency ordinance approving the record plan and performance guaranty for Bailey Farm Subdivision Phase 3. It would also authorize the city manager to enter into a subdivider’s agreement. A performance guaranty is a financial assurance that required work will be completed. An emergency ordinance takes effect immediately rather than after the usual waiting period.
Changes to boards, commissions and building rules
A first-reading ordinance would amend several chapters of the city’s administration code, which covers how city government is run. It would create Chapter 260, Boards and Commissions Generally, and Chapter 275, Bicycle & Pedestrian Advisory Committee. It would also amend Chapters 276, 280 and 286, delete Chapters 284 and 287, and amend parts of Chapter 290, Mayor’s Court. A new Chapter 1480 would be added to the building and housing code under Miscellaneous Building Regulations. The agenda gives no details on what the changes would do.
Supplemental appropriation for 2026
Council will consider, as a first reading, an emergency ordinance for a supplemental appropriation. That means adding spending authority to the 2026 budget, which amends Ordinance O-26-01, passed December 18, 2025. The agenda does not give the amount or purpose.
Routine items
Council will also consider a resolution granting Duke Energy Ohio, Inc. an easement through city-owned property on Lot 4 of the East Street Beginnings, Phase One plat. An easement gives a utility the right to use a strip of land. Council will also approve the minutes of the October 15, 2026 work session and regular meeting. No dollar totals are listed for these items.
The agenda also includes a regular meeting listed for November 19, 2026, which it says has been rescheduled to November 5. It lists no minutes, presentations or legislation.
How to weigh in
The work session begins at 5:30 p.m. and the regular meeting at 7:00 p.m. on Thursday, November 5, 2026, at 320 W. Central Avenue, Springboro. The regular meeting agenda includes an item for guest comments, when residents can address council. The agenda does not describe time limits or sign-up rules. Questions can be directed to the city at 937.748.4343.
