Zanesville meeting summaries, agendas, and minutes

Zanesville City Council moves on banking deal, software termination, and park invoice

Zanesville City Council's July 13 meeting covered several ordinances affecting city finances and services, including a long-term banking agreement, a contract termination for permitting software, and payment for Riverside Park pickleball court work. Minutes from the meeting have not yet been published, so vote tallies are not available.

Banking agreement with Park National Bank

Ordinance No. 2026-60 would establish an agreement with Park National Bank for city banking services through May 31, 2031. The agenda lists this item, but without published minutes, the final vote count is not yet confirmed.

Riverside Park pickleball courts invoice

Ordinance No. 2026-61 addresses payment of a prior-year invoice for the Riverside Park pickleball courts. The agenda does not specify the dollar amount of the invoice. This item covers a cost carried over from a previous budget cycle.

Employee appreciation event

Ordinance No. 2026-63 involves an expenditure of approximately $4,500 for an employee and family appreciation event. The agenda lists this as a council action item.

Tyler Technologies contracts terminated

Ordinance No. 2026-64 calls for termination of contracts with Tyler Technologies related to permitting software. The agenda does not specify the financial terms of the termination or what replacement system, if any, the city plans to use.

Police vehicle and equipment auction

The Police Department has scheduled a vehicle and equipment auction for July 25, 2026. The agenda does not list specific items to be auctioned or expected proceeds.

Committee meetings cancelled

Both the Public Service Committee and the Public Safety Committee meetings scheduled for July 13, 2026, were cancelled. Each committee's next meeting is scheduled for August 10, 2026.

What residents should know

The banking agreement, if approved, locks in the city's primary banking relationship for nearly five years. The Tyler Technologies termination signals a change in how Zanesville handles permitting, though details on a replacement are not yet public. The Riverside Park pickleball court payment relates to a prior-year invoice, meaning the work was already completed or underway. Residents interested in surplus city property can attend or watch for results from the July 25 police auction.

Coming up

No upcoming meetings are listed within the next 14 days. The Public Service Committee and Public Safety Committee are both scheduled to meet again on August 10, 2026. Residents should check the city's official agenda postings for any additional meetings added before then.

Zanesville Council Set to Consider Five-Year Banking Agreement, Software Switch, and Zoning Map Revision

Zanesville City Council had a full agenda on June 22, 2026, with committees scheduled to weigh in on a new five-year banking services agreement, a change in permitting software vendors, and a revision of the city's zoning map. Because meeting minutes have not yet been published, the items below reflect what was listed on the agendas — not confirmed outcomes.

Banking Services and Public Depositories

The Ways and Means Committee was set to discuss and vote on two ordinances related to the city's banking arrangements:

• **Ordinance 2026-60**: Would authorize an agreement with Park National Bank for banking and cash management services for a five-year period running 2026 through 2031. The ordinance was declared an emergency.
• **Ordinance 2026-62**: Would designate certain banking institutions as public depositories for the city for the same five-year period, 2026–2031. This ordinance was also declared an emergency.

Both items were listed for committee discussion and a vote. The agenda also included approval of previous minutes. The meeting was open to the public.

Riverside Park Pickleball Courts Invoices

Also on the June 22 agenda was the payment of prior-year invoices for the Riverside Park Pickleball Courts. No dollar amount was specified in the agenda materials provided.

Permitting Software Transition

The Community Development Committee was scheduled to hold first readings on two ordinances that would shift the city's permitting and licensing software from one vendor to another:

• **Ordinance 2026-64**: Would terminate contracts with Tyler Technologies for permitting software.
• **Ordinance 2026-65**: Would authorize a new contract with Vertosoft for permitting and licensing software.

No contract values were listed in the available agenda materials.

Zoning Map Amendment

A third ordinance before the Community Development Committee addressed land use across the city:

• **Ordinance 2026-66**: Would amend and revise the city zoning map for permanent zoning in Zanesville.

No specific properties, districts, or streets were identified in the agenda summary. The committee agenda listed no separate discussion items beyond the three first readings.

What This Means for Residents

The banking ordinances, if passed, would govern how the city manages its cash and which institutions hold public deposits through May 2031. The software change would affect how residents and businesses apply for permits and licenses. The zoning map revision could change what can be built where in Zanesville, though the scope of proposed changes was not detailed in the available agenda materials.

Because minutes from the June 22 meetings have not yet been published, it is not yet confirmed which ordinances were approved, tabled, or amended. Readers should check the official City Council records for final outcomes and vote tallies.

Coming Up

No upcoming meetings were listed for the next 14 days (July 6–20, 2026) in the materials provided. Residents are encouraged to check the City of Zanesville's official website for any newly scheduled or special meetings.

Zanesville City Council weighs banking deal, software switch, and zoning map update in committee meetings

The Zanesville City Council took up a slate of financial and operational items during its June 22 committee meetings, including a proposed five-year banking agreement with Park National Bank and a software transition for community development permitting. All items appeared on meeting agendas; official minutes were not yet published at the time of this report.

Banking and depositories

The Ways and Means Committee discussed two emergency ordinances that would authorize a banking services and cash management agreement with Park National Bank for the period 2026–2031 and designate public depositories for the city for the same five-year term. Both ordinances would be declared emergencies if adopted.

Community development and zoning

In separate sessions, the City Council — and specifically its Community Development Committee — considered a trio of related measures. A first reading was held on Ordinance 2026-64, which would terminate existing contracts with Tyler Technologies for permitting software. A companion ordinance, 2026-65, would execute a new agreement with Vertosoft to provide permitting and licensing software. The committee also gave a first reading to Ordinance 2026-66, which would amend and revise the city’s zoning map to establish permanent zoning.

Other agenda items

Council documents also listed resolutions to settle prior-year invoices tied to the Riverside Park Pickleball Courts. Additionally, the same meeting materials referenced competing software contracts — ending the Tyler Technologies relationship and starting fresh with Vertosoft — alongside the zoning map overhaul.

Because no record of final votes was available, the disposition of each ordinance remains unconfirmed from the available agenda documents.

Coming up

No government meetings are currently listed on the public calendar for the next 14 days.
