Anybody here that wants to speak for our Council?
Speak tonight?
podiums, yours.
To resupposuto?
Five, sixty, sixty to Brookdrive?
Trucks.
We have two semis on our street this week.
Just want to find out if we can have some no trucks sign posted please.
A traffic, a successive, I'm hoping that there's somebody that would be able to remind those school employees and any other employees that are working on either end of the street that the speed limits 25 miles an hour.
There's a lot of speeding on that street.
Also, they have more stop signs and speed limit signs posted that whole stretch.
And they're, at the end of my driveway, in the road was a water main break.
Sometime in the fall, if there's somebody could come and take a look at it,
because between the road and my friend, there's a big dip in there,
and there's a lot of water pulling there.
And I don't want it to start to look like the situation that's happening
at the chestnut where the traffic light is.
Because, and yes, we've had a lot of rain,
But even when it's not raining, there's a lot of water pooling there.
And the retention pond on the kind of like the the west corner of Cedar Brook.
And Chessnut has was redone.
I'm now going to nice view of the back of Atwell's Guns Shore and the convenience store.
I'd like to find out if those possible trees could be planted as privacy screen.
And for the future, maybe have a giant grass and medium built in the middle of Seerbrook
like there is on Monticello Boulevard just to keep the traffic light.
Pretty good, huh?
Very good.
I'm assuming you're making notes on some of the things.
And we have our four member here so you'll be able to get back to her, though.
Lori?
I just didn't hear her last statement if she couldn't.
Oh, this is like far in the future, but maybe a consideration.
I have a grassy center median.
Gotcha.
Thank you.
You're welcome.
Thank you, all.
Thanks, Theresa.
You're welcome.
Any email, of course.
Do I have a committee report?
No.
The committee reports.
We'll now have a committee report for the finance.
Can you question them?
The finance committee did me.
And Tuesday, February 15th, Council individuals over there were learning to now all packed
in myself along with some representatives from wastewater and our city manager and assistant
the city manager and John and John I forgot your last name John Butler, who is now from
of the newsletter.
There were several topics discussed. One was the possibility of a depth
issuance for sewer. Our water treatment plant needs to replace repair one of the covers
for the holding tank, I think, okay, and it's about a million two.
Our, oh, I forgot to say Andy was there too.
Thanks, Andy.
Andy indicated that if we don't in this direction,
we issue a bond issue.
It would be about 60,000 years, for 20 years, and he says that we've fitted in the budget,
so we're going to cross two more teas and got a few more eyes, and that will be coming
before council here in a little while.
Secondly, please, both of Levis, we have a fire levy, the new fire levy, which is a five-year
and the road levee which is a five year levee which expires in 2022 and so the first time
we can go out to renew those are in November of this year. It was recommended from the finance
committee that the City Council of the Administration research a little bit in terms of other
of might be going out for levies at this point in time, but if it appears that we would
like to renew these levies, and there isn't a lot of conflicts going on that will need
by August to get some coverage over to the Board of Elections to get this on in November
bell. The other nice piece of information that was presented was that 2021 closed out on
a positive note and we were in the black in the areas and especially the general fund,
made a nice recovery last year and we're hoping that carries on for 2022.
And all or Lori, if you think I missed, feel free to jump in.
Just the interest rate for that loan for the $60,000 I think it was $0.00 to $0.00 to $0.00 to $0.00.
$0.00 to $0.00 to $0.00 to $0.00 to $0.00 to $0.00.
If we were around.
And I would share that on our agenda.
It was only like $30,000 over the 20 year period.
And you said our levy was expiring in 2022, and this would be the only, this wouldn't be the first, it would be the only, right?
Did you have the date wrong for the road levy and the fire levy?
No, they expired, but collecting of these levy would be the end of this year.
So if we don't get it on this, we don't think that back.
So the last inspired point is going to allow for residents in 2020.
Right.
So if we don't get it on this ballot, we won't have that.
No, maybe we have to be changed.
We don't have that.
We go on this ballot.
Oh, I see.
Okay.
But historically, especially with the world of love,
we, and I think the other fire left us so much,
we've tried to go on the ballot the first time.
Yes, for your awesome.
OK, where are you, yes, something else?
No, I just wanted to share that the members
who counsel at the committee thought
that earlier the better to get grids out there
and that we were, like Jim said,
asked that we see what else is being
especially at the school district.
What is the have anything going out?
But we were of the mindset, I think, together,
agreed that the sooner the better.
Great.
We are, one last thing now. We are also purchasing a new fire truck this year, a new tune of about 330 or 348,000.
Oh, that's right.
There we go.
There we go. That was my intro.
That was my intro.
for Jim, academic development committee, Katie?
Yes, so council members, myself, Nick Augustine and Derek,
at me were present as well as City Manager, Doug Lewis, Assistant City Manager, Doug Firesign.
You said Doug, thanks Doug, good job.
And Kathy Beaterman, our director of economic development.
The meeting was called Order at Four.
We approved the previous minutes.
We went over the CDBG, ARMEA grants for small businesses, and Kathy shared with us that they
received $65,000 in CDBG funding from the Lake County Commissioners, and we have
appropriated $220,000 in the ARPA funding that we are able to move forward with grant awards.
The committee did receive a spreadsheet of what those are if the council members would be
for sitting in the specifics.
Some of the grant recipients have not yet accepted the grants that were provided.
So if for any reason the grants are not accepted, they will be able to reallocate funds to
other individuals who may have requested funds.
We reviewed the John F. Claire Award nominees.
The committee made the decision to award the John of Clara Ward to Federico Tyre for this year.
I believe Kathy has notified Federico's and they will be present at the next council meeting to receive their awards or accommodations, whatever it may be.
And it was a, it was a unanimous decision to grant it to Federico's.
As some, most of you should remember, we did create an economic development fund in last year,
and it originally had $50,000 allocated to it.
We have two current approved allocations, although they haven't been spent yet.
The first is for a plan to be to develop Richmond, Treat and Richmond Road.
And the second was for a conceptual plan at the Huntington Big site, which ties into the Lake
Eary College dorms.
There would be at least $30,000 remaining, depending on the final costs for those two projects.
And Kathy requested an allocation of $5,000 to be able to engage with pace to establish a city
of Painsville and support a peace bond finance project at the New Lake Eary College dormitory
building the piece is property assessed clean energy.
Other than the dug-of-things, sorry.
And at that point, the members gave Kathy a approval for that, and we moved into an executive
session in accordance with ORC-121.228, and we moved out of executive session at 450 p.m.
and moved to adjourn.
Anybody have any questions for Katie?
Thank you.
Electric committee?
Yes.
Our Electric Committee, being was February 16th, at 530, of Superintendent, Superintendent,
Jeff McEwen presented an official C-Smart provided a handouts to the committee, Superintendent,
explaining the Fishing C-Smart Program through the American Municipal Power Association.
The program covers all the commercial, industrial, residential, handouts provided, the program
goals to make better use of electricity and use to reduce the cost of usage.
We went over that and then at 55 we went into an executive session for the purpose to discuss
the cost of service study and we were out at 720 and do you have any questions about pretty
which won't do the same program and
then I just want to let you know, next week I will
be in Washington representing the American Public Power Association on the board of the
policymakers and I'm also a poor member of the Ohio Municipal Electric Association. I'm
represented in Payne'sville and I will give you, you know, we're going to go lobby at the
hill and try to reduce transmission costs and other things with babbs which were
open American bonds. I'll give you guys a really good information on what we're going to handle.
I know some of the meetings are going to still be done through virtual, but we will. There's
reference representations that will make a person so excited about this. It's been three years since I've
done there. And since I got on a sport, the city doesn't have to pay for this trip.
That's it. Any questions?
Thanks, Paul. Thank you.
So now we're going to move into legislation.
If anyone wishes to comment on legislation, you must do the same with this term.
Those who make such requests will be called upon after the reading.
Any dialogue must be conducted through me as President of Council.
But your comments and questions can be addressed to Council.
The administration of both when called upon please use the podium.
Speak clearly with your name and address and into the microphone and limit your comments to three minutes.
Is anyone wish to speak on item 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, and 14?
Okay, I don't want an ornamentation section 1, 6, 7, 0, 7 of the Payne's bill code of 1998
relating to the classification and compensation plan and declaring an emergency.
This legislation is a modification to the classification and compensation plan, which adds
the positions of senior engineer slash state of IT and also adds the position of electrical
electric mechanic slash welder to. Both of these positions were budgeted in the 2022
electric department budget in order to advertise and hire for these positions. We have added
their positions to the classification and compensation plan.
Again, both of the positions were budgeted, so there will be no additional cost.
And we are recommending that the positions be approved on third rating, so this can go
one more rating.
Anyone have any questions for the draft?
Okay, this will go to third rating.
Item 2, an ordinance amending appropriations for the current expenses and expenditures of the
City of Painesville State of Ohio for a fiscal year beginning January 1, 2022, and adopting
the operating budget and declaring an emergency.
Okay, this is a budget adjustment for 2022.
One of them is to increase the public works capital budget by almost $6,000.
They requested 190,000 for a new voter and unfortunately it's coming in more than that so we're going to need a budget increase for that.
Another budget adjustment is on the city is not going to be doing the Chester Street in 2022.
The reason we're not going to do it, we're hoping to get a grant in 2023 to save the city a lot of money.
So we're not going to do that.
That will reduce the water budget by about half a million dollars.
But then we are going to be adding some capital projects for water.
Water would be doing now some capital projects on Liberty Street, the water line.
There is velvety replacements and adding Route 86 booster station.
The net effect of not doing Chester Street and replacing with the other capital project
tax is going to be a decrease of five hundred and six thousand dollars.
Another budget amendment is fire department, but you have six hundred thousand dollars
to purchase a new fire truck.
Unfortunately, this is now coming in at around six hundred and fifty thousand dollars.
The fire department was originally going to get a staff vehicle that was going to cost fifty
thousand dollars.
The fire department is going to for go getting the staff vehicle and move the fifty thousand
dollars and put it on to the fire truck.
There's also a police department's asking for an
increase of $4,000. This is coming out of their law enforcement trust fund. And lastly,
the courts is asking for a small increase. None of these increases affect the general fund.
And this could go three reads.
Did
anyone hear any questions?
I was just going to move the suspense out.
No, why would we move the suspense out?
The labor, the stress, you know?
So move the suspense.
Rokal moves the spirit, Rokal.
Mr. Hack?
Yes.
Mrs. Jenkins.
Yes.
Mr. Abbey.
Yes.
Mrs. Janala?
Yes.
Mr. Foder.
Yes.
Mrs. Shib.
Yes.
Move to adopt.
Second.
Rokal.
Mr. Hack?
Yes.
Mr. Jenkins. Yes. Mr. Avenue. Yes. Mr. Donald. Yes. Mr. Fotter. Yes. Mr. Schupe. Yes.
On this passage. Thank you.
Okay. We are now on item three.
A resolution authorizing the city of Painesville, higher to proceed with the demolition of an unsafe structure
at 5.50 Fairlon Avenue in the city of Painesville Lake County, Ohio, to request the assistance
and cooperation of the Lake County Reutilization Corporation in effecting the same and
declaring an emergency.
Members of Council, my name is Derek.
Just kidding, I had to have some fun with that.
And here, this is the third reading for 550 per law in Avenue.
Any questions or concerns I can try to answer?
We have advertised.
We have gone through the proper notifications.
We've not received any feedback from any of them,
and we did receive one certified mail receipt back.
So one of the letters list clover.
Happy to answer any questions.
I'd like to have a comment.
Thank you very much.
I just wanted to make sure that community knew that I had to ask for the land bank property report.
Thank you, Derek, and for making sure that that happened.
I was pretty pleased with the report.
I hope other council members saw it in their emails.
And is it okay if I just give length numbers does it's fine, right?
Sure.
So as far as the demolition activity, there were 60 properties, currently owned by the
Lang County Bank, our 15 properties that have been returned to productive use, which I was
really pleased with in 30, and there are a few still with title issues, and there's just 11
with that.
So that's me was really good.
So I really, again, appreciate you guys going through the trouble
of getting that and maybe some good about what we're doing.
And I think we need to thank the land bank,
because this is something that they have put together,
and they're going to continue this for all the communities
in Lake County.
So this is something that they have started
and will continue from here out.
So we will be able to get this information very easily
in the future?
Any other questions?
Can I get a motion?
Someone moved to a doctor, right?
Can I get a second?
Mr. Jenkins? Yes. Mr. Abbey? Yes.
Mrs. De Nala? Yes. Mr. Foder? Yes. Mr. Hack? Yes. Mr. Schiff? Yes. Resolution passed.
I've informed. A resolution authorizing the city of Payne'sville, Ohio, to proceed with the demolition of an unsafe
structure at 249 East Prospect Street in the city of Painesville Lake County Ohio, and
to request the assistance and cooperation of the Lake County Realization Corporation in effecting
the same and declaring an emergency.
Members of Council, this is very similar to the previous piece of legislation.
We have to answer any questions on this.
I do know that the owners have been made aware of the demolition process.
They have not filed a motion to appeal.
So a few days after that.
And obviously passing this night does not mean it's going to be demolished.
And actually days it just allows us the right to go forward with our
preceding.
So half of the answer any questions.
Any questions for dirt?
Can I have a motion to adopt?
Moved to adopt?
Local?
Mr. Anthony?
Yes.
Mr. Dynala.
Mr. Foder.
Yes.
Mr. Hack.
Yes.
Mr. Jenkins.
Mr. Schupe.
Yes.
Resolution adopted.
Aye.
Resolution authorizing the city of Painesville, Ohio to proceed with the demolition of an unsaved
structure at 3.39 willow drive in the city of Painesville Lake County, Ohio to request
the assistance and a cooperation of the Lake County
reviewization corporation and affecting the same
and declaring an emergency.
Members of council, I would like to say this is just
like the previous two, but it's slightly different.
So while this is on a second read, the grant that the Lake County
Land Rear Organization Corporation is looking
to use to proceed with the demo she's possibly of the first
two items, we would like to have this properly included
and that, however, the deadline for the grant is this week.
We were talking, we were talking about this a little bit over the weekend from the Lake
County land.
We were utilization of preparation, and while I understand that it's on the second
rate, we were still continuing with the proper notifications, so a while for the same appeal
process, treat that property and same as everything else, the only difference is by passing
it tonight, and sending it over to the land, re-ealization corporation, preserves our right
to just have access to that grant funding.
If they appeal, and we work out, it's bless you, if they work, if we work through it, and
we decide not to demolish, then we bless you.
We will move forward, just as we would have a normal property.
This just preserves our right to possibly go after that grant funding, one of the ways we
would be able to achieve.
That's the only difference.
So I would ask, if the world was could be suspended in the past tonight,
But I also understand if you don't want to rush it, I'm not going to push you down.
So, I do have a question.
So, if we do move this spend and we take care of this, and suddenly the owner comes out with her hair on fire going,
No, no, no.
Can we stop it?
Absolutely.
I will say this property has been a, we've taken for a minute.
I doubt that.
But I just want to have a, yes, we still preserve that right to do that.
We can stop it at any point in time and work with that owner next time.
Any other questions?
Second.
Volcker.
Yes.
Mr. Fauder.
Mr. Hack.
Mr. Jenkins.
Yes.
Mr. Abbey.

Item six.
A resolution authorizing and directing the city manager to apply for and fund except funds through
the FY 2023-2024 Capitolville Community Projects Program to install a splash pad at
Guana's Recreation Park and declaring an emergency.
Good evening.
I'm just here to see if you have any more questions.
We brought this up with the last council meeting.
I did have one question.
So, correct me if I'm wrong, if I'm looking from the direction of the entrance,
the idea
is to do the splash pad to the right side of the pond.
Well, I mean, like, before the pond, but on the right side.
Yes, exactly.
Yes.
So, why was it not considered to do the left?
because of the disk call.
So that's our only open, complete open area right there.
So we're now going to have disk calls and conflicting
with that program.
It actually does get a lot of people using it to the disk call.
It does.
Can you picture?
Can you?
So we're going to leave this part.
We can leave this for third grade.
Anybody have any other questions?
Thank you.
Okay.
Then this will stay on for third reading.
The next item.
A resolution authorizing and directing the city manager to apply for an
entertainment district in Guana's Recreation Park and declaring an emergency.
As we discussed last time, the legislation before you would allow us to apply for state
capital funding for a community amphitheater.
We would be requesting 750,000 of the 1.32 million required for the project.
We have also set aside additional funds for this project.
Should we receive the State Capital Funding?
As we've discussed with Council in the past,
this is part of a larger project,
which will allow us to create more or less an entertainment district
in the area of the former hotel site,
And in recreation park, so we are asking that are this item can go to our three readings,
but we are asking that it be passed at this time so we can submit the application for the project.
Does anyone have any questions for Doug or Kathy?
Does anyone willing to make a motion to suspend?
Mr.
Hatt. Mr. Jenkins. Yes. Mr. Abney. Yes.
Mr. Nallow. Yes. Mr. Schoop. Yes.
Luke Tudor. Mr.
Hatt.
Yes. Mr. Jenkins. Yes. Mr. Abney. Yes.
in all of?
And this is shoot.
Presolution adaptive.
Item eight.
A resolution authorizing and directing the city manager to advertise, take bids award
a contract for the underground construction of the overhead lines that are now under
the state route to bridge on Richmond Street for the bridge side.
re-vitalization program being done by ODOT, and in and around the City of Painesville and
declaring emergency.
Good night.
I'm here to represent the electric department of this resolution.
We were notified some time ago.
ODOT is planning to do roughly six bridges within this Lake County that we touch all
We provide lighting for the one that has our lines under it is also included in that
as the route two bridge that goes over Richmond and underneath the bridge our lines are
on poles that they're overhead going under the bridge and apparently the painters are comfortable
painting around our voltage so we worked or we tried to work around a couple
different scenarios where we would switch out and maybe they could do it
then but then what they do is the program is all about cleaning up the bridge
painting you're sanding and all the stuff so there'll be a super structure hung
underneath the bridge which puts the very very close to our lines and it's going
to be there for a while so the switching didn't work so they said how about if you
put the underground on the overhead line down the ground, which I would
probably have like you pay for that, and they said, okay.
It's done, Arctic.
So am I.
But apparently, in a situation where the state route is within
city limits and under certain conditions, per the ODOT policy manual,
the reimbursement is available to the city for having it done, and we went
around about that and we did see the paper work on it and we, so what we have to do is we
have to put the project out to bid and come back to them with an itemized cost and then they
will reimburse us for that construction. So basically that's what this is, it's allowing
us to go ahead and advertise and take bids to get the project cost for it and the only thing
is with the backlog of supply chain issues.
I also respectfully ask that they get past tonight
if you could suspend the rules.
Any questions, sir?
So are the lines going under the road or along the side of the road?
When they go underground?
Oh, when they're tearing up our brand new road?
No, no, we don't go along the side.
There's a nice section of grass that has no other utilities
in it, we're just going to trench across and put
the duck bank in and then all four circuits will go.
They'll drop down on the one side of the bridge and just go on the ground and pop up on the other side.
Yes, we're back.
Yep.
Are there all those things that they'll reimbursed as 100%?
Yep.
Costs of the project.
We just have to do some stuff with itemizing everything that we're doing and then.
But that's not problem.
Any other questions?
No.
Thank you, Mrs. Van.
Second.

Resolution adopted.
Thank you.
Item nine.
Okay.
A resolution adopting the safe travel plan under the guidelines of the State of Ohio State
Browse to school program and declaring an emergency.
Members of council.
I appreciate the opportunity to be in front of you.
If you remember last month I presented the draft plan on the school travel plan.
went through it. That same plan was also presented to the Painsville City of the Schools board last
actually last week received good feedback at both meetings and looking to adopt the final plan,
which will allow us to apply for funding, which will be the next piece of legislation.
Happy to answer any questions or concerns you may have regarding these school travel planning.
The funding that you request of the pay for the total project.
So, in the next piece of legislation, there's good news on that.
The initial in the memo, I wrote that the Rux Engineer's estimate was $475.
We're looking at the purchase of the knife, that estimate came down to $410,000.
So that's great as well.
The grant will cover up to 400,000, so we would be responsible for that 10,000, but I know
that there is some stormwater work that needs to be done on that site, so we could potentially
use those funds and that general funds, but that would be worked out once we receive all the funding.
This is Jenkins, Mr. Abney.
This is Janolo.
Mr. Foder.
Yes.
Mr. Hack.
Mr. Schuke.
Look to adopt.
Okay.
This is Jenkins.
Yes. Mr. Abney.
Mr. Janolo.
Mr. Foder.
Yes.
Mr. Hack.
Yes.
Mr. Schult.
Yes.
Resolution adopted.
Thank you.
So I would like to, and I asked Mr. Groen, he didn't think it was a problem.
I would like to maybe go back and revisit Resolution 3 simply because we asked Resolution
7 with a move to suspend and adopt with the same type of funding, and I don't see why
we need to leave that hanging.
Does anybody disagree?
Or can we get a move?
Do we need to reread that?
Yes.
Resolution 6.
and maybe only if people are willing to do that.
Resolution six on the splash pad.
We moved item seven, moved to a doc and a doc,
and it is the same funds on thinking,
why do we need to wait on that splash pad, can we?
It would be more efficient since it's the same funds. So can I get some, a motion to suspend or not?
I give a motion.
Can I get?
Should we read it?
Would we be back from the moment of silence?
Hold on, Mr. Gorillars. What's the number one speaker?
Six to five, six to go to the green hall.
Somebody makes a motion to the back of the green, consider that.
I'm like in the lower on that, then you can go back and read the center of the need for file.
So the first step will be to vote and reconsider that.
Item number six.
Our motion to reconsider item number six.
I'll second that.
Can you assist in all of you?
Mr. Foder.
Mr. Hack.
Mrs. Jenkins.
Now.
Mr. Abby.
Yes.
Mrs. Schult.
Yes.
Motion carried.
So now that it's open, can we get a motion to suspend?
Motion to suspend?
I can.
This is not a, yeah, Mr. Photo.
They can't carry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry.
Mr. Photo.
That first one can't carry.
You need to do it all six, if Katie would have noticed.
So we're dead in the water at this point, correct?
Because we only have six.
When you need it all six, then it'll just,
a real one in the Katie did not vote that way.
Oh, only five.
I think you'll need it all five.
I think he'd just be in some of the majority of the groups.
All right, fine.
So let's go ahead with the roll call for this suspension.
Okay, so we do it.
Okay, so.
I had a yes from Mr. Mr. Null, Mr. Foder.
No.
Mr. Hat.
Mrs. Jenkins.
Yes.
Mr. Abney.
Mr. Schupe.
Yes, motion does not carry.
Let's move forward.
Resolution 10, 11, we did the sidewalk.
So, no, no, we didn't number 10.
Oh no, 10, I'm sorry.
Resolution 10.
OK, we go for your seat.
OK.
A resolution of the rising direct in the city manager
to apply for and to accept the funding through the state
of Ohio's safe routes to school infrastructure program
to install a sidewalk on health, street, and declare an emergency.
Members of Council, I appreciate the opportunity
to discuss this application.
This project was highlighted as a priority project in this old trouble plan that you had
just adopted.
Again, the engineer's estimate that we put in the memo was 475,000 throughout the past
week.
We worked with purchased an iPhone.
That estimate has now dropped down to $410,000 and the grant will pay for up to 400,000
once we were by.
We did receive a letter of support from the WACO for this project.
the schools, the Painsville City, the local schools is in full support of this and we
made sure we submitted this project with their blessing as well in working in partnership
with them. Happy to answer any questions or concerns.
My question is, as far as responsible for the Epipin repair of the sidewalks,
I'm thinking about Elm Street and I'm thinking about how much green space is there.
would that be city responsibility? What's in front of the schools? Is that school responsibility?
Once it would be put in, it would be the property owners or responsibility.
Including schools, so I'm not even going to turn this responsibility.
And I believe the sidewalk already is in front of the school.
This would go, there's a little bit to the...
That's sort of kind of angles, but it would go from, there's a little bit,
right before the State Route 2 Bridge to the sidewalk ends.
You would pick up from there and go over the bridge in all the way to White House Point Drive.
So, and then we're going to be on the southern part of the streets or not any of the green space,
but only where houses are, that's where that side of up would be the solid head.
And city manager loses point.
It would be the responsibility of the homeowners.
But then the bridge, the sidewalk on the bridge, is our responsibility.
That's already there, and that's been the current means we'll continue on that.
This is Beth.
Mr. Adney.
This is Donald.
Mr. Foder.
Yes.
Mr. Hack.
Mrs. Jenkins.
Yes.
Mr. Shoe.
Yes.
Moved to a duck.
Second.
Mr. Adney.
Yes.
This is Donald.
Yes.
Mr. Foder.
Yes.
Mr. Hack.
Yes.
Mrs. Jenkins, yes, and Mrs. Schult.
Yes, resolution adopted.
Thank you very much.
And we're 11.
A resolution authorizing directing the city manager
to apply for accept and enter into a water pollution control fund,
WPCLF agreement for $1,100,000 on behalf of the city
of plans for planning, design, and or construction
of wastewater facilities,
Desis Nadeen, a dedicated repayment source for the loan
and declaring an emergency.
Yes, this is when Mr. Foder was talking about earlier.
We'll allow us to take out a loan
to repair the anaerobic digest.
Number one anaerobic digester cover
and the waste gas per anaerobic.
We start.
There you go.
There was a type of an interest rate
right now, it's 0.29%, again, if you want to be roughly 60,000 out of 10 years over 20 years.
This could go three weeks, but then at some point, if you guys want to work with this,
we're asking that you to work with such a bit of this project out as well.
So in this time, you know, this piece of legislation, if you guys will guess on,
would have been a piece of legislation,
one of them after they get Jordan down,
because it's all right.
Yes.
So from our finance meeting,
any what I remember is that we're asking us
is to be able to apply for the loan
and in that application process, it's possible.
We could not get it.
But it's likely we would get it.
Like we would get it, this is just applying to the loan,
And then you get back to console again to go out of it as far as.
OK, and then the other piece of it was that it takes time.
If you apply for this loan, it's not a quick turnaround.
Correct.
Right.
After we put it out, or it's going to take a couple of months before we can even put it out for a bit.
And then there's a schedule through the WPCLF that you have to follow after it's awarded.
or after the Bids are awarded, there's a schedule of timelines that I have to be followed.
And then for the sake of our residents, I know that we said that it would be a $60,000 payment per year for the city.
But the interest at $0.29 is very low.
I just want to make sure we brought all that up for Council's consideration, too.
Thank you, guys.
So, up to two, I would be more inclined to move this along, and when the legislation would come up to explain the project, more in depth, that would be in front of the community a little bit longer.
So, I heard you say that it's going to be a couple of months before we can even do the
bidding, right?
I mean, before you could even go out for debts, so would I heard you say?
And so when that goes out is there, if we pass this on suspension, do we have in your opinion,
the three reads to go, because we only have one, I don't know if this is going to roll
to summer, but in July we have only one meeting, so I just want to make sure you think about it in terms of
it.
You know, we could figure out a way we could lots of it and start to go to the meetings.
Okay, all we got to do is we would bring it to the council before we know about the moment.
is this case you gave it to a woman also that you know you've had a little bit of it.
Great.
And one more thing.
Yes, sorry.
And also, Andy, we talked about in the finance meeting we talked about the fact that we would,
we have looked for grants for this way.
We have not received grants yet.
We did use our new grant writer to look for this.
And these guys aren't done looking for grants.
Correct.
So even though this is happening, they're not finished with that.
And also, when I think Kevin did come to console and the administration told us that we
were meant to do this, we knew we were gonna do this, and we asked him to go along
about that new and cleanness.
Kevin has been planning to do this for years.
And he does that as small as he does as long as that side of the system.
I think I also remember that there's about a 200,000 difference from last year
to this year.
Yeah, there was a quick, the inflation just in the right year.
So, as long as you have your plenty of time to get Mr. Foder, his three reads.
Can we have a motion to move?
Mr. Spent.
Thank you.
Mr. Stunolo?
Yes.
Mr. Foder?
Yes.
Mr. Hack?
Yes.
Mrs. Jenkins?
Yes.
Mr. Abney?
Yes.
Mr. Schuke?
Yes.
Moved up?
Second.
Mr. Stunolo?
Yes.
Mr. Foder. Mr. Hack? Yes.
Mrs. Jenkins? Yes. Mr. Abney? Yes.
And Mrs. Schult. Yes.
Resolution adopted.
Item 12. Thank you.
A resolution requesting the county auditor to make advance payments on taxes and declaring an emergency.
It's just an annual piece of legislation that allows the city to get our money instead of the county
holding it in advance, basically the advance would get us probably 400 or $500,000.
In the city's bank account, a month or two months in advance before the county actually
sends it out, and then we're getting interest on it.
So I'm requesting that we wave the three readings to be in compliance with the Ohio
revised code.
Mr. Nullo. Yes. Mr. Foter.
Yes. Mr. Hat. Yes.
Mr. Jenkins. Yes. Mr. Ebony.
Yes. Mr. Shoo. Yes.
What's your doptop?
Second.
Mr. Nullo. Yes. Mr. Foter.
Yes. Mr. Hat. Yes.
Mr. Jenkins. Yes. Mr. Ebony.
Oh yes.
Resolution 13, a resolution authorized in directing the city manager to advertise for bids
and to enter into a contract including any and all ensuing change orders with the lowest
and best fitter for various upgrades to the state route 86 booster station and the current
What do you think?
Well, the, the, the, the, the, uh,
Rodney's sixth booster station is in poor repair, um, and, uh,
it was built in 1972, and it needs to be, and it pumps, and, uh,
drives that run the pumps, and the valves need to be replaced.
Um, so, um, we, uh, need to put it out for a bit, because we did,
quotes for last year, and unfortunately, we couldn't break it down,
under $50,000 for individual parts realistically.
So we have to put it up for the basic,
just for the pumps and the VFDs
and installation is about 90,000.
And then there's a few other things like that door,
which doesn't currently work.
Anybody have any questions?
All right.
I should not have any questions.
Any questions?
It's a person that wasn't welcome.
Yeah, they're, I mean, the recommendations, that's all I'm just curious.
I'm familiar with that recommendation being pre-historic.
Yeah.
So I'm thinking we got some recommendations with the whole age.
So I'm just wanting to do this recommendation.
Yes.
Actually, now I'm different.
Yes, they did.
I mean, they provided it a recommendation as to what we needed to be done.
With that hump station, initially, they recommended breaking in and pieces and doing pieces of it.
But we weren't able to do that, so that's why we're back because it has to be bid as an entire project.
Because no single piece would be under the threshold of 50,000, so it would need to be bid out anyhow.
So, their recommendation was to us that if we could do it without having to bid it out,
then that might be a way to pursue it, however, because the electrical is over 50,000,
or the pumps are over 50,000, it needs to be bid out as one project.
So, we will work with Burgess and Naples to do the RFP or to develop the RFP so that we can
did the project out and the total budget 750,000 and their proposal I believe was 14,400 for
the, you know, writing up the proposal of a sign and bidding it out.
Do we have any new information that will come out in the next three readings or is this, is it just, you know,
do you need this right away? Or is this, can this go three reads?
Um, this can go three ratings, I mean, it's been all the long time, but I mean, are we gonna
get a new affirmation in the next three ratings?
Um, no.
Obviously with regards...
To the three reads, if council is willing to wave it, it would allow us to move forward with the RFP, with
Burgess and Nipel, and bid it out sooner than later. Typically, when we bid out projects
earlier, we tend to get better prices because contractors have not bid on other projects.
So, we'd like to try and get these out as soon as possible.
Who does this spend?
Second,
Mr. Fodor,
Mr. Fodor.
Oh, I'm sorry.
I know.
I would say, well,
yes.
Mr. Hack?
Yes.
Mrs. Jenkins, yes.
Mr. Abbey.
Yes.
Mrs. Danolo?
Yes.
Mr. Schuke.
No.
Move to adopt.
No.
No, he said no.
I can't do it, Paul.
We move to Secondary.
So, item 14,
a resolution authorizing and directing the city manager to enter into a memorandum
of understanding with the international brotherhood, electrical workers, IBE, EW, and declare
an emergency.
So, Tando, tag team.
So what we've done is we've achieved an agreement between the city and the IBW on the
memorandum understanding for the first class alignment and we're just seeking your permission to allow us to sign it.
Do you have anything to add?
Okay.
Any questions for Chris and Joke?
We would ask for the suspension so that we can put the add out.
Does anyone have any questions?
Move to suspend.
Mr. Hack.
Yes.
Mrs. Jenkins.
Mr. Abbey.
Mrs. DeNolo.
Mr. Foder.
Yes.
Mrs. Schuke.
Yes.
Move to the second.
Mr. Hack.
Yes.
Mrs. Jenkins.
Mr. Abbey.
Yes.
Mrs. DeNolo.
Mr. Foder.

Mrs. Schuke.

resolution adopted.
We have no unfinished business. We have no new business. We have no
departmental presentations. We will now have administrative reports, law directors,
comments from
the city manager.
Lake your college president Brian Posler had called and informed me over the weekend
At Lake Eary College, finalized the agreement with renewed partners and they will be moving
forward with the student housing in the former Chase Bank building with regards to capital
funding.
We continue to move forward and request the letters of support from various stakeholders throughout
the community.
We will obtain those letters and submit those with the application.
Those letters are due back on March 16th and the application is due for state capital funding on March 18th.
Again, we have been working with our Senator Senator Hugo and also Senator Serino.
And we have talked with representative Dan Troy, so we are trying to get a firm commitment
from them that they will support the project.
So if you happen to talk to them, please mention that to them so that we can hopefully
get this project submitted and get their support at the state level.
We did our commissioner hammer check called late last week, and informed us that, no, we would be receiving 375,000 for a TLCI grant through NOACA.
This funding is for the streetscape improvements in front of Victoria Place.
So we had originally applied for 475, but this was the largest award that they provided to any community.
So that will allow us to make those streetscape improvements in front of the, in front of Victoria Place.
The engineering department went out for bid for a tree removal for the sidewalk program.
They awarded the bid in the amount of $22,250 and the company that received the award
is moving forward and they should complete the work by February 25th.
Just want to say thank you to the electric distribution department.
As council member may remember, when we had the big storm, it took down some trees along the river,
need to thank electric distribution. I mean, they were out nearly 24 hours, making repairs in the cold weather and the rain and the snow,
to make sure that people got their electric back up an arm on.
having lived in an area where first energy had served me in situations like that you could be out for days or weeks.
So certainly want to express our gratitude to the electric distribution department for all their hard work.
They were able to get people on.
I think within 18 hours roughly and we worked very closely with Riverside schools since they
were also out so they were actually able to have the students come back to school the following
day.
So I just want to thank them.
With regards to events, Reverend Coffee's Street Education ceremony will be Saturday March
at noon. We will get you the exact location of that. The state of the city breakfast will be
Tuesday, March 10th from 8 to 930 and the Payneville Egg Hunt will be Saturday, April 9th at 10 a.m.
in the Payneville Square or at Veterans Park. And that's all I have with this time.
Clerk of Council. Our next regular council meeting will be held on Monday, March 7th at 730.
That's all.
Closing comments, Derek?
I would like to remind the residents that we had this fall going on on our side.
But snow will be continuous to maybe pick up tracks and stuff like the R and also remember that.
City's going to be as good as this residence-wise.
That put that forth from your hands.
Just another thing that we could do is homework.
You can help them out with the weather.
And I want to thank all of you as departments.
I see guys all out and about a bunch of different things.
She might attack white school and crazy get fixed real fast.
That seems more of a race going on in menor, full climbers, so I see a lot of them.
All there is different departments and ability, so yeah, that's all I have.
Thank you.
Paul?
All right.
Okay.
I just want to do the things for electric distribution, department, and all the work that they did to get our residents back up and running.
And also think our residents for the patients through the process, I know it's called whether it's hard to be without your electric and your utility's going.
So thank them for that. Also, one of the thank our staff members that attended tonight's meeting and all of the information you provide to us and how well you keep us informed, very grateful for that.
I know the residents are enjoying the warm weather, watch out for kids, I had my little granddaughter out on her bike yesterday, it was a lot of fun, but people aren't used to watching for that.
And then the last thing I want to say is kind of just, you know, in lines with what Mr. Ebony said, and that is just that I saw, especially like the road patching going on, not especially as if that's bigger than anything else.
But we just had the thought and they're already outpatching and and that just really shows a commitment to the community and a dedication that I really appreciate it was when I saw the guys it was very close to dark and they had their fluorescence on and I was really grateful that they were out of it.
So thank you all very much.
Just I wanted to comment to council in terms of the road and fire levies, you know, I know that
Jim said we have until August to get the language on the ballot but there's no reason
we can't do that sooner than later if council fills that it's the route that they want
to go.
And then I just wanted to bring up to the administration two things that I saw in downtown
on my way in Main Street and State Street are currently flashing.
I know that I saw city workers working at that station right there, but I don't know if that
was an intentional thing, but just to be aware.
And then also it seems that we have several lights out in front of Victoria Plays and it
that whole corner very dark, and since that is still utilized in the evenings and
subways located there, that's something that we can take a look at. I would
appreciate it.
Oh, it also, we had a birthday party this weekend at Morris Avenue
Community Center, and I just wanted to share how wonderful the facility looks,
how great everything is, and just how much I appreciated having that resource
available to us. We ended up making a last minute change in location and I was very lucky
to think of Mars Avenue and it was available and it works out perfectly.
That's it. Thanks,
You know, it is a pop hole season out there. So, you know, let's say they talk about driving
through water that you see. You know, you also want to be careful about driving to spots
kind of road that appears that there's water because there are
hot bowls and even what are people getting out there and putting coal
patch. The coal patch was in last, we have freezes and doors, snow
plows going to come by and probably pick a lot of that stuff up. If you do
have a hole or something, because sitting on, let them know, I'm sure
they'll get somebody out there as soon as they can to put some patch in there.
Also, in my house, the speaking of painful winter vision showed up and there's an excellent information near about our ice rescue team as well as if you want to see two of the city employees responsible for overseeing and managing the daily operations of the public works department.
You can see Ryan and Jared. They have a picture of them there. They're also pretty responsible for snow and things of that nation.
It also has interesting things about summer camp registration that's open in February.
It talks about spring break and there's a welcome information here.
If you can, I'm probably, instead of, you know, putting in a circular file right away, maybe actually reading it.
It will be good information to know.
And that's all I got.
I have nothing at this time.
So can I have a motion to go into executive session?
I do make a motion to go into executive session.
Executive session being held in accordance with ORC,
1-2-1-2-2-6-8.
