Legislation scheduled for discussion
Public & Industrial Improvements:
B-26: An ordinance authorizing the director of public service to enter into a contract or contracts, without competitive bidding, with Hach Company for the purchase of two in-line manganese meters for the Water Treatment Plant. Russ Kring, water department superintendent, presented this legislation to the committee. The meters will be placed in both filter housings and will automate what is a manual process performed by staff every two hours or so. The manufacturer will provide calibration and periodic maintenance. Total cost will be $78,859 and it was part of the 2025 budget. The committee voted to bring this out before full council April 28.
B-27: An ordinance authorizing the parks and recreation board to enter into a contract or contracts, without competitive bidding, with Ohio Drilling Company for inspections, maintenance, and repair of the water wells at Brookledge Golf Club. Parks Director Sara Kline explained the irrigation system at the city golf course is due for maintenance and this two-year project will cost the parks department $125k per year to re-drill the wells that provide water to the golf course. It has been 17 years since this was last done and according to Kline the drilling will not affect the normal operation of the golf course. The committee voted to bring this out before full council April 28.
Public Affairs:
B-28: An ordinance amending the Traffic Control File. Chief Norfolk presented the findings of the traffic committee March 31 meeting. The legislation will create a no parking zone from 2460 Berk Street to the intersection of Berk Street and Fourth Street. Councilman Gary DeRemer was also present at that meeting and cited concerns that combining the curve and hill on that part of the street are making it difficult for cars to pass. Fire trucks and sanitation trucks are also having difficulty. The committee voted to bring this out before full council April 28.
