Under the city code cited in the meeting, privately installed improvements in the right‑of‑way are placed “at the owner's risk” and the city is not required to repair them if they are damaged during city utility or maintenance work.

Staff said that despite the code, the city has historically repaired a number of these systems after resurfacing work and presented three years of repair counts and costs to illustrate the impact. The presenter said the city assumed roughly 40 repairs per year after resurfacing projects. Reported repair totals were: 2022 — 28 repairs at $50 each (~$1,400); 2023 — 24 repairs (approx. $1,600); 2024 — 164 repairs at $75 each (~$12,300). Staff said that from 2022–2024 they replaced 216 sprinklers at a total cost of about $15,332.

Staff framed the choices as twofold: follow the city code and stop repairing private fixtures in the right‑of‑way, or amend the code to authorize repairs and continue the current practice. Several council members and staff emphasized the need for clearer public engagement and pre‑construction notices to homeowners on resurfacing projects so property owners understand the risks. Staff described plans for a construction notice to be mailed before resurfacing begins, and said the city is building GIS and capital projects tools to display project status and outreach materials.

Committee members raised practical considerations should the council choose to change the policy: whether to grandfather existing systems, whether to cap amounts the city would cover, the potential for complex disputes over warranty and brand choices, and that a broader change could extend beyond sprinklers to other private improvements placed in the right‑of‑way. A participant with municipal experience recommended clear preconstruction handouts telling homeowners to mark private infrastructure and explaining the city’s policy.

Council consensus at the meeting was to let the issue “marinate” and continue discussion at a future meeting rather than change policy immediately. Staff recommended either bringing code language to reflect the current practice or, alternatively, enforcing the existing code and increasing preconstruction engagement. No ordinance change was made at this meeting; the item was tabled for follow‑up.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Perrysburg OH, Service Committee- Feb 26, 2025","oneSentenceSummary","Staff told the committee the city has been repairing private irrigation systems damaged during resurfacing even though city code places such improvements in the right‑of‑way at the owner's risk.","taxTitle","Perrysburg Board & Committees, Perrysburg, Wood County, Ohio","taxId",76620,"location","Ohio","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":77,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":78,"_41":79,"_43":80,"_45":81,"_47":82,"_49":83,"_51":84,"_53":85,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":86,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":87,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6107639,"Speed‑study results: ODOT recommends 45 mph for Echo Junction corridor; city weighing matching township request",274,981000,1255000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2772934-b783aa176ec4e8e546f381e23db364f9&start=981&end=1255","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2772934-b783aa176ec4e8e546f381e23db364f9/thumbnail_981000.jpg","/articles/6107639/Ohio/Speedstudy-results-ODOT-recommends-45-mph-for-Echo-Junction-corridor-city-weighing-matching-township-request","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6107639-def947507fe5c6705aed47c766c804e3/orig.mp4?Expires=1771148780&Signature=PAwVPMmXqwuCRJz0T7A8iMAM~2KyWz6dWY2PxgEQOV8J5HtvXKkSA7NFhu176Z5DPWtSOL~JGjOczSDmlsnA~e6q82rkFgRBBf~ITy3lsS-grVZgwWWGrE3n5IGtTW3UeaHdAmdERexskV3dzVesFG~BfAfp6UtEzS6YrKfGwpV38JQkGmvmDIQKWZmV-V5qreLxdG4jiuMHe5snYyGI8PhY7kr9UPHYJ4RhUK52deOrUwpE~6YEcoH4~mL2sC2KrGOxFdbixbX9Y~ZL-Ga2f6rSDuvscDwjuTRl5AE8cjzHclP3drlEC~d7RnFmbsk4J54j9e1q0R5IpA-uNXx2QA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","City staff briefed the committee on a speed‑limit review for Echo Junction Road after a resident complaint that motorists were traveling 50–55 mph. Engineering data gathered over multiple studies produced different calculated speeds over the years; staff said that ODOT's 2024 analysis recommended a 45 mph limit for the corridor.

The matter is significant because the roadway currently carries inconsistent posted limits: staff said the township portion is posted at 55 mph while the city portion is posted at 35 mph under the city's revised code, creating a confusing situation for motorists and law enforcement.

A staff member summarized the history: a 2014 township study calculated an appropriate limit near 53 mph but the posting remained at 55; a 2015 update calculated 49 mph; and ODOT’s 2024 review recommended 45 mph. The speaker said the township recently passed legislation asking ODOT to set the township stretch to 45 mph and that the city’s safety committee voted 3‑0 to forward legislation recommending the city’s section also be set to 45 mph so the corridor is consistent.

Staff explained how ODOT determines appropriate limits: they collect spot speeds, examine lane and shoulder widths, distance to roadside obstacles (poles), and test‑drive the corridor; the Federal Highway Administration software then generates a recommended limit. Staff noted ODOT also reviews crash history in its work, though the presenter said he did not have exact crash counts at the meeting.

Committee members raised operational concerns such as close utility poles and the potential for future widening or development that could change roadway geometry; staff said these factors are considered in the study. No formal change to city signage was ordered at this meeting; staff said they will pursue legislation to request the city post 45 mph on its portion to match the township and the ODOT recommendation and will proceed through the normal legislative process.","Following resident complaints, traffic counts and ODOT analysis recommended a 45 mph limit for Echo Junction Road; staff told the committee that the township has requested the change and the city’s safety committee voted to forward legislation recommending the city post 45 mph to make the corridor consistent.",{"_33":89,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":90,"_41":91,"_43":92,"_45":92,"_47":93,"_49":94,"_51":95,"_53":96,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":97,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":98,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6107643,"Perrysburg staff propose reroute of refuse collection to rebalance routes and reduce overtime",0,1948000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2772934-b783aa176ec4e8e546f381e23db364f9&start=1948&end=1948","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2772934-b783aa176ec4e8e546f381e23db364f9/thumbnail_1948000.jpg","/articles/6107643/Ohio/Perrysburg-staff-propose-reroute-of-refuse-collection-to-rebalance-routes-and-reduce-overtime","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6107643-17ebdfdc9372bfcf6af85825c3185b35/orig.mp4?Expires=1771148780&Signature=ci9Orvd~ocWY0l3ju0mmlvWvWFg0EAu7uTEYKZGAXmF-79eX4Xmr4PCOzMcNGOtedq9ZAbyPq9sgo8HUrjqDqFRVfoIwsdpA~FlRTpNQUCf1WCLbbRC-LrfA1RelJ7oGL7A79Oh8TZeuqJXeX3rM66yHJIxOcKs3EMFDt02MdFuXh2bCKgageXBCVp6O1qntV4jSTcZCiBduL-l88TEIqOqHk31RD59MWHRoQd5AYXyl7OhdTQoXOaK8Y80vJCIOBRBpyfkApDp3u0VSWNbZnX~wKUYUJXNwRVoscygZtTln3KUk-2QDzCUmehTVA1zeuaFGZEBsFmixXdI0ZKCUAQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","City public‑works staff presented a proposed reroute of refuse collection routes on Feb. 26 to rebalance daily workloads after 15 years without a major change. The plan would reassign service days for several blocks to reflect growth on the west side of town and to reduce overtime during heavy seasonal weeks.

The plan matters because uneven route lengths and new subdivisions have increased travel time and occasional overtime for crews. Staff said the reroute is intended to distribute daily workload more evenly and to plan for anticipated future development.

Rob (staff member) introduced the refuse team and said, “The last time the city's rerouted our refuse route has been, believe it or not, 15 years ago.” Ron Isaacson, identified in the meeting as deputy director, and Greg Coeur, described as the operations manager who oversees refuse, and Dan Hayes, the refuse foreman, were present to answer technical questions. Hayes was credited with much of the route work and will support driver-level implementation.

Staff said the change will affect a limited number of households immediately: they reported “16 total homes” would be impacted by the specific swaps described in the packet. Staff gave a block-level summary of day changes, including 91 addresses moving from Tuesday to Thursday, 183 from Wednesday to Tuesday, 255 from Wednesday to Thursday, 96 from Wednesday to Friday, and 391 from Thursday to Wednesday. They also presented the rebalanced daily totals as 1,082 households on Monday, 1,809 on Tuesday, 2,119 on Wednesday, 1,804 on Thursday and 1,357 on Friday.

Staff described operational constraints that shape the balance: longer drive times on the west side where houses are more widely spaced, scheduled truck “regen” and servicing that is typically done on Mondays, and landfill hours that make Friday routes lighter and sometimes become Saturday work when holidays shift schedules. Staff told the committee they expect future growth—three subdivisions were highlighted on maps—and that as Wednesday’s load grows they may carve off parts of Wednesday to become Friday routes over a multi‑year horizon.

To communicate the change, staff proposed a phased outreach campaign: two notices in the local paper on March 12 and March 26, a personalized mailed letter to every impacted household (to be sent March 4 in the plan described), social media and website posts, sticker tags on residents’ totes the week of March 31–April 4, and a formal launch on April 7. Staff said they will staff extra drivers for the first weeks after the launch and ask residents who miss their new pickup day to call the office; the crews plan limited back‑checks for missed pickups in the immediate transition period.

Committee members suggested extra steps such as making the mailed envelope visually distinct, adding a sticker to the envelope itself and allowing neighbors to help spread the word. Staff said they expect to monitor and adjust staffing for a few weeks after April 7 and that the full transition to any additional Friday capacity will occur over years as development warrants.

The committee received the presentation and asked questions; no formal motion was recorded at this meeting. Staff said they would proceed with the outreach schedule and return if further committee action is required.","City staff outlined a proposed reroute of refuse pickup to reflect west-side growth, saying 16 specific homes would change service days and the city will run an outreach campaign before an April 7 launch.",{"_33":100,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":101,"_41":102,"_43":91,"_45":103,"_47":104,"_49":105,"_51":106,"_53":107,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":108,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":109,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6107625,"Committee approves Jan. 22 minutes with date correction",31,31000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2772934-b783aa176ec4e8e546f381e23db364f9&start=0&end=31","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2772934-b783aa176ec4e8e546f381e23db364f9/thumbnail_0.jpg","/articles/6107625/Ohio/Committee-approves-Jan-22-minutes-with-date-correction","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6107625-6d94f7e5f80ef53f6e51dc2c3f393108/orig.mp4?Expires=1771148780&Signature=j6-fsqW00Ox1F5wx0jCGxN7MAXv8idTfG-OT~MNvIDgXauaoGcJkSM6rcR8d2tosbyDB0BPpTblFxllI5KQKe4QoswJacvpuwAMdrthlUimThzj2QmMBvzms-bkb9GbcsdoMDl6P7rDemfvpoh4RvqzemepsLd4ujQq1z-QYP9NvOyvN~u0f3wqQoSkbV~crcZtwXsZrtrR5--CdprWh9aHYRH6TWppGswc1X8u0p3HBebGpf7Kkd5bPmfHLCiaBoBn50O-NXmgrDk167kOPvTKLnhhdOrPitqLn5xgHu8ouu0j9EDwCMvhskbkc8GktoCYXUNKc0yZ7ZhQUOC1Gxg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Member Stearns moved to approve the Jan. 22 meeting minutes with one correction: change the date referenced for a service‑committee meeting from Feb. 19 to Feb. 26.

The project will run from Diamond (Indian Avenue area) and staff said design is nearly complete but the formal grant agreement had not been issued until recently.

The grant agreement would lock in who pays a percentage of construction costs up to the grant cap, establish reimbursement and inspection procedures, and identify city and ODOT contacts for the project. Staff said the agreement includes options for how inspection costs will be reimbursed and other administrative details common to state and federal grants.

Staff noted a property‑access issue near the Fifth Third Bank/Dunkin’ Donuts area where an additional easement is required because the existing road cross‑section does not accommodate the path within the current right‑of‑way. Staff said the city’s right‑of‑way predates the railroad in parts of the corridor, which simplified other sections. Final project details, including easements and driveway adjustments, are being resolved before construction.

A committee member asked whether railroad or utility issues remained; staff said the major outstanding item for this segment is an additional easement near the bank and that other right‑of‑way issues have been resolved. Councilors present said they had no objections and staff requested authority for the mayor to sign the grant agreement to lock in funding terms and proceed toward bidding and construction.","City staff said the Ohio Department of Transportation has delivered the grant agreement for a multi‑use path applied for in 2021; plans are nearly complete and council authorized the mayor to sign the agreement so the project can proceed to bidding and construction planning.","actionData","errors"]
