The city has taken quarterly finished-water samples and maintains a public graph on its website that shows each sampling result. Staff said only PFOS (one of six regulated PFAS analytes discussed) remains above the proposed limit; the other five constituents were not detected above concern thresholds.

Staff said the city is reducing run time for the highest‑concentration groundwater source, Well 6, and is operating it at the minimum required cycle so that finished-water concentrations remain lower than they would be if all wells ran at full capacity. The three wells reported concentrations of roughly low‑teens to the thirties parts per trillion in groundwater; staff said limiting the higher‑concentration well’s use reduces finished‑water PFOS.

The city has applied for a $2,000,000 Water Supply Revolving Loan Account (WSRLA) grant through Ohio EPA to fund design work; staff said they expect to hear funding decisions in June or July and that the city has answered multiple rounds of Ohio EPA comments on its application materials.

The council received the update as informational; no formal action was required. Staff emphasized they will continue quarterly sampling and will post results online as they are available.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Loveland, Ohio City Council Meeting April 22, 2025","oneSentenceSummary","City staff reported quarterly PFAS sampling results showing finished-water PFOS at about 14 parts per trillion, described steps to limit use of the highest‑concentration well, and said the city has applied for a $2 million WSRLA design grant with Ohio EPA; final funding decisions expected in June or July.","taxTitle","Loveland City Council, Loveland City, Clermont County, Ohio","taxId",70677,"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},6264645,"Loveland accepts low bid for 2025 road program; scope to be adjusted to $800,000 budget",555,2286000,2841000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3096064-24f68bdc58cbd4a3351e7696b6316978&start=2286&end=2841","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3096064-24f68bdc58cbd4a3351e7696b6316978/thumbnail_2286000.jpg","/articles/6264645/Ohio/Loveland-accepts-low-bid-for-2025-road-program-scope-to-be-adjusted-to-800000-budget","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6264645-23f0ea914c5a8a76281f27c83dec690b/orig.mp4?Expires=1770818184&Signature=Mk6AT8PnrW4mSYGHzz0fA068pklhUnGyPw0hOXnKktf9Cj~cFk8mbQ1i~BNw1ecEqnn3v412gsMOEBK6yyK24giPIn-Sskr8eAn43bXc8nICfAn46R1UZg5GvFdCeXqXfBnxWY0MCfsZIp9Pbe2z17vRPkxwJaFk~eKaBex3UWys0X8ZVP2sZvvyvHM4nxuVAU~SR-Ad-LO6gUDZULp-xCxFDjsYzIUBc-l9WcUAAd4wTfONAzxkm5UXWS678sNfIqRLowoJF-vi0DSpBrPYdKIvGK8RsTV~Z1jCssusxYnf-Qkj~d-fH20TPktVYXS-E0tv9gLLo7bo3F1dMOmHbg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","City staff recommended awarding the 2025 annual road program contract to JK Mirror, the low bidder, and the Loveland City Council approved a resolution on April 25 allowing the city manager to execute the contract and proceed with an up‑to‑$800,000 budgeted scope.

City Engineer Kelsey Richards reported the low bid from JK Mirror was $1,183,840; the other bidders were Naira Paving, Barrett Paving Materials, and John R. Jurgensen Company. Richards and staff explained all bids exceeded the $800,000 budget but recommended awarding to the low bidder and then selecting which line items to use so the city can stay within the budgeted total.

Staff said the annual program has reduced deferred resurfacing since 2018: approximately 65 lane miles had not been paved within 10 years in 2018; the current figure is roughly 25 lane miles not paved in the previous 10 years. Councilmembers asked what $800,000 will buy; staff said specific roads had not yet been selected and the exact lane‑mile coverage would be determined once the city and contractor review the bid line items.

Council discussed prior projects that included paving (for example, East Loveland work and Cherokee project items) and noted the city will attempt to maintain an ongoing pavement budget at or above $800,000. Staff said if the city contracts with JK Mirror for 2025, the unit prices would carry into a potential 2026 renewal at the same rates if the council chose to exercise that option.

Council adopted the resolution authorizing the contract process by roll call (resolution number not specified in the transcript) by a 7–0 vote. Staff will return to the council with the list of road sections selected for repair under the $800,000 budget once scope decisions are finalized.","Council received bid results for the 2025 annual road program and approved a resolution allowing staff to move forward with a contract using the low bidder while limiting city spending to the $800,000 budgeted scope; exact roads to be repaved will be selected after contract execution.",{"_33":89,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":90,"_41":91,"_43":92,"_45":93,"_47":94,"_49":95,"_51":96,"_53":97,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":98,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":99,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6264650,"Loveland to partner with U.S. Army Corps on $22.3 million Riverside Drive stabilization project; city to fund design share now",821,2839000,3660000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3096064-24f68bdc58cbd4a3351e7696b6316978&start=2839&end=3660","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3096064-24f68bdc58cbd4a3351e7696b6316978/thumbnail_2839000.jpg","/articles/6264650/Ohio/Loveland-to-partner-with-US-Army-Corps-on-223-million-Riverside-Drive-stabilization-project-city-to-fund-design-share-now","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6264650-d1e844cf22da015a85c2c5094ef8449a/orig.mp4?Expires=1770818184&Signature=mMoJrvAe3y5hUP4ejP5hJfAR02cTbae1mkuJGM9DcR-2-cSY6scPNYhS302ryspkAURA3zKhN9jrKbAfpgbnZ2-7Y8oiQA-j~L1306ExtqX7jDrcalA0Gh8xFnqVpM2H3Tq1sxuOCZYGdp0SSLdcQLpribRlWV8M72XbPUPVVA4XGR5Ol8s7YHHKJ9bAOtTadTpQ~Wy5S8NwZgg8Z9ntVTWsy42fL-15otulIVZ5Q2yHWL1hxyPJfFVIZPdtkFM9R6ifw8FlYDRDdaukN6~6EePZ-uFJeXqPmO34OgWHi7S4swvWNTtKPTelPOzRDp5Sh5lRo1DJqI3UFwl~yCxKyw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Loveland City Council on April 25 unanimously authorized a project partnership agreement with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers to design and construct an emergency stream-bank stabilization project along Riverside Drive, committing the city to an upfront design payment of $418,250.

Assistant City Manager Chris Winich told council the Corps completed a detailed project report that considered six alternatives and recommended a vegetative riprap combined with shot rock as the most cost-effective option. The full project estimate is $22,271,000; the Corps would fund 65% and the city 35%. The council voted 7–0 to adopt the agreement (Resolution 41) to move into the Corps-led design phase.

Winich said the Corps will perform design work under a 65/35 cost split and that the city is expected to front the design funds; the city will receive monthly reports from the Corps and any unused design funds will be rolled into construction costs. Staff said the Corps’ estimate is conservative and that the city expects actual costs to be lower when final pricing is available.

The Corps’ geotechnical work identified three primary failing areas within the corridor (roughly from the railroad tracks to the city limits). Staff said some sanitary sewer infrastructure running through the slope is compromised and will be upgraded as part of the work. Temporary asphalt repairs will be made as needed before construction.

City staff said they will pursue state and county funding — including Ohio Public Works Commission (OPWC) funding, county road-fund sources, and other grants such as Issue 2 — to offset construction costs. Winich warned the schedule is tight: the Corps estimates a 12-month design period, and OPWC submittal deadlines (typically August for the following fiscal cycle) will require close coordination.

Council members asked whether the city will have to front construction funds; staff replied yes and said that securing construction funding remains a future step once the design is complete.

Resolution 41 was adopted 7–0. Council directed staff to proceed with the Corps’ design, track monthly design invoices, and continue pursuing grant funding for construction.","Council approved a project partnership agreement committing the city to the design phase of a riverbank stabilization effort along Riverside Drive; the full estimated project cost is $22,271,000 with the city's share 35% and an immediate design commitment of $418,250.",{"_33":101,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":102,"_41":103,"_43":104,"_45":105,"_47":106,"_49":107,"_51":108,"_53":109,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":110,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":111,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6264656,"Loveland council approves removal of deteriorating Chestnut Street church, plans commemorative monument",694,1583000,2277000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3096064-24f68bdc58cbd4a3351e7696b6316978&start=1583&end=2277","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3096064-24f68bdc58cbd4a3351e7696b6316978/thumbnail_1583000.jpg","/articles/6264656/Ohio/Loveland-council-approves-removal-of-deteriorating-Chestnut-Street-church-plans-commemorative-monument","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6264656-2ad93fd9276301e9c6193408602d4e39/orig.mp4?Expires=1770818184&Signature=dbl~J1kqapDethk63896UT2PZXSQsK542pa~uJfekR3pATS7wtg-xq62A6RwkvbFKoFsG7cGA5GYh0taa~o8HmamX3JvKB4LLJHi-~G928fDOOrEyj48qrsysbflDfYR6CqT3EbDGgLw~LI~CnTCbVTHEsrKvdhCOHm95jkoPiyJVjJdQzBg-Y1zcDIqdAzkDF-jJDhrDBE0kgHBFMO6k0CehT8VUeT6lWubh8QQ84icYez87fJFN2e7dkTyARj5piWPNi9hJF~WcgqOv3iPDrr6rkhRGwRXqYJYeOXCDJfgCfWnz6KNjFnzJextkbRXjyyysP4rPohkBmyEYVIukg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Loveland City Council on April 25 voted 7–0 to authorize an agreement with Citywide Remediation to remove the deteriorating Chestnut Street church at 225 Chestnut Street and preserve stone from the original foundation for a commemorative monument.

City Manager Dave Kennedy told council the south foundation wall had collapsed and that unauthorized access had increased, creating public-safety and maintenance concerns that exceeded the city manager’s $15,000 spending limit and required council approval. Kennedy said asbestos is being removed before demolition and the city will stockpile original foundation stones to use in a monument that commemorates the building’s history.

The action followed extended remarks from council members who described repeated efforts to save the structure over many years and who said structural and safety problems left removal as the only viable option. Councilmember John Hart and others praised the proposed monument and preservation of stone as a way to acknowledge the congregation’s role in the city’s history.

Councilmembers also noted a clerical address discrepancy in the paperwork; staff confirmed the contract and resolution reference 225 Chestnut Street (not 299 Chestnut as appeared in one document). Kennedy said staff and historic preservation partners, including representatives from Historic Loveland, are finalizing the monument design and wording.

The resolution authorized the city manager to execute an agreement with the remediation contractor and directed staff to proceed with asbestos abatement followed by demolition and stone preservation. No construction or reuse plan for the larger Chestnut property was decided at the meeting.

Mayor Kathy Bailey and councilmembers voted unanimously to adopt Resolution 39 authorizing the contract. Kennedy said the city will return to council with plans for the monument once design details are complete.

The record shows council evaluated preservation options and consulted with local historic preservation stakeholders, but the city concluded the structure’s condition and public-safety risk require removal now rather than further rehabilitation efforts.","The Loveland City Council unanimously authorized a contract to remove the deteriorating Chestnut Street church at 225 Chestnut Street, preserve original foundation stone, and develop a commemorative monument; asbestos removal precedes demolition.","actionData","errors"]
