Earlier in the meeting the Water and Utilities chair reported the committee met before council and flagged an upcoming agenda item related to water tap-in fees that will be brought to council for action. The committee indicated an item \"related to water tap-in fees\" will be forthcoming; no fee amounts or ordinance language were presented at the June 9 meeting.

Patton said all property owners in the project area have been notified by mail and that traffic will be maintained, with smaller vehicles detoured when needed.

Parks and Recreation Director Worley described demolition and the installation of new tile flooring, shower and restroom partitions as the principal scope and estimated the cost at $150,000, to be paid by the rec center.

Worley said the project is intended to \"improve aesthetics, cleanliness, and align with branding throughout the building.\" Worley also advised that locker rooms will be under construction from July 7 through Aug. 8; patrons may use the physical-education locker rooms connected to the pool during that period.

Councilman Shields announced he would abstain from the vote because the project involves his employer. The roll call on the ordinance showed the measure adopted; the record indicates Shields abstained and the ordinance passed. The ordinance authorizes the expenditure to Medina City Schools and directs the finance department to process the purchase order accordingly.

Next steps: Parks and Recreation will coordinate construction scheduling and patron notices; finance will process the approved purchase order.","Council passed an ordinance authorizing Medina City Schools to renovate the rec center main locker rooms at an estimated cost of $150,000 paid by the rec center; Councilman Shields abstained because the project involves his employer.",{"_33":100,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":101,"_41":102,"_43":103,"_45":104,"_46":105,"_48":106,"_50":107,"_52":108,"_54":55,"_56":57,"_58":109,"_60":61,"_62":63,"_64":110,"_66":67,"_68":69,"_70":71,"_72":73,"_74":73},6208141,"Council approves partnership to apply for state CHIP housing grant with emergency clause",110,950000,1060000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3749679-38e4b7cd3073bb5e3d6133e6b36e9496&start=950&end=1060","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3749679-38e4b7cd3073bb5e3d6133e6b36e9496/thumbnail_950000.jpg","/articles/6208141/Ohio/Council-approves-partnership-to-apply-for-state-CHIP-housing-grant-with-emergency-clause","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6208141-ca469f791e07ee4c56722ce0b8127ad4/orig.mp4?Expires=1771186719&Signature=GMjf~wDM37NWjMjcgnsxkXI7LpJpHYS6TQikseTXQujqK0SC8aAnJioeNjc1NoPHZnBZXBVxbOPghddtQJoy~bZ1owHqJBmXYPIUfisXTWFiIH0OzF5Nr1EVaIxcu3uFAQ5OTUFntxqX-AHbzqZvqro4HfrSg9yCHYvh4jYd7-tCAAZjCC9~QQ9aQTvXvZNXTtLGtnI9VHAfyQ-q1I2uY9CbcyT9u-vPnUJCYtUu2SFSp73Fe6Tj7amJv1gVsDlBjzn~5kiqbPfK0uq6xztXdnmAX8TIO0zjNaOsIV52FTIokhEeHmrGBmIgCXa8PX91ObQkm3n4k4C6lFDklUtpeA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Medina City Council on June 9 approved an ordinance authorizing the mayor to enter a partnership agreement with Medina County and the cities of Brunswick and Wadsworth to apply for fiscal-year 2025 Community Housing Impact and Preservation (CHIP) funds from the Ohio Department of Development. Council also adopted an emergency clause so the mayor could sign the agreement ahead of the grant deadline.

During discussion, a council member said the partnership would allow the city to be part of a larger application that allocates more funding to the county while preserving nearly the same amount for the city as a standalone submission. The emergency clause was requested because the grant deadline is in late June; the council approved the clause and the ordinance by roll call, 7-0.

The ordinance authorizes the mayor to execute the partnership agreement and to submit the CHIP application through the joint county/city arrangement. The adoption of the emergency clause does not by itself obligate the city to accept grant terms; it enables the application to be submitted before the program deadline.

Next steps: the mayor is authorized to sign the partnership agreement and staff will complete and submit the CHIP application as authorized by the council.","The Medina City Council authorized the mayor to enter a partnership agreement with Medina County and neighboring cities to apply for an Ohio Department of Development Community Housing Impact and Preservation (CHIP) grant; the council adopted an emergency clause to meet the late-June submission timeline.",{"_33":112,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":113,"_41":114,"_43":115,"_45":116,"_46":117,"_48":118,"_50":119,"_52":120,"_54":55,"_56":57,"_58":121,"_60":61,"_62":63,"_64":122,"_66":67,"_68":69,"_70":71,"_72":73,"_74":73},6208146,"Medina council authorizes application for ORDC grant to replace city rail after repeated breaks",130,768000,898000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3749679-38e4b7cd3073bb5e3d6133e6b36e9496&start=768&end=898","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3749679-38e4b7cd3073bb5e3d6133e6b36e9496/thumbnail_768000.jpg","/articles/6208146/Ohio/Medina-council-authorizes-application-for-ORDC-grant-to-replace-city-rail-after-repeated-breaks","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6208146-521b90bf2914603593d8970a0a4f41a1/orig.mp4?Expires=1771186719&Signature=Vtxie-yT3wkyG94hzcMGi1MlLSDxbI3vGPOvHsSB79ZHEXXe7N3kYgeQ80SEvo3VjmzbSCgjm7EPi0LNEsgL51R-rf1HVoNZCB3jq1cwOmAd1ZZVjVvUakIHv7hNAYr-nWcLrRddeB0z4CCzd0pKBXBYQPH1f7fRCSoakkxlomMOREpRVNAzofbSzQI3gv8oyvMos3U957fPiYwhcW6la0xDRRaSj55vPhlbwNn68-8sD3e3XkiYnquK~kqYjTizShVZQ6HmW0wy6jU0zcmQCveap6IQBjyrSjGsfTOSoEOvr~9Vby0OaV5PyC70xny79YOVcLN1ZE7UO2B7xNhUYA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Medina City Council on June 9 authorized staff to file an application with the Ohio Rail Development Commission for grant funding to replace about 1,500 linear feet of rail and approved ordinance adjustments to cover emergency repair costs.

City Engineer Patton told the council, \"We've experienced a rash of emergency rail line breaks and repairs this year,\" and said the replacement work the city is seeking would be eligible for an 80/20 grant. Patton said the city may need to transfer local funds to cover its share and that those advances could be reimbursed depending on consortium approval.

The action combined two items: an increase in authorized expenditures to cover emergency rail repairs and a resolution (Resolution 113-25) authorizing an application to the Ohio Rail Development Commission. Patton said the expenditure increase includes approximately $14,600 set aside for anticipated 2025 repairs. The council voted 7-0 to adopt the resolution authorizing the grant application.

Council members discussed funding timing and whether the city's rail fund had sufficient dollars; Patton noted that if the city advances monies for the project those funds would be reimbursed later if the consortium approves the reimbursement. The resolution does not itself obligate city matching funds beyond authorizing the application.

Next steps: staff will file the ORDC application and return with any required funding transfers or follow-up items if the grant moves forward.","City Engineer Patton told the Medina City Council that repeated rail-line breaks have led the city to seek an 80/20 Ohio Rail Development Commission grant to replace roughly 1,500 linear feet of track; council approved the application and related emergency repair spending unanimously.","actionData","errors"]
