City officials said the party that holds the construction bond for the State Theater has reached an agreement with the theater’s board and a contractor — identified in the meeting as JRJ — has been selected to complete the originally budgeted scope of work. City staff and commissioners cautioned that some negotiations remain between the theater board and the bond guarantor, and the schedule for reopening and any additional costs remain uncertain until those talks conclude. The city said physical activity at the site is imminent.

On Battery Park, staff said the Marus-led development team plans to present a final PUD to the planning commission in October. The developer is selecting a demolition contractor and expects to begin selective demolition and preparatory site work in roughly 4 to 6 weeks, pending a final timeline the developer will provide. Staff said the developer is seeking additional funding that will not be available until January and that some details remain under negotiation.

Other updates: the recreation center procurement received 10 design-build qualifications; staff will narrow submissions and invite three teams to submit full proposals, with final selection expected in December. The city also announced a Welcome Home Ohio ribbon-cutting for two homes at 1815 and 1817 Pierce scheduled for 10 a.m. on Wednesday, Sept. 24. A city phone number (419-627-5891) was given for residents seeking program details.

Commissioners described the State Theater activity as a positive development while acknowledging the remaining uncertainties about timing and cost; they asked staff to continue monitoring negotiations and to keep the public informed as firm schedules and funding details are confirmed.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","City Commission Meeting - September 22, 2025","oneSentenceSummary","City officials told the Sandusky Commission that work at the State Theater should resume soon after a bond guarantor and the theater board reached agreement, and that the Battery Park Marus project will present a final PUD to the planning commission next month with demolition expected to begin in weeks.","taxTitle","Sandusky City Commission, Sandusky, Erie County, Ohio","taxId",70557,"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},5976902,"Sandusky approves police MOU and ordinance to raise longevity pay to match other bargaining units",122,518000,640000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5834906-fe5f33b1ded3d1818ed0a09e9cabe288&start=518&end=640","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5834906-fe5f33b1ded3d1818ed0a09e9cabe288/thumbnail_518000.jpg","/articles/5976902/Ohio/Sandusky-approves-police-MOU-and-ordinance-to-raise-longevity-pay-to-match-other-bargaining-units","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/5976902-61633403c0c99de5bd43b71b90796abd/orig.mp4?Expires=1770955358&Signature=NDpAprMCpdSEFBpo3WpmL-y-eHBRtOtkRNjUBZMVN934iOIY0f354eFudyBOMvTOFwLjNssxk7hPzGDJs~VsG-uzRBxqex13tUME2xgBCNLUeah-bPH3qqX2392~iQrGO9uF8EL5eKIxzRMiMaQw1q3KwQK-OE3U3rJMcHpZQutQPW-6Z3avyB0A8dp4il64J7ow9~5Fp0erpIQP3GikbMD2S3XWfIQBOzPGt7Di-dDkr9SHXmeNp7l~tIAeGwm~BtQXWsih-K8uICQMz6cKHtRqu4Apxe~eM7R7EHOaYCI22XFPYfWtAm7Kodpbdj2p5zXDZqdCO8sRRdICC9SG4A__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Sandusky City Commission on Sept. 22 approved an MOU between the city and the Fraternal Order of Police, Ohio Labor Council, and adopted an ordinance amending the codified ordinance provision on additional compensation (longevity) so police employees receive parity with other collective bargaining units.

City staff explained the union requested the change to bring longevity payments for police employees into parity with two other bargaining units. A staff representative said the administration concurred and proposed matching longevity payments across the city’s collective bargaining agreements.

Both the MOU and the ordinance amending Part 1, Administrative Code, Title 5, Officers and Departments, Chapter 145, Section 145.29 — Additional Compensation (Longevity) were adopted under suspension of the rules in accordance with section 14 of the city charter. The meeting record shows the ordinances were approved by roll call; commissioners present voted yes.

The meeting record does not specify the exact dollar amounts of the longevity increases or the effective date beyond the ordinances’ statement that they take immediate effect per section 14 of the city charter. The administration characterized the change as a parity adjustment across the city’s three collective bargaining agreements.

Next steps: the city will implement the increased longevity payments as provided by the adopted ordinance and memorialized in the MOU.","The City Commission adopted a memorandum of understanding with the Fraternal Order of Police local and passed an ordinance amending the city code to increase longevity payments for police employees to match other collective bargaining contracts.",{"_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},5976906,"Sandusky adopts Safe Streets and Roads for All plan, moves to demonstration projects",533,734000,1267000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5834906-fe5f33b1ded3d1818ed0a09e9cabe288&start=734&end=1267","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5834906-fe5f33b1ded3d1818ed0a09e9cabe288/thumbnail_734000.jpg","/articles/5976906/Ohio/Sandusky-adopts-Safe-Streets-and-Roads-for-All-plan-moves-to-demonstration-projects","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/5976906-31d76eff030738e815463552d62ce4a6/orig.mp4?Expires=1770955358&Signature=Uw6QppDjJtUfp0RuKoUtCJjRmsAikYgaP1nV-lQbUru4hTzACNFDTB9KeCCfu3RyxomdKprBbM4pP9b2UlyOHk3dc4RQQJpdF4ec2r60hcMjW7-0Ag33waGtDZUaVZcfGWpEPYOtujSPi9tGYSpxScl7LpIqyzmCnCGeyC~asdnJkH-HFRDkiyjJ5vLNAIGkNeuKats-pE9H-mHU1rNDPnE6TWeosoKAz2T-BgvFZmiCr88Y9XtHvQISTO9MrBzhsWQ4J4C-yQQbME9j7bNtuUZSpPOwEGRuatgDQEzIk-Qruea90YOIcgWx3ovpbQt7QhSCcp96xghEY2FzXR4FAg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Sandusky City Commission on Sept. 22 adopted an ordinance approving the city’s Safe Streets and Roads for All Action Plan and authorized the next step of demonstration projects funded by a federal grant and local match. The plan was adopted under suspension of the rules in accordance with section 14 of the city charter.

City staff described the plan as a comprehensive, multi-department effort that draws on regional planning work and input from residents, department heads and neighborhood groups. A staff presenter said the plan focuses on getting people safely from homes to common destinations — the waterfront, bike path, parks and grocery stores — using a mix of low- and high-cost interventions.

The administration reported the city has received a demonstration grant of $600,000 and will provide a $150,000 local match; the funding will support temporary demonstrations such as removable speed tables, portable speed-feedback signs and other “temporary infrastructure” to test safety measures before permanent work is installed. Staff said the demonstrations will be selected through an RFQ process expected later this year or early next year and that equity analysis and community engagement will be part of site selection.

Commissioners and staff emphasized that demonstration installations are intended to be reversible: temporary rubber speed tables and portable signs would be used to test effects before committing to permanent construction. Staff recommended leaving demonstrations in place long enough to capture seasonal and school-related traffic patterns; they said an ideal evaluation period would be about a year, though timing will depend on location and seasonality.

The ordinance adopting the plan directs staff to proceed with the grant agreement and the RFQ process; commissioners voted to adopt the ordinance, and the plan will guide future project-level decisions. The city noted the demonstration grant is for a multi-year program and that federal agreement details and consultant selection will determine exact schedules and next steps.

Next steps: staff will finalize the federal grant agreement, issue the RFQ to hire a consultant to select and design demonstration sites, and run community engagement and equity assessments before implementing any permanent improvements.","The Sandusky City Commission voted to adopt the Safe Streets and Roads for All Action Plan and authorized next steps including a $600,000 federal demonstration grant with a $150,000 city match and an RFQ for demonstration projects.","actionData","errors"]
