Council approves resolution to apply for ED RLF waiver for municipal building demolition
Summary
The council adopted Resolution 2025‑11 authorizing staff to submit a waiver request to the Ohio Department of Development Office of Community Development to use economic development revolving loan funds for demolition of the municipal building.
The St. Marys City Council approved Resolution 2025‑11 authorizing the submittal of a waiver request to the Ohio Department of Development Office of Community Development to use Economic Development Revolving Loan Funds (EDRLF) for demolition and clearance of the municipal building.
The resolution matters because it authorizes the city to seek state approval to apply otherwise restricted revolving loan funds toward demolition and site clearance, a necessary procedural step before funds can be used for the municipal building project.
Paul read the resolution and noted the waiver request is the next step in the process. The record states the city held public meetings required for the application and that no verbal or written comments were received during the public hearing. Council voice action was recorded as affirmative and the resolution moved forward.
The action at this meeting authorized city staff to submit the waiver application; the transcript does not record a subsequent state decision or any funding disbursement. The resolution advances the city’s administrative process to secure clearance financing if the state approves the waiver.
