Summary
Council considered a resolution to advertise and contract for replacement of the East Walnut Avenue water main, a project staff said responds to repeated breaks; after initial action the council decided to table further action until the next meeting.
Painesville City Council considered a resolution authorizing the city manager to advertise for bids and enter into a contract for the East Walnut Avenue water‑main replacement but ultimately tabled the item to a future meeting.
City staff reported East Walnut Avenue has experienced repeated main breaks over several years and that engineering design is complete; staff said the city wanted to solicit bids and proceed with replacement as soon as practical. Council asked clarifying questions about the project limits; staff said the work would run from Liberty to the bridge by Lake Metroparks and would serve the Metro Park area as the last customer.
Council initially moved procedural motions related to suspension and consideration, and votes were recorded, but a later speaker said the item would be pushed to the next meeting and tabled. No final contract award or formal adoption occurred at the March 3 meeting.
Ending: Staff will return with the item at a future meeting after additional scheduling or preparation; council took no contract action that evening.
