Medina City Council approves series of ordinances including cybersecurity renewal, water-line project and construction GMP

Medina City Council met March 10, 2025, and approved a package of ordinances and one resolution covering insurance, infrastructure, construction contracting and budget/fund adjustments.

The council voted unanimously on all recorded measures, including Ordinance 48-25 (court technology equipment), Resolution 49-25 (a countywide CHIP grant partnership), Ordinance 50-25 (city cybersecurity liability insurance), the West Liberty/South Elmwood/West Washington water improvement bidding authorization, a guaranteed-maximum-price agreement labeled GMP No. 2 with Ruhlin Company, several budget and fund-advance ordinances for the airport and other housekeeping items, and a then‑and‑now certification to pay fuel invoices dating from November.

Why it matters: the actions include both near-term operational approvals—such as a $26,603 cybersecurity liability renewal with Travelers Casualty and Surety Company of America—and multi‑phase capital work, including a water-line replacement project partially funded by a loan from the Ohio Public Works Commission (OPWC) and ongoing construction work on a city facility governed by phased GMP contracts.
