Council approves solid-waste contract, downtown park design and Nesbitt zoning district in 7–0 votes
Summary
At one meeting the council adopted three roll-call measures: a five-year residential solid-waste contract with Rumpke (Resolution 92), an engineering agreement with KCF Design for a downtown park (Resolution 93), and an emergency ordinance creating the Nesbitt zoning district (Ordinance 94); all passed 7–0.
Loveland City Council approved multiple measures by unanimous votes during the meeting.
Solid-waste contract: Council adopted Resolution 92 authorizing a contract with Rumpke of Ohio for collection, transportation and disposal/processing of residential solid waste and recyclables. Staff said the proposal keeps service terms similar to the existing arrangement with modest first-year price increases; current resident monthly charge was reported at $15.20 and staff said the vendor’s proposed first-year increase is roughly $2.80 per month. Council asked procurement and service questions about other bidders and replacement-cart costs; staff said CSI elected not to bid and that complaint/fuel-surcharge mechanisms are included in the contract.
Downtown park design: Resolution 93 authorizes the city manager to execute an agreement with KCF Design for engineering services to advance design of a downtown park at 106 West Loveland Avenue. Staff said the city purchased the former mobile station property in 2022, completed remediation work and received an EPA No Further Action determination; the design contract will fund concept engineering, geotechnical work and renderings to make the project shovel-ready. The packet listed a design fee near $48,008.50 and staff identified funding in the 2026 budget.
Nesbitt zoning district: Council adopted Ordinance 94 on an emergency basis to create a new Nesbitt zoning district (referenced in the packet as Chapter 11/59). Staff and council described months of Planning & Zoning work to define permitted uses, access rules, parking, sign standards and a two-story height limit to preserve neighborhood character; council voted 7–0 to adopt the ordinance.
Votes and outcomes: Each measure passed on roll-call votes of 7–0. Council recorded the outcomes immediately after reading each resolution/ordinance.
