Fairfax council approves July bills, minutes and routine resolutions; reviews street project and praises officer
Summary
Council approved July bills and minutes with corrections, accepted the mayor's monthly report showing $649.01 in July receipts, heard an administrator update on a residential street project and a gateway-light warranty, adopted a routine warrant-drawing resolution (R 8 20 20), and a citizen email praised Officer Nathan Staggs.
The Village of Fairfax council on Aug. 17 approved routine fiscal items, heard updates on infrastructure work and received a citizen communication praising a police officer.
Council voted to approve the bills and bank reconciliation for July after the mayor said the finance committee had not met but bills had been paid and reconciled. The council also approved the minutes of the July 20 meeting after minor corrections to spelling and references in the police chief report.
A message from resident Cheryl Airmen, read to the council, praised Officer Nathan Staggs for helping a lost and exhausted citizen in Oak Park and urged the village to consider rewarding him: “Nathan Staggs is good publicity for a profession that doesn't deserve the bad press they are sometimes given. He's a credit to the Fairfax Police Department and you should give him a raise.”
In the administrator's report staff said the 2020 residential street project was beginning with saw-cutting and that work could take about a month, with a subcontractor performing curb and concrete replacements and JK Muir handling asphalt work. Streets listed for work included Arrow Pointe Way, Eleanor Street and the dead-end portion of High Street, as well as the intersection of Red Bank Road and Wooster Road. The administrator also reported that one of the gateway sign lights on Murray Road had been strobing at night; the fixture is under warranty and a replacement is planned.
Council considered and adopted Resolution R 8 20 20, which authorizes drawing warrants and payment of contract amounts of $3,000 or more under a then-and-now certificate pursuant to Revised Code section 5705.41(d)(1). A council member asked whether a recent electric work charge related to the signer wall; staff clarified the expense was for electrical work on the gateway wall and was a separate work order from Atlantic Signing Company.
After completing the remaining agenda items the council adjourned.
