Baltimore Village adopts contract with Jacobs Engineering for wastewater improvements
Summary
Council adopted Ordinance 2025-41, authorizing the village administrator to enter an agreement with Jacobs Engineering Group to advise and design wastewater‑treatment improvements; the ordinance passed on a roll‑call vote at third reading.
Baltimore Village council voted to adopt Ordinance 2025‑41, authorizing the village administrator to enter an agreement with Jacobs Engineering Group for professional services on wastewater‑treatment improvements.
At the third reading, a council member outlined the scope: Jacobs will advise the village on options and recommend the most advantageous approach for water and wastewater upgrades. A motion to adopt the ordinance was moved and seconded, and the mayor called for a roll‑call vote. The clerk recorded votes in favor, and the ordinance passed.
Why it matters: engineers hired under this contract will provide planning and design guidance on wastewater infrastructure that council identified as a major capital need. Council members characterized the work as essential to advancing prioritized water/wastewater projects and to supporting future development plans.
What the meeting recorded: the ordinance was presented on its third reading and carried by roll‑call vote; council characterized the agreement as enabling technical review and design work rather than immediate construction authorization.
Next steps: the village administrator will finalize the agreement with Jacobs and return to council with any required contract documents, scopes, and cost estimates for subsequent budgetary approval.
