Council authorizes mayor to apply for Ohio Public Works Commission funding for road projects
Summary
Harrison council passed a resolution authorizing Mayor Ryan Grubbs to submit applications to the Ohio Public Works Commission for the State Capital Improvement and Local Transportation Improvement programs, enabling Drive Fork Road work and future 2026 road projects.
Harrison City Council voted to authorize Mayor Ryan Grubbs to prepare and submit applications to the Ohio Public Works Commission (OPWC) for State Capital Improvement and Local Transportation Improvement programs. The resolution also authorizes the mayor to execute any required contracts associated with those applications.
Council discussed whether the authorization was for a single project or a blanket authorization for multiple projects. Mayor Grubbs said the resolution "is all in regards to Drive Fork Road, but it will cover all projects going forward for 2026" and will enable signatures for new road-related projects.
The resolution passed by roll call with affirmative responses from council members. The authorization allows city staff to seek OPWC funding and to move forward with application and contract steps without returning to council to approve the mayor’s signature for each individual OPWC submission.
