Mariemont council trims capital list, taps general fund after fire-bay roof leak
Summary
After heavy rains exposed a failing fire-bay roof, Mariemont council agreed to pause two lower-priority capital items, reduce the Columbia Connector local match and use general-fund money to start replacement work while keeping a $200,000 carryover target.
Council members at a special session on Nov. 24 reviewed the Village’s proposed 2026 permanent improvement (capital) budget and approved a package of short-term changes after an urgent roof problem at the municipal fire bay.
Kelly, who presented the 2026 capital-spending request, said staff applied anticipated 2025 carryover, estimated revenues and open purchase orders to create the plan and emphasized the need to preserve a cash cushion. She told the council the bottom-line question was "what changes do we make to that to get that balance up where I'm comfortable with it?" (Kelly, staff presentation.)
