Council approves TIMACOG stormwater outreach participation and advances downtown and school-safety solicitations
Summary
Council approved a $871.81 appropriation and MOU with TIMACOG for a 2026 stormwater media campaign, previewed outreach videos, authorized solicitation for downtown Phase 2 construction management and approved solicitation for four school crossing rapid-flash beacons (ODOT-funded, ~90% state contribution).
Sylvania City Council on Dec. 15 authorized participation in a TIMACOG-led 2026 stormwater coalition media campaign and advanced procurement steps for downtown Phase 2 and an ODOT-funded school-safety beacon project.
Mister Shaw presented short outreach videos produced by the campaign partner (described in the meeting as Team McCaug) and said the materials help the city meet stormwater annual-report requirements. Council authorized Ordinance 1 41 2025 to enter a memorandum of understanding with the Toledo Metropolitan Area Council of Governments and appropriate $871.81 for participation.
On capital projects, staff said downtown Phase 2 design is about 75% complete and recommended soliciting letters of interest for construction-management services; council approved beginning the solicitation process and scheduled a public open house for Jan. 13 to display the plans. Mister Shaw also described an ODOT safety-funded project to install four rectangular rapid-flash beacons near school sites (McChord, Southview, Highland on Erie and Sylvanet Elementary). He said the project is estimated at about $730,000 with roughly 90% expected from state safety funds; council authorized soliciting ODOT-prequalified construction-management teams.
A member of the public, Emily Dumont of Toledo, asked about the overall construction budget for the previously discussed Heron/Ravine Drive project; staff clarified the figures during the meeting. Council approved both solicitations by voice vote.
