Huron council adopts annual housekeeping resolutions, approves sidewalk change order
Summary
Council approved a series of routine annual resolutions—authorizing internet auction disposal of surplus property (GovDeals), citywide property, sidewalk and tree inspections, cooperative purchasing participation, and certification of mowing charges—and approved a $2,147.51 change order to Smith Paving for District 2 sidewalk work.
HURON — At its Jan. 13 meeting the Huron City Council approved a package of routine annual resolutions and a contract change order related to sidewalk maintenance.
Council voted to permit the use of GovDeals Inc. for internet auction disposal of surplus city property (Resolution 1-2026); City Manager Hamilton cited an old ladder truck as an example of equipment that can be disposed of through the service. Council also approved Resolution 2-2026 to authorize citywide inspections under the International Property Maintenance Code and the Ohio building code and Resolution 3-2026 and 4-2026 to authorize inspections related to sidewalks and tree ordinances as part of a multi-year assessment program, with Hamilton explaining the process: inspection of public right-of-way only, courtesy notice, reinspection later in the year, potential city remediation and certification of unrecouped costs to the tax duplicate.
Resolution 5-2026 certified mowing and yardwork charges to the Erie County Auditor for collection for last year’s work; Hamilton said the total certified amount was $425 (transcript wording on the property count was not clear). The council also approved Resolution 6-2026 authorizing participation in cooperative purchasing programs (GSA, state term contracts and similar), which Hamilton said can streamline procurement and sometimes produce better pricing.
Council approved Resolution 7-2026, authorizing Change Order No.1 from Smith Paving & Excavating Inc. for District 2 sidewalk maintenance in the amount of $2,147.51, which Hamilton said resulted from unexpected slab conditions that required replacement rather than grinding. The change order brings the contract’s aggregate to $32,147.51, per the resolution text read into the record.
All resolutions on the agenda were approved by roll call.
