Summary

At its Jan. 27 meeting, the Twinsburg City Council unanimously approved multiple emergency resolutions to advance a wastewater treatment plant improvement project, award engineering contracts and authorize related agreements and purchases; votes were recorded 6-0 on the items brought for emergency adoption.

Twinsburg City Council on Tuesday moved quickly through a package of emergency resolutions tied to the city's wastewater treatment plant improvement project and other operational contracts, voting 6-0 on each measure that council placed on an expedited, third and final reading.

The most consequential measures advanced the wastewater program: a resolution accepting the bid for the wastewater treatment plant improvement project and a resolution authorizing professional engineering services related to that project. The council also approved a Summit County cost-share agreement for the project after amending the resolution to include an emergency clause.

Council members said the suspension of the three-reading rule was intended to keep the project on schedule. The roll-call votes on the wastewater-related resolutions and the associated professional services agreements were unanimously recorded as yes.

The meeting record shows the council also approved other items on emergency readings or carried forward second readings, including an inspection-services contract with Quality Control Inspections Inc., a license agreement for an underground sewer pipe crossing with Wheeling and Lake Erie Railroad Company, maintenance agreements with Summit County for the Liberty Multipurpose Trail, and a purchase program order for golf carts through the city's designated cooperative purchasing mechanism. Several of these were described by the council as time-sensitive to meet procurement timelines or seasonal needs.

The council made routine procedural amendments when needed (for example, adding an emergency clause to a title) and used roll-call votes administered by the clerk for each suspension and adoption. When business concluded, the council voted unanimously to excuse one absent member and then entered executive session to discuss a personnel matter and imminent litigation.
