Council holds first reading on engineer reappointment and discusses fees
Summary
On first reading council discussed reappointing Mr. Sheehy as city engineer (ordinance 2025-25), the scope of the engineer line item, and which fees are reimbursable by contractors; no vote was taken.
The Pepper Pike City Council took up ordinance 2025-25 for first reading on Dec. 9, which would reappoint the city's engineer, Mr. Sheehy.
Council members asked whether the budget line for the engineer covers all work by Grand Valley Engineering or only personnel services. A speaker said personnel services are the predominant component of that line but that some project-specific work and studies — for example, a $10,000 traffic study the council authorized — may be billed as special projects or reimbursable items. The council noted that some inspection work is typically reimbursed by contractors.
The council thanked the engineer for work completed during the year. No formal vote or appointment was recorded at the meeting; the item remains at first reading pending a future session when a full quorum may be present.
