Commissioners authorize $172,000 grant drawdown for Cardington storm‑sewer; staff report sewer‑plant startup and architect site visit
Summary
The Morrow County Commissioners approved a $172,000 drawdown to Ohio Landworks LLC for the South Marion Street storm‑sewer project in Cardington and received updates that the county sewer plant systems are starting up and an architect observed progress on a concrete pad.
Morrow County commissioners on Aug. 7 approved a $172,000 grant drawdown to Ohio Landworks LLC for the South Marion Street storm‑sewer improvement project in Cardington and heard staff updates on other county infrastructure work.
A county representative told the board the Cardington project is part of the CVG program (chip program) and said the requested drawdown of $172,000 is for the current work drawdown. The presenter said, "All work has to be completed by the end of this month," and recommended the first drawdown payment so the contractor could be paid for completed work. The commission moved, seconded and voted to authorize the payment.
Commissioners also asked for updates from Mister Carr on ongoing projects. Carr (referenced in the transcript) said multiple projects remain active and described the sewer plant as going through system startups; staff expected to have water flowing and anticipated a progress report from Lottie by the end of the week. The transcript records that staff and family members were receiving training on startup processes.
An architect emailed an update indicating on‑site observation of a concrete pad and that some paint had appeared on the north wall facing the woods; county staff planned to inspect the site and monitor progress. The transcript does not include formal inspection reports or completion certificates.
The Cardington drawdown carries a near‑term completion note; the presenter said work must be finished by month end, which the county will need to verify before final payment. The transcript does not list grant agreement numbers, the exact CVG program acronym expansion, or a formal resolution number authorizing the drawdown.
