Council reviews West State Street storm-drainage plan, reservoir levels and AMP energy portfolio update
Summary
The utilities and streets committee described a proposed West State Street storm-drainage project (840 feet of undersized pipe; estimated cost $453,000; 50% grant/50% local match) and reported reservoir levels and a possible AMP energy resource realignment Shelby submitted for review.
The Shelby City Council heard a multi-part utilities and streets committee report that covered storm-drainage work, reservoir status and other infrastructure items.
Committee remarks described the West State Street consolidated-drive storm-drainage improvements: an 840-foot stretch of undersized storm sewer (current 15-inch pipe to be replaced by 30-inch pipe at the identified location), an estimated project cost of $453,000 and a proposed funding mechanism of 50% grant and 50% local match. Committee members said the city’s 2002 sewer improvement plan identifies the area and that the project could start July 1 if funding is available. The council was advised that the mayor or director of public service will prepare and submit an Ohio Public Works Commission application specific to this and related drainage work (see separate resolution action).
On water supply, the committee reported reservoir status: Reservoir 2 capacity was stated as 250,000,000 gallons and described as about 12 feet below full; Reservoir 3 capacity was stated as 388,000,000 gallons and described as about 6 feet down. Presentations said source-water pumping has been restricted by low stream levels and the city asked residents to conserve water; no mandatory restrictions were ordered.
The council also approved a Technology Parkway parking restriction so emergency access remains clear, and the clerk reported the city submitted 800 tons on the ODOT road-salt bid (typical usage cited at about 1,600 tons per year) with the contract price reported by the bidder.
The committee updated council members on an AMP (energy authority) contracted resource realignment opportunity. According to the briefing, Shelby submitted the Greenup hydro resource (reported at about 366 kilowatts, roughly 1.1% share) and a second hydro resource identified in the transcript as “Meldal” (reported at about 559 kilowatts). Legal counsel provided documents to the city for review; the law director and utilities director are examining contract language before any authorization is sought.
The council did not vote to commit final funding during the report; members requested follow-up paperwork and legal review as noted in the meeting record.
