Council adopts supplemental appropriations, approves sidewalk bids and several contracts in routine votes
Summary
Greenville City Council suspended rules and adopted a supplemental appropriations ordinance including a $172,000 addition for clarifier tank rehabilitation, approved sidewalk bid advertising and a Choice One Engineering contract, and passed an ordinance appointing Steve Anderson as assistant law director.
At its meeting council suspended the rules and approved multiple items by roll call, including a supplemental ordinance providing additional appropriations for 2025 and a group of resolutions related to the sidewalk project and professional services.
Notable actions adopted by roll call included: - Supplemental appropriations ordinance (additional appropriations across general, park and waterworks funds), which included a $172,000 increase for the waterworks clarifier tank rehabilitation so the project can be completed this year rather than split over two years. Roll call recorded Norris, Rogers, White, Wilman, Eling/Elie and Godwin voting yes. - Resolution authorizing advertising for bids for phase three of the 2025 sidewalk project in specified north‑end neighborhoods, and a companion resolution authorizing the Safety Service Director to enter into a contract with Choice One Engineering for professional services; both measures passed by roll call. - An ordinance appointing Steve Anderson as assistant director of law effective May 1, 2025, was adopted on suspension of the rules. - An ordinance amending the city code to exempt national third‑party transportation services (including Uber and Lyft) from certain local registration requirements passed on second/third reading by suspension of rules.
First readings were held for resolutions to enter contracts with Buckeye Forest, Family Health Services of Dark County and Wayne Healthcare Foundation for transit/transportation services; those items received first reading only and were not adopted at this meeting.
Why it matters: the supplemental appropriation moves funds to complete an urgent waterworks rehabilitation project and advances planned sidewalk and contract work. The taxi‑service code change streamlines registration for drivers who are in good standing with national ride‑hail services.
Next steps: staff will advertise the sidewalk bid package, proceed with procurement under the approved resolutions, and return adopted appointment and ordinance items to implementation as scheduled.
