Committee advances consent ordinances and grant applications including airport and safety grants
Summary
The committee placed several consent items on for passage: a new classification for a city manager chief of staff, a $33,000 moral-obligation payment to Rarig Pacific Company, an FAA $294,000 Lincoln Airport design grant, an ODOT Safe Routes to School grant application (up to $1 million), and an ODOT Highway Safety award of $670,230 for Duck Creek Road.
Administrative staff presented a set of consent and grant items early in the meeting and the chair placed those items on for passage. The items presented included:
- Item 3: An ordinance to modify Cincinnati Municipal Code Chapter 307 establishing a new classification, title and salary range for the city manager's chief of staff. The chair said there were no comments and placed the item on for passage.
- Item 4: A moral-obligation payment ordinance for the Department of Public Services, authorizing total payments of $33,000 (split across two permanent-improvement sources) to Rarig Pacific Company for 695-gallon EnviroGard rollout carts supplied to neighborhood operations.
- Item 5: A Federal Aviation Administration Airport Improvement Program grant of $294,000 for Lincoln Airport to fund design of taxiway D reconstruction and an obstruction-removal project adjacent to Runway 7; staff identified the obstruction as Hangar 3.
- Item 6: An application for an Ohio Department of Transportation Safe Routes to School grant of up to $1,000,000 to support pedestrian and bicycle safety projects serving local students; Council member Albee expressed gratitude and linked the application to an upcoming joint meeting on school-zone safety.
- Items 7/8: Staff recommended indefinitely postponing item 7 and introduced item 8, a B-version Highway Safety Improvement Program grant through ODOT totaling $670,230 (approximately $61,000 higher because of a supplemental award) to improve pedestrian safety along Duck Creek Road from Crane Avenue to Dana Avenue (Evanston/Hyde Park boundary). Council member Jeffries referenced a previous fatal crash at that intersection.
The committee recorded no individual roll-call votes for these consent items during the segments reviewed; the chair "put [each item] on for passage." Further votes or final adoption typically occur on the consent portion of the council agenda or at a subsequent vote.
