Walton Hills council adopts emergency resolutions to seek OPWC funds, award storm‑sewer contract and accept tax‑incentive review
Summary
Council approved a resolution to apply to the Ohio Public Works Commission for a potential grant/loan for resurfacing several streets; adopted a resolution to contract with Iran's Inc. for the 2025 storm‑sewer repair program; and accepted tax reinvestment review recommendations for MPK.
The Walton Hills Committee of the Whole on Sept. 2 voted to adopt several emergency resolutions including an OPWC funding application, a contract award for storm‑sewer repairs and acceptance of tax‑incentive review recommendations.
Council introduced and moved to adopt Resolution 2025‑33 authorizing the mayor to apply to the Ohio Public Works Commission (OPWC) for potential grant and/or loan funding to support capital infrastructure projects in the village. Staff said the application seeks funding for resurfacing Rand Drive, Andrew Drive and Connelly Drive and that, if successful, a 2027 construction window is anticipated.
Council also introduced and adopted Resolution 2025‑34 authorizing the mayor to enter into a contract with Iran's Inc. to perform services for the 2025 storm‑sewer repair program and declared an emergency to expedite the work. The packet and staff comments referenced a completed bid and recommendation for contract award for the Alexander Road storm repair.
Separately, Resolution 2025‑35 accepting the tax‑incentive review council’s recommendations regarding a reinvestment agreement for MPK (tax year review) was introduced and adopted. Staff said the county review covered tax year 2024 and recommended continuation.
Meeting minutes record voice votes in which council members answered in the affirmative for the items introduced that evening; Councilwoman Jennifer Allen was excused from the meeting due to illness.
Next steps: staff will finalize the OPWC submission by the Sept. 11 application date noted in the meeting packet, execute the storm‑sewer contract as authorized, and file required reports regarding the tax reinvestment agreement.
