Administrator reports progress on trailhead lease, recycling-hosting talks and DORA decals for downtown businesses
Summary
Village Administrator Rick briefed council on expected July lease paperwork for trailhead restrooms to satisfy a NatureWorks grant, county interest in hosting recycling dumpsters at the 80 Miller Street site with a possible $20,000 contribution toward engineering, and upcoming decals and outreach tied to a downtown DORA pending Ohio liquor-control approval.
Administrator Rick told the council he has met with county officials and expects to present a lease request in July to secure trailhead restroom locations; a signed lease is a condition of a NatureWorks grant the village plans to submit.
Rick also reported the county is open to discussing a multi-year hosting agreement to place recycling dumpsters at the village's 80 Miller Street property (future street-garage site). He said the county might contribute approximately $20,000 toward civil engineering costs for the site in exchange for hosting; council members discussed access, site visibility from Miller Street, staff time required for cleanup and possible cameras for security.
On downtown activity, Rick said the village is awaiting approval from the Ohio liquor-control authority for the DORA the council previously approved. Once the authority provides approval, the village will mail decals to downtown businesses indicating whether they allow beverages in the designated area and will coordinate with Long Branch and Midway businesses on timing.
No formal decisions were made; the report was informational and staff will return with the lease request and further details when available.
Next steps: staff to prepare a lease request for council consideration in July (if negotiations continue), refine engineering estimates for the proposed recycling site and issue DORA decals and business outreach upon state approval.
