At its April 20 meeting Beachwood City Council approved several routine but operationally important items.

Council selected GPD (Glaus Pyle Schomer Burns & D. Haven/GPD Group) as the most qualified firm to design a connector road between Harvard and Mercantile/Commerce Park roads following Public Works review of submittals.

Council authorized a $58,000 contract with Bill Conti Plumbing to replace two hot-water tanks at the Beachwood Family Aquatic Center, with replacement scheduled to avoid affecting pool opening. Council also approved purchase of a Bricks Fire Station Alerting System after staff said the vendor pricing was obtained through cooperative purchasing and that the upgrade will streamline dispatching and reduce dispatcher/crew stress.

The administration recommended ASI Signage Innovations for Phase 1 of the city signage project, a program to replace and improve wayfinding and park/city identification signs; the Phase 1 package was disclosed at $118,000.

On zoning-related business council adopted an ordinance recognizing a combined dog daycare and restaurant/bar use at the former fire-station site (applicants "Bark and Barrel"); planning staff said cross-parking agreements exist and the use would return to planning commission for final site-plan stipulations.

These items were approved by roll-call votes during the meeting.
