Administrator Mike Roszman told council the Shaferly Lift Station Project is scheduled to begin in February with an approximate completion date of April 7, weather permitting. Public Works staff are actively addressing a separate water leak, and residents were reminded to drip faucets during extreme cold and to check on elderly neighbors.
Council discussed the Patterson Street project timeline; Roszman said the project remains in the budget but the timeline may shift to 2027. Staff and Council noted coordination with Choice One Engineering on the 2026 paving program and raised concerns about standing water near Magnolia Street and Snyder Park that may affect paving prioritization.
Mayor Bame requested further evaluation of bulk-water meter usage and related policies. Solicitor Gucker reported the Snyder Park sidewalk appropriation case has been approved and is nearing completion; he also said the prosecutor requested additional documentation for property maintenance enforcement cases and will coordinate with Property Maintenance Officer Mr. Wentz to obtain it. Council indicated no objection, pending standard background checks and state review, to a liquor-permit transfer application for 1305 South Vance Street (Shell Station). No decisions were final beyond the updates and requests for follow-up.
