Northfield OKs resolution authorizing mayor to sign ODOT snow-and-ice agreement for State Rt. 8
Summary
Resolution 2021-36 would authorize the mayor to enter an agreement with the Ohio Department of Transportation allowing ODOT to apply pavement markings, erect signs and—if an agreement is executed—to remove snow and ice and perform certain maintenance on State Route 8 within village limits; the full ODOT agreement text and mutual obligations are included in the packet.
Resolution 2021-36 would authorize the Village of Northfield mayor to enter an agreement with the Ohio Department of Transportation (ODOT) for several services on state highways within the village, specifically State Route 8 (Northfield Road).
The resolution grants consent for ODOT to apply, maintain and repair standard longitudinal pavement markings and to erect regulatory and warning signs on state highway segments in the village. It also states that, if an agreement is entered into, ODOT may remove snow and ice and use snow-and-ice control materials on listed state highways, and may perform certain maintenance and repairs; the resolution expressly excludes snow removal from private driveways, parking areas and intersecting local roads.
The ODOT agreement text included in the packet details mutual obligations: ODOT’s commitment to perform snow-and-ice control on State Rt. 8 during its routine operations within District practices; the village’s grant of right-of-way use and a village obligation to repair at its expense any roadway damage attributable to ODOT operations; periodic joint inspections; termination and dispute-resolution procedures; and signature lines for Mayor Jesse J. Nehez and ODOT Director Jack Marchbanks.
The resolution and agreement language in the meeting materials do not record a council vote in these excerpts. If executed, the agreement would formalize ODOT’s authority to perform the described work on state routes within the village and clarify liability and repair responsibilities between the parties.
