South Bloomfield Village Council on Oct. 31 approved Resolution 2024-17, authorizing Village Administrator Joe Allen to prepare and submit an application to the Ohio Public Works Commission State Capital Improvement Program to fund flow-equalization improvements at the village wastewater treatment plant.
Village Administrator Joe Allen explained the reason for pursuing the grant application before the council, saying the work would address flow equalization needs at the plant. Council member Tom Ramsay moved to approve the resolution; Amber Murphy seconded. Woody Blanton, Tom Ramsay, Lisa McDorman, Dena Cobb and Amber Murphy voted yes and the motion carried.
Ramsay then moved, with Murphy seconding, to suspend the second and third readings and adopt Resolution 2024-17 as an emergency measure. The same five council members voted yes and the council carried the motion to pass the resolution immediately as an emergency.
The meeting lasted roughly two minutes; Ramsay moved to adjourn, Lisa McDorman seconded, a roll-call vote passed, and the meeting adjourned at 5:32 p.m. The resolution directs the village administrator to prepare and submit the OPWC application; further details on the scope, estimated cost or project timeline were not specified in the meeting record.
