Strasburg advances WWTP planning, approves paving and community‑facility projects
Summary
Village Administrator Mike Rosenberry reported 30% design progress on the WWTP expansion, plans to apply for an EGA grant when $6 million is available, and the council approved multiple routine works including a Newton Asphalt bid for annual paving and an $8,500 crack‑sealing expense. Council also approved participation in a $2,500 EDC program and purchases for banners and park projects.
Village Administrator Mike Rosenberry told the Strasburg Village Council on May 5 that the wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) expansion is at 30% design and that the plan keeps construction inside the existing fence line. Rosenberry said the village will apply to the EGA Grant Program once the village has $6 million on hand.
Rosenberry reported public‑works contracting and park/community projects: Newton Asphalt submitted a bid of $82,277 for the annual paving program through Tuscarawas County; council heard an estimate of roughly $90,000 for Wooster Avenue repairs. Council approved a separate $8,500 expenditure for crack sealing at the recommendation of Street Superintendent Matt Miller. The minutes record that the crack‑sealing motion passed by roll call.
Rosenberry also presented estimates for updating stadium restrooms and said the village will move forward on the restroom update if the Strasburg school commits to half the cost; the school board is scheduled to meet on the matter. The council approved additional brackets for military and sports banners (school to pay half the Bodmer Avenue bracket cost). Rosenberry reported annexation papers were signed by the township and will be taken to the county recorder, and he noted a $450 estimate to move a shed from Village Hall to the park — the council approved that expense.
Other items in the administrator’s report included plans to begin electrical and curb work to relocate the Sibley Mart sign May 19 (weather permitting), RLA beginning storm runoff work and digging footers, Tekton working with the school engineer on retention‑pond analysis, opting into the Tuscarawas County Mosquito Control Program, and a $1,600 estimate to install a front‑door camera and drop box at Village Hall.
Several of these items required or received council approvals and follow‑up by staff; detailed contract language and grant application specifics were not included in the minutes.
