Council directs drafting of OPWC Issue 2 grant legislation for Fillmore Street reconstruction
Summary
Council directed the law director to draft legislation to apply for Ohio Public Works Commission (OPWC) Issue 2 funds for Fillmore Street reconstruction (Oakwood to Bokey), citing collapsing sanitary sewers and problematic water lines; staff requested an emergency/suspension clause to meet the application timeline after Labor Day.
Council directed the law director to draft legislation enabling an application for OPWC Issue 2 funds to support reconstruction of Fillmore Street from Oakwood to Bokey. Staff explained portions of the sanitary sewer are collapsing and water lines have problems, requiring full reconstruction; the right-of-way width constraints mean a full tear-out and rebuild will be necessary.
Staff asked council to include an emergency and suspension clause in the drafted legislation because OPWC applications are generally due the Friday after Labor Day. Council recorded the motion and roll call directing the law director to prepare appropriate legislation and to return for a first reading at the next meeting with the possibility of suspension at the subsequent meeting to meet deadlines.
