Council adopts ordinance to seek WSRLA loan for Phase II water filtration upgrade
Summary
The Steubenville City Council unanimously adopted Ordinance No. 2025-77 authorizing the city manager to apply for a Water Supply Revolving Loan Account (WSRLA) agreement to fund a Phase II upgrade of the water filtration plant; the ordinance dedicates a repayment source and takes effect on the mayor’s signature.
The Steubenville City Council on Nov. 18 adopted Ordinance No. 2025-77, authorizing the city manager to apply for and enter into a Water Supply Revolving Loan Account (WSRLA) agreement to fund a Phase II upgrade to the city’s water filtration plant.
Mayor Jerry Barilla read the ordinance and opened the floor for comment; no members of the public spoke. "You’ve heard the reading of Ordinance No. 2025-77," Mayor Barilla said before the council voted. Council Member Mayo then called the question and, after a roll-call vote, the ordinance was adopted by a unanimous vote. Mayor Barilla declared the ordinance duly adopted and stated it will go into effect upon his signature.
The ordinance, introduced by the Public Utilities Committee, dedicates a repayment source for the loan and was declared an emergency at the reading, meaning it is scheduled to take effect immediately upon the mayor’s signature. No public hearing or further committee action was recorded in the transcript during the meeting.
The council’s vote was recorded as all ayes; the ordinance was adopted without amendments. Next steps listed in the meeting were the formal signature by the mayor and subsequent administrative processing to apply for the WSRLA loan.
