Council packet confirms $59,515 in revised special assessments for completed sidewalk work
Summary
Ordinance No. 26‑030, sponsored by Council Member Chris Maxwell, adopts revised special assessments totaling $59,515.35 for completed sidewalk improvements and sets May 31, 2026 as the cash deadline or five‑year installment option.
WADSWORTH — Ordinance No. 26‑030, sponsored by Council Member Chris Maxwell, would adopt revised special assessments totaling $59,515.35 for completed sidewalk repairs, replacements and construction on a list of streets across the city. The ordinance lists affected streets, requires publication of the assessments and directs the clerk to deliver a certified copy to the Medina County Auditor.
The legislation specifies that each assessment “shall be payable in cash no later than May 31, 2026, or at the option of the owner in five (5) annual installments with interest,” and that unpaid assessments after May 31 will be certified by the clerk. The ordinance text declares the measure an emergency “necessary for the immediate preservation of the public peace, health, and safety … in order to promptly collect funds to pay for sidewalk improvements.”
The ordinance’s sponsor, Council Member Chris Maxwell, is listed in council materials as having advanced the item from the Public Ways committee; the packet does not include a vote tally or public comment. The clerk of council’s certificate of publication and the instruction to deliver certified copies to the county demonstrate the administrative steps the city will take if the ordinance is adopted. No implementation schedule beyond the May 31 payment deadline is included in the packet.
