Committee reviews multiple water-project ordinances including Dawna Drive, Lead Service Verification Phase 2 and system looping improvements
Summary
Three draft ordinances would authorize bidding and contracting for water infrastructure: Dawna Drive water-line replacement, Lead Service Verification Phase 2, and Water System Looping Improvements. Each ordinance limits contract totals to the 2026 budget and caps change orders at 10%.
The Committee reviewed three related draft ordinances that together address water infrastructure. One would authorize advertisement and contracting for the Dawna Drive water-line replacement; another would authorize Lead Service Verification Phase 2; a third would authorize water-system looping improvements. Each ordinance ties contract totals to amounts approved in the 2026 budget and allows change orders only if the total financial obligation does not exceed the awarded bid plus 10 percent.
All three drafts are presented as emergency measures "necessary for the immediate preservation of the public peace, health, and safety" and cite compliance with Ohio Revised Code section 121.22. The ordinances appear on the April 21, 2026 committee agenda as items recommended for second readings or committee consideration; none record a vote in the provided text.
