Council clears Hamilton Road design contract and authorizes grant applications for major road projects
Summary
Council waived second reading and approved an ordinance to contract for design and engineering on Hamilton Road urban paving and staff sought authorization to submit OPWC and MORPC grant applications to cover construction and city match for multiple roadway projects.
Council approved Ordinance 0026‑20‑26 authorizing the mayor to enter a contract with design and engineering firms for the Hamilton Road urban paving project (TR‑2602), and staff described efforts to seek partial construction funding from state and regional programs. Director Nawrocki explained the city received partial DOT funding for an initial section and is pursuing additional OPWC and MORPC funds to extend work toward Granville and Havens Corners — "so about 1.1 miles," he said.
Council voted to waive the second reading to meet grant and application timing needs. Directors said funding deadlines and application windows require timely council authorization so the administration can submit applications and attach required resolutions to grant requests; several councilmembers supported fast action so the city can pursue the available matched funds.
