Council approves suspension to seek OPWC funds for Filmore Street; project preliminarily estimated at $1.5M
Summary
Council voted to suspend rules so the city manager can apply for Ohio Public Works Commission funds for a planned Filmore Street sewer, water and street reconstruction project estimated at about $1,500,000, with potential offsets from CDBG funds (~$500,000) and an OPWC grant up to $400,000.
The Napoleon City Council introduced Resolution 026-26A authorizing the city manager to submit applications to the Ohio Public Works Commission and related local transportation programs for 2027 projects. Lori (speaker 8) asked the council to suspend the rules so an application could be filed on time; the motion to suspend passed on a roll call where all named members voted yes.
City staff member Chad Lopes described the planned Filmore Street work, saying it will replace sanitary sewers and water lines, address drainage, and repair the street and sidewalks. "Right now, the preliminary estimate on this project is approximately 1,500,000," Chad said, and staff noted they expect to couple the work with about $500,000 of CDBG funds and pursue an OPWC grant that could provide up to $400,000 to offset costs. After discussion the council voted to pass the resolution with suspension and emergency declaration to allow timely application.
