From the meeting
Council introduced, suspended rules on, and passed Resolution 26-09-050 authorizing the Safety-Service Director to prepare and submit an application for Ohio Public Works Commission State Capital Improvement and/or Local Transportation Improvement Program funds. The resolution also allowed the city to execute contracts as required for bids and award contracts. This is a grant-funded public works trigger with multiple future project awards likely to follow if funding is secured.
