COUNCIL CHAMBERS


Committee members present were Norma Hill, Steve Pifer, Bruce Truka, and Ken Emerson.

Committee discussed the Ohio Public Works Commission grant and a zero interest loan rate for the North Sandusky Ave. storm sewer project.  Hill motioned and Pifer seconded to authorize and direct the Safety Service Director to submit applications for the $249,000 grant and a $78,000 no interest loan.  Motion passed.

A petition from abutting property owners to vacate the alley, which is 12 ft. wide x 441 ft. long that runs north and south between Union and Failor Streets, was discussed.  The Planning Commission has recommended that the undeveloped alley be vacated and Pifer motioned to do so.  Hill seconded and the motion passed.

A term on the Board of Zoning Appeals expires at the end of the year and another member will retire at the end of the year before that term ends.  After discussion, Hill motioned and Truka seconded to reappoint Mary Jo Allen, who resides at 126 Rensselaer St. to another term and to appoint Harry Lipscomb, who resides at 549 South Sandusky Ave., to the unexpired term.  Motion passed.

The City has a right of way that begins at the southern terminus of Rogers St. and extends south 152.5 feet.  The position of the Administration is that the right of way is not needed and after discussion Committee concurs.  Hill motioned to relinquish the right of way and Truka seconded.  Motion carried.

Truka motioned and Pifer seconded to adjourn at 8:50 A.M.
