(to be provided) Chairman Rader issued the following report: The Public Works & Sustainability Committee met today. We were all present as well as members of the administration Directors Ducu and Leininger. The only item up for debate, and ultimate passage was Resolution 2021-25, which allows the administration to apply for the Nature's Work grant which will be $150,000 to go toward the Foster Pool improvements. We talked about that project. There will be a couple documents that will be coming to Committee on that. The administration will also keep Council in the loop on the progress of Foster Pool.Also, there was a great survey the city had done that had 670 respondents.Ninety- five percent of respondents said that they wanted to see these improvements at our pool. We are really excited that the community welcomes this improvement to our city, and that it is going to come soon, and that we are applying for money to get this process started. We did unanimously recommend adoption of this resolution tonight. We did have one member of the public comment on Granicus about whether or not these funds can be used for baseball fields in addition to the pools and maybe that could apply later on. I think the administration is going to look into that as an option as we move forward with our discussions with the Rec Department, we will take that into consideration. Motion by Councilmember Rader, seconded by President O'Malley to receive and file the report. All members voted in favor. Motion passed. 4. RESOLUTION 2021-25 - A RESOLUTION to take effect immediately provided it receives the affirmative vote of at least five members of Council, or otherwise to take effect and be in force after the earliest period allowed by law, authorizing the Mayor, Director of Public Works and City Engineer, to submit an application for the NatureWorks Grant through the Ohio Department of Natural Resources, to execute any and all agreement necessary to accept an award and to obligate funds required to complete the project to become eligible for reimbursement under the grant program.
