(Referred to PWS 11/15/21) RESOLUTION 2021-55 - RESOLUTION to take effect immediately provided it receives the affirmative vote of at least two thirds of the 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 or City Engineer to enter into an agreement under the Community Cost-Share program with Northeast Ohio Regional Sewer District for reimbursement of the cost of city labor for required city-wide catch basin cleaning. (Referred to PWS 11/15/21) Engineer Papke gave an overview of Resolutions 2021-54 & 2021-55. He stated that NEORSD charges its customers an impervious surface fee and there are 12 parcels owned by the city that drain into the sewers on Berea Road. NEORSD gives back 25% of what they collect to municipalities that participate in their cost-share program. Lakewood receives about$7,800 a year through the program. In 2018, the city used $11,000 in collected fees as part of the street sweeper program. The city has to submit eligible cost share projects to NEORSD, which include replacing BMP filters and labor cost reimbursement for citywide catch basin cleaning. The catch basin cleaning will cost over $21,000. Chairman Rader asked whether the catch basin cleaning program was included in the 2022 city budget. Mr. Papke confirmed that it was. Every catch basin is cleaned at least once a year. Committee members expressed support for the resolutions.
