Minutes of the Regular Meeting of Council <br />Monday, April 18, 2022 <br />Pg #4 <br />2022 CAPITAL PROJECTS. When Covid hit, most of our Capital Projects were put <br />on hold or slowed down substantially, so this project list might seem very familiar to <br />you. <br />Civic Center ADA Improvements. As we have reported, two separate grants from the <br />State of Ohio, each for $100,000, are being used to make improvements to the Civic <br />Center. Construction is underway right now, expanding and upgrading the main <br />restrooms in this building to make them ADA compliant. The restrooms are being <br />expanded into the kitchen and the kitchen will receive a much-needed facelift as well. <br />Rycon Construction was the successful bidder on this project at $308,500 and with <br />$200,000 from the State, we will get much benefit from this renovation at a pretty low <br />cost to the Village. We budgeted $500,000 for renovations to this building this year, and <br />that includes replacement of a boiler as well as some other smaller ADA improvements. <br />Worton Park Culvert Replacement Project. Designs for Phase 1 of the Worton Park <br />Culvert Replacement Project are being finalized and the project is expected to go out to <br />bid in the next several weeks. Phase 1 includes replacing two culverts - one on Worton <br />Park and one on N. Woodlane Drive with larger box culverts. Channel improvements <br />will also be made between these culverts and with the help of the Sewer District, a <br />property that had experienced substantial flood damage over the years was purchased <br />and the home razed. An expanded floodplain is being installed at this property to further <br />improve drainage in the area. $1.2 million has been budgeted for this project and <br />additional funds will be budgeted in 2023 for Phase 2 of this comprehensive <br />improvement, which includes the replacement of three additional culverts. <br />Aintree Park Sanitary Relief Sewer. Another project that's currently on hold is the <br />Aintree Park Sanitary Relief Sewer. The budget for this project is $455,000 and will <br />consist of construction of approximately 670 ft. of sanitary relief sewer to divert excess <br />flow from the Aintree Park Drive sanitary sewer. This project is expected to help <br />alleviate basement flooding in the area and will remain on hold while we monitor <br />revenues. <br />DEPARTMENTAL REPORT. All of our Departments continue to run smoothly. <br />The Parks & Recreation Department is excited about the coming summer season as <br />we all are. Although funding for summer concerts was decreased by half this year, our <br />Director Shane McAvinew has worked his magic, booking bands to maximize this <br />budget. All other Parks & Recreation program costs are essentially pass-throughs, so no <br />additional budget cuts are needed and we are happily back to pre-Covid programming. <br />After some underground renovations to repair leaks, Parkview Pool is expected to be up <br />and running on June 3`d of this year, provided however that it stops snowing by then. <br />The season will be extended on the weekends this year through Labor Day, September <br />4 I. Covid has changed some of our Special Events, probably forever, but they are back <br />and arguably some are even improved. Our Mothers' Day Pancake Breakfast will <br />remain at the Community Room this year, July 4`h Fireworks are going forward on July <br />2nd, and Cruise Night is back to its original June timing, this year on June 11th with <br />
