Council Minutes of 02-17-2015 Jones; Council members Barker, Brossard, Kearney and Schumann; Mayor Kennedy; Planning/Development Director and guests. • Discussed was Resolution 2015-10 which is a Resolution dispensing with the RFP process and authorizing the Mayor to enter into a contract with Cuyahoga County/The Cuyahoga County Engineer for the purpose of providing inspection services for bridges and culverts, and declaring an emergency. Director Wenger explained that the State of Ohio requires that the City perform annual inspections on bridges and culverts and submit a report to the state with the findings.
