some reimbursement from the County for Dover Center Road, so our total cost for resurfacing will cost $1.656 million. [Committee voted 2-0 to recommend to Council] • Next, the discussion was directed to Resolution 2025-108, a Resolution authorizing the City Engineer to advertise for bids for cracksealing on various city streets in the city, as per specification on file in his office, and authorizing the Mayor to enter into a contract for the same after Board of Control approval. The City Engineer informed us that this is an annual program for heavily trafficked roads to obtain cracksealing next season. The total cost associated will be $80,000. [Committee voted 2-0 to recommend to Council] • Continuing our discussion, we moved on to Resolution 2025-109, a Resolution authorizing the City Engineer to advertise for bids for the award of a contract to provide new pavement markings to various city streets and locations in the city, as detailed in the specifications on file, and authorizing the Mayor, following approval of the Board of Control, to contract for the same with the lowest and best bidder. Mr. Filarski explained that resolution is an annual program for pavement markings. Residential streets will not be included this year, as they only need pavement markings every other year, because they don't get the same wear as the main roads, which will save us some money this year, the estimated pavement marking cost is $190,000. • Finally, the discussion turned to Ordinance 2025-117, an Ordinance that allows the surfacing of Lorain Road State Route 10 from 600 feet east of Stearns Road northeast to Canterbury Road and install a mid -block crossing on Lorain Road at the North Olmsted Library in the City of North Olmsted. Director Upton explained that this mid -block crossing will be on Lorain Road near the library so that pedestrians can cross Lorain Road safely. Director Upton explained that the Safe Routes to School Survey noted that many children from the North Olmsted Middle School and the North Olmsted High School, when they get released from school, dart across Lorain Road near the library as they venture north. Director Upton assured Council that this is a safer option for pedestrians, especially the children. The mid -block crossing will have flashing lights and it will be mandatory for vehicles to stop so that pedestrians can walk across Lorain Road. People needing to cross Lorain Road will need to press a button to cross, and when the light is a solid red, then they can cross the road safely. Drivers that do not stop when indicated will be ticketed. Director Upton gave assurance that adequate education will be given to the public before these changes take effect. The City Engineer reported that traffic will continue to flow appropriately and that traffic crossings should not cause traffic to back up. [Committee voted 2-0 to recommend to Council]. Lastly, with regards to Ordinance 2025-117, the Emergency Clause was left off the title in error, so we will need to amend the legislation to correct the error. It is in the body of the legislation, which is most important. However, to correct that, I will move to amend Ordinance 2025-117 to add the Emergency Clause in the title and ask for a second. 12-02-25 Council Meeting Minutes Page 8
