Streets Committee

The Streets Committee met on Friday, July 15, 2005 to discuss the matter of additional sidewalks in the Connect Maumee program, specifically in the area of the new Fort Miami Elementary School.  Present at the meeting were committee members Jenny Barlos, Mike Coyle and Tom Shook, Larry Gamble, Joe Camp and Howard Brebberman from the Service Department and Dave Hazard and Linda Wilker from the Finance Department.

We started with a discussion of the areas on main streets around the new school that do not have sidewalks that students would use to walk to school.  Presently, the areas recommended by the Service Department for new sidewalks would be, the north side of River Rd. east from the school to the turnpike, and the south side of River Rd. between Michigan and Key Street.  The sidewalks would be an assessment project and could be paid over a five year period.  The committee feels that this is an issue of providing a safe environment to the students walking to Fort Miami School and the recommendation by the Service Department is warranted.  Therefore, it is the unanimous recommendation of the committee to allow the Service Department to proceed with an assessed sidewalk project in the above mentioned areas.  This issue will remain in committee and after the school opens in January 2006 will be revisited to determine whether further sidewalks are needed to maintain student safety.

Respectfully submitted,

Jenny Barlos, Chairman

Michael Coyle

Thomas Shook 

Mr. Zimmerman stated he believes that affected residents should be notified of meetings concerning possible assessments in the future.

Mr. Buehrer stated he does not believe there is enough frontage to install sidewalks on some properties on the south side of River Road between Key and Michigan Streets.  Mr. Buehrer further stated that sidewalks are not planned for both sides of Carew Lane due to the lack of sufficient frontage on one side.  He also pointed out that sidewalks do not currently exist on portions of the south side of River Road west of Key Street.

The Service Director stated that, in order to uniformly apply a sidewalk policy throughout the City, he believes that sidewalks should be installed on both sides of the street. 

Mrs. BARLOS moved the report be accepted in its entirety.  Roll call:  Barlos, Coyle, Shook and Zimmerman (4) voting yea; Buehrer (1) voting nay.  The Chair declared the motion carried by a 4-1 vote. 

Mr. Zimmerman read the following report from the Finance Committee.

Finance Committee

      On July 14, 2005, the Finance Committee met to discuss whether to rent or purchase modular housing to address the ongoing facility concerns for the female employees of the fire and paramedic departments.  Present from the committee were Douglas Brainard, Jenny Barlos and Todd Zimmerman and Mayor Wagener, Joe Camp, Larry Gamble, Dan Jankowski, John Jezak, Dave Hazard and Linda Wilker of the administration.  The remainder of those in attendance are indicated in the attendance sheet attached hereto.

      Joe Camp indicated that the price for purchasing a 12’ x 20’ modular facility would be $22,450.  The cost of renting the same facility would be such that after two years rental cost, the continued cost would exceed the price to purchase.  Further, by purchasing, the City would have greater control over the design of the modular facility.  If purchased, at the end of the use of the modular facility it could then be moved to the fire training facility or another appropriate location and used for other purposes.  As such, it was the committee’s recommendation and in the City’s financial interest to proceed with the purchase of the modular facility over rental of such a facility.

      In discussing the issue, the committee inquired into whether the female employees that would be using the modular building were in agreement that this temporary solution was better than the conditions as they currently exist.  No one present had a firm answer to this question.  Thus, the committee’s recommendation to move forward with purchase of the modular facility is subject to the administration first determining that those employees that will be using the facility agree that they would rather have the temporary modular facility versus the current conditions at the fire station.

      Finally, assuming that the administration determines that they will move forward with the purchase of the modular facility, it is the recommendation of the committee that an appropriation in the amount of $37,700, as detailed in the attached budgetary pricing sheet, be made.  While the appropriation has been made in the total amount, it is still the committee’s desire that where possible, the City of Maumee do that work listed as “Installation by City or by IMS” where it will reduce costs.

Respectfully submitted,

Todd M. Zimmerman, Chair

Jenny Barlos

Douglas Brainard 

Mr. Zimmerman noted that approval of the facility by the Uptown Design Review Board will also be needed.
