PROPOSED ORDINANCES
Ordinance No. 2023-41 - Introduced by Council -An Ordinance authorizing additional
city funds for the S.R. 60 Highway Improvements Project and declaring an emergency.
Mr. Roberts: Mr. President, I'm sorry.
Mr. Vincent: Mr. Roberts.
Mr. Roberts: We passed that as an emergency. Did we actually pass the ordinance?
Mr. Pettit: We just waived the readings. We didn't pass as an emergency, correct?
Mr. Vincent: Oh, the last one?
Mr. Roberts: Yes.
Mr. Vincent: No, it was not an emergency.
Mr. Pettit: Because it will kick in 30 days from now, which would be before.
Mr. Vincent: So, it would be 30 days. A concern calendar-wise?
Mr. Roberts: I thought Cody moved to waive?
Mr. Pettit: Yes, I moved to waive, but I didn't move to pass as an emergency. It's
different, right?
Mr. Vincent: Yes, there's no emergency language in this.
Mr. Roberts: Okay. So, we roll called on the waiving, but we did not roll call on the .. .
Mr. Pettit: No, we did roll call on passage.
Mr. Roberts: Okay. I apologize.

in place to get paving underway. It's August, correct? (To Scott Brown).

Miss Bradshaw moved for passage. It was seconded by Mr. Pettit.
Mr. Vincent: Is there further discussion?
Mr. Wolfe: Mr. President?
Mr. Vincent: Mr. Wolfe.
Mr. Wolfe: Just curious. How does it increase by $240,000?
Mr. Vincent: Mr. Brown?
Scott Brown: Yes, I'd be more than happy to try and explain it. So, this project was
estimated by ODOT. ODOT did all of the bidding. When the final bids came in, forgive
me I don't have ODOT's estimate memorized , but the winning bid was $5.2 million and
change to do 6 miles of roads. That was over their estimate by, I think, 14%. So, we are
responsible for a total of 20% of all the paving that takes place inside the City of
Zanesville that is a state route. So, 20% of $5.2 million is a little over a million dollars.
Where does the money come from? Every year the State of Ohio gives the city
$400,000 to maintain those state routes. We're allowed to borrow from future years, so
we were able to spend this year's allotment of $400,000, borrow next year's allotment of
$400,000, which still left us about 200 and something thousand short. And that is why
we needed this extra money to cover that missing delta because the bids came in at
$5.2 million. Of the $240,000, about half of that was for asphalt. The other half was for
the upgrades to all of the traffic signals along Maple Avenue that will give them ... I
apologize, and I wish Craig Stemm was here. He could give you a detailed explanation
Page 4 of 10
ZANESVILLE CITY COUNCIL MEETING MONDAY, APRIL 24, 2023
of why spending that money to upgrade those traffic signals is in our best interest, but I
assure you that the amount of money that we're going to spend, about $120,000, will be
well worth it to make all those traffic signals significantly better. They'll be able to be
remotely controlled just like the ones that were put on Main Street in downtown, so that
they can detect when there is (vehicle) stacking, and they can change themselves so
that the pattern of traffic there will flow better than it currently does.
Mr. Vincent: Okay, thank you Mr. Brown. Does that answer your question, Mr. Wolfe?
Mr. Wolfe: Yes, and thank you.
Mr. Vincent: Anything else from Council? So that will help the flow traffic on Maple and
we are going to get it freshly paved. We didn't add anything later on, this is all as the
plan has been?
Scott Brown: That's correct.
Mr. Vincent: Anything else from Council? Okay, let's have roll call vote for passage.

Wastewater Treatment Plant Upgrade Project between the City of Zanesville and the
Ohio Water Development Authority.
Mr. Vincent: We are at second reading , but Mr. Brown did request that we waive this to
move this along.
Miss Bradshaw moved to waive the readings. It was seconded by Mr. Pettit.
Mr. Vincent: . Is there any discussion? Mr. Brown, can you just add in a little bit as far
as why waiving is important?
Scott Brown: Yes, this project is ready to go. We have all of the contracts executed. We
discussed it at the last committee meeting. OWDA will not allow you to execute the loan
agreements until all of the rest of the paperwork is in place, which is why this final step
is here; even though I'm sure Council feels like this has been going on forever because
we started back in October with this whole process. So, this is the last piece. The
sooner that we can get this legislation passed, the sooner we can execute the contracts
and get going.
Mr. Vincent: Okay, thank you sir. Any other questions? Let's have roll call vote for
waiving of the readings.

Council meeting that we can amend then as third reading as well there will be a piece of
legislation coming forward from Ways and Means regarding charitable donations and
how they are to be dealt with in the future.

MISCELLANEOUS AND UNFINISHED BUSINESS

Mayor Mason: Just want to remind everybody that on Friday, the Rotary Club is having
their Rotarama, which is a combination raffle and concert. The proceeds support the
Page 8 of 10
ZANESVILLE CITY COUNCIL MEETING MONDAY, APRIL 24, 2023
programs that provide, for example, food to students between the end of the schoolyear
and the beginning of the lunch cycle on the summer lunch cycle. So, it's very important
that the Rotary has those proceeds.
Also, at the Secrest Auditorium, and it's actually utilized every weekend, we have ice
skating coming up the following week. It's not really ice, but let's hope it doesn't get that
cold, but it's the simulated ice.
And then on May 19th , we have the Motown Revue at the Secrest. I really hope that
everybody can attend that for many reasons, one of which, the more we show our solid
audiences at the Secrest Auditorium and Music Hall, the more other promoters will
continue to use our facilities. This is by an outside promoter who selected us for the
show.
Mr. Vincent: Thank you, sir. Anything else from the administration?
Scott Brown: Real quick, as a joint effort between Public Service and Community
Development over the past four weeks, Matt's office wrote a pretty nice grant to acquire
and plant some trees. Our Parks Division did the same. So, in the past four weeks,
we've planted over 100 trees in our parks and in our right-of-ways. And then also Rotary
planted 10 trees in Confluence Park over the weekend.
Mr. Vincent: Very nice. Thank you. One other thing, Mayor, as far as Secrest this week,
the Carr Center Cake Auction is going on there this week, Wednesday and Thursday,
the 26th and 27th . It's open to people if you want to stop in and the night before for
viewing cakes and come down while the bidding is going on and you can actually attend
again. COVID's over. Back to the way things were before. Anything else from
administration? Law Director, anything for you sir?
David Tarbert: No, thank you.
