City of St. Marys Council Meeting 10-26-2026

The City of St. Marys Council met on October 26, 2026. Council approved an emergency appropriation ordinance covering 14 requests across six funds, with a total reported as approximately $571,000 (the exact amount is unclear in the transcript). The appropriation includes about $32,000 for the Street Department’s failed fueling system, including temporary tanks and replacement tanks. The council also approved Resolution 2026-17, authorizing an agreement with the Ohio Department of Transportation for Phase 4 improvements to Spring Street from Main Street to the St. Marys River bridge. The city’s current share is approximately $130,729, with possible additional costs for locally selected upgrades such as lighting, benches, and traffic signals. The project is expected to be bid in December; no vendor or award was identified.

Council also considered a resolution setting tax levies and rates, and discussed accepting the county hazard mitigation plan, which is reviewed every five years and may affect eligibility for future state and federal funding. The transcript does not clearly establish final action on the hazard plan. City staff reported ongoing street work, including manhole adjustments, resurfacing, and pavement markings; no related contract award was reported.
