Community Partnerships Committee for 4/13/2026

The City of Troy, Ohio Community Partnerships Committee met on April 13, 2026, to discuss three key procurement-related items requiring council recommendations and emergency legislation. First, the committee reviewed and recommended a 7-year full-service street lighting contract extension with Miami Valley Lighting LLC, retroactive to January 1, 2026, with a modest annual rate increase of 2.75% for the last four years of the contract. This contract addresses the city's street lighting needs and includes provisions related to pole ownership and rental fees. Second, the committee recommended authorizing a lease agreement through the Board of Park Commissioners and the Community Improvement Corporation for the property known as the Barn in the Park, aiming to streamline lease management without changing terms or transferring property title. Lastly, the committee approved moving forward with emergency legislation for the 2026 Troy Strawberry Festival agreement, including temporary activation of a portion of the festival boundary on city property. All three items were unanimously supported to proceed with emergency legislation to ensure timely execution.
