City of St. Marys Council Meeting 08-10-2026

The City of St. Marys Council held a meeting on August 10, 2026, during which they discussed several municipal matters including road right-of-way vacations and infrastructure improvements. A key procurement-related item was the approval of Resolution 2026-10, an emergency resolution authorizing the Director of Public Service and Safety to accept bids and award a contract for the McKinley Road and Spruce Street intersection improvement project. The project, estimated at approximately $140,000 with $78,000 funded by ODOT, aims to extend a right turn lane to improve traffic flow, particularly for semi-trucks. The council voted to suspend the rules and passed the resolution to expedite bidding and construction within the current year. Additionally, the council recognized outgoing Law Director Zach G. Ferrell for his service and welcomed the newly appointed Law Director Jeff Squire. No other procurement or budget decisions were noted during the meeting.
