The City of St. Marys Council held a meeting on September 14, 2026, where several procurement and budget-related matters were discussed. Key topics included the authorization of a $1.6 million project to reconstruct Concord Avenue, partially funded by a $190,000 grant from the Ohio Public Works Commission (OPWC), with the remainder covered by local water, sewer, and tax funds. The council also approved the issuance of notes in anticipation of bonds for the 2026 street program, which involved resurfacing six roads and reconstructing Ohio Street, with property owners responsible for a portion of the costs. Additionally, the council discussed applying for a $1.3 million Transportation Alternative Program (TAP) grant to support a $4 million project for phase five of a transportation improvement extending east of the river bridge to Chestnut Street, with prior funding of $2 million already secured. Other legislative items included clarifying the official name of Yorkshire Court. The meeting included motions to suspend rules and pass ordinances related to these projects, reflecting active procurement and capital improvement planning.
