A RESOLUTION

A RESOLUTION OF CONSENT AUTHORIZING THE OHIO DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION (ODOT) TO PROCEED WITH THE REPLACEMENT OF CERTAIN GUARDRAIL ASSEMBLIES ALONG FAR HILLS AVENUE (STATE ROUTE 48).

A copy of the resolution, having been placed on the desks of each member of Council prior to introduction, was read by title.

Mr. Stephens explained that this is a resolution that involves improvements along Far Hills Avenue. ODOT is planning to replace numerous guardrails along state highways in Montgomery, Miami, and Clark Counties. Far Hills is within the project area and ODOT is seeking the city's consent to replace guardrails.

ODOT's guardrail project is being planned for 2024 but will be separate from the repaving project also scheduled for 2024. The guardrail project will be financed 100% by the state, with no local funding component.

This resolution documents the city's consent to ODOT to proceed with the guardrail project and authorizes the City Manager to sign contracts in connection with the project.

Thereupon, it was moved by Mr. Stephens and seconded by Mrs. Turben that the resolution be passed.

Upon call of the roll on the question of the motion, the following vote was recorded:

There being five (5) yea votes and no (0) nay votes thereon, said resolution was declared duly passed and it was so ordered.

A RESOLUTION

A RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING THE CITY'S COOPERATION WITH THE OHIO DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION (ODOT) IN CONNECTION WITH THE 2024 RESURFACING OF FAR HILLS AVENUE (STATE ROUTE 48).

A copy of the resolution, having been placed on the desks of each member of Council prior to introduction, was read by title.

Mr. Stephens explained that the entire length of Far Hills Avenue within Oakwood is scheduled to be repaved in 2024. Since Far Hills is a state highway, projects like this require cooperation and cost-sharing between the city and the Ohio Department of Transportation. This resolution is the first legislative step of the project. It documents the city's intent to cooperate with ODOT on the project and authorizes the City Manager to sign engineering and other contracts in connection with the project.

Thereupon, it was moved by Mr. Stephens and seconded by Vice Mayor Byington that the resolution be passed.

Upon call of the roll on the question of the motion, the following vote was recorded:

There being five (5) yea votes and no (0) nay votes thereon, said resolution was declared duly passed and it was so ordered.
