Explanation
1. BACKGROUND
This ordinance authorizes the Director of Public Service to grant consent and propose cooperation with the Ohio Department of Transportation (ODOT) for the FRA-33-4.35 project, PID 107773.
The aforementioned project, slated to commence in spring 2020 and to be completed in summer 2020, encompasses repairing and overlaying the stretch of US 33 from 0.12 miles south of Martin Road to River Park Road, a portion of which is located within City limits.
ODOT will ask the City to approve final legislation for the project at a later date. At that time, the Director of Public Service shall seek Council approval to encumber and expend funds to support the local share of associated construction costs.

3. EMERGENCY DESIGNATION
Emergency action is requested to allow ODOT to maintain the planned project schedule and to promote highway safety.
