By Tim Schneider, Toledo Regional Chamber of Commerce
At its regular meeting at 4:00 p.m. today, Toledo City Council is expected to refer to committee Ordinance 85-20 which would update building materials and colors permitted for multi-family, commercial, mixed-use, institutional, and large-scale retail developments citywide. The changes include standards for predominant, accent and prohibited materials and colors, which are not currently clarified in city building code. Action on the ordinance was delayed previously by City Council at its voting session on February 25, despite being recommended for approval by the Toledo Plan Commission and City Council’s Zoning & Planning Committee. The committee meeting to again review the ordinance is yet to be scheduled.
- Three ordinances which would approve Mayor Wade Kapszukiewicz’s nomination of individuals to serve three-year terms on boards under the Division of Building Inspection: Ordinance 91-20 to appoint Mary Glowacki to the Board of Zoning Appeals; Ordinance 92-20 to appoint Ric Herrold, Beth Holt, Dan Morey, James Mossing, David Rumpf, and Dean Frederick to the Home Improvement & Remodeling Board of Control; and Ordinance 93-20 to appoint Clint Dockery to the HVAC Board of Control.
- Ordinance 102-20 which would approve $1.3 million from the Storm Water Utility Improvement Fund for the construction of drainage improvement projects at various locations. The spending is part of an annual program that targets nuisance and chronic drainage issues, replacement of old infrastructure, and capacity improvements throughout the city.
- Ordinance 105-20 which would approve $4 million from the Capital Improvement Program (CIP) Fund for various residential road improvements. The spending is for projects that utilize 100 percent city capital funds to rebuild or resurface such streets. Appropriation of the funds were included in the 2020 CIP budget approved last week by City Council.
All Council meetings, including committee hearings, are held in Council Chambers on the first floor of One Government Center located on Jackson Boulevard in downtown Toledo.
