This Week in Lima City Council

Lima City Council will hold its first regular meeting of August Monday night with a full agenda facing the legislative body.

Council will be asked to accept a Safe Neighborhood Anti-Heroin Grant from the Attorney Generals Office. The grant will reimburse the Police Department for two patrol officers salaries, for two years.

Council will receive a communication from Ohio State University in Columbus about capital projects the University wants to do at it's Lima Regional Campus. The plan is to resurface roads and parking lots, do HVAC repairs and replacements, and upgrade campus security. This will cost nearly $1.7 million.

Council will vote on a number of ordinances related to the new Stadium Park planned for property located next to the newly named Spartan Stadium. Council will have to amend a number of ordinances since they all refer to 'Lima Stadium', which no longer exists. The ordinances will accept donations of property, finalize property deals and okay the use of state capital improvement money to build the park.

And finally, council will enter into a nearly $900,000 contract with Bluffton Paving to complete various paving projects in the city.

The meeting begins at 7 Monday night in Council Chambers at the Lima Municipal Center.
