Falls Council addressing sanitation vehicles, selling notes

12.11.09

Cuyahoga Falls Conurbation Council is seeking to strengthen the city’s sanitation division by addressing vehicle issues and making close by funds to pay for numerous city improvement projects.

During the Nov. 9 meeting, Council authorized Falls Serving Director Valerie Wax Carr to enter into a contract for the preventive maintenance and repair service for several specialized vehicles and materiel used by the sanitation division. In addition, new legislation was introduced that would allow for the purchases of one international cab and chassis and a 2008 Curbtender demonstrator, both for use by the sanitation allotment.

Also during the meeting, Council approved five ordinances providing for the issuance and sale of notes in anticipation of the issuance of bonds. According to the ordinances, the car-boot sale of $700,000 of notes is to pay for the work at Falls River Square, a festival site including an amphitheater, pavilion, outside ice skating area and water foundation; $150,000 of notes is for the State Road improvements from the south corporation pencil-mark to Portage Trail; and $1 million of notes is for the improvements at the city’s Brookledge Golf Performance.
