PUBLIC NOTICE
VILLAGE OF GRANVILLE

The Granville Village Council adopted the following legislation at the September 15, 2010 regular meeting:

a. Ordinance No. 13-2010, An Ordinance to Amend Section 921.07 of the Codified Ordinances to Adjust Sewer Regulations and Charges

This ordinance increases the base sewer rate from $3.90 to $5.30 per one thousand gallons.  That rate adjustment would be effective for wastewater usage beginning on November 1, 2010.  That usage would be reflected in the meter readings beginning December 1, 2010 and reflected in the bills sent out on January 1, 2011.  This legislation, along with the water rate, increases the combined wastewater and water base rate to $8.85 per one thousand gallons.

The wastewater and water funds are enterprise funds, which mean that they are self-supporting and must produce sufficient revenue to cover their expenses.  The Village has not had a utility rate increase since 2005.  During that period, the costs of operating the utility plants have increased due to the price of fuel, chemicals, electricity, supplies, personnel, and insurance.  These increases are needed to ensure that the water and wastewater funds remain self-supporting.

b. Ordinance No. 14-2010, An Ordinance to Amend Section 925.18 of the Codified Ordinances to Adjust Water Regulations and Charges

This ordinance increases the base water rate from $3.40 to $3.55 per one thousand gallons.  That rate adjustment would be effective for water usage beginning on November 1, 2010.  That usage would be reflected in the meter readings beginning December 1, 2010 and reflected in the bills sent out on January 1, 2011.  This legislation, along with the wastewater rate, increases the combined water and wastewater base rate to $8.85 per one thousand gallons.

c. Resolution No. 2010-39, A Resolution Authorizing the Village Manager to Prepare and Submit an Application to Participate in the Ohio Public Works Commission State Capital Improvement Program and to Execute Contracts as Required

This resolution authorizes the Village Manager to submit and application to the Ohio Public Works Commission, as part of the Issue 2 capital improvement program, for funding assistance for the Village’s 2011 roadway resurfacing projects.  Those scheduled projects include:  Glyn Tawel Drive, Bedwyn Bach Lane, Westgate Drive, West College Street (from Thresher to the end), Thresher Street and Merywen Circle.  These listed streets are proposed to be milled and paved at an estimated cost of $425,000.

d. Resolution No. 2010-40, A Resolution Accepting the Amounts and Rates as Determined by the Budget Commission and Authorizing the Necessary Tax Levies and Certifying Them to the County Auditor

The annual resolution is required to accept the inside property tax millage (2.5 mills) and estimated revenues that were determined by the Licking County Budget Commission.  (Inside Millage is unvoted millage that is within the 10-mill statutory limitation on unvoted property taxes.)  The millage is unchanged from prior years and will generate approximately $408,000 in revenue for the Village.

All legislation is available for review at the Village Offices during regular business hours, which are normally 8:00am - 4:30pm, Monday through Friday. The Village Offices are located at 141 East Broadway.

PUBLIC NOTICE
VILLAGE OF GRANVILLE

The Granville Village Council adopted the following legislation at the September 1, 2010 regular meeting:

a. Ordinance No. 15-2010, An Ordinance to Amend Ordinance No. 20-09 to Provide for Adjustments to the Annual Budget for the Fiscal Year 2010 and to Revise Sums for Operating Expenses for Legal Expenses and Mayor’s Court

This ordinance increases the appropriations for legal services in the Mayor’s Court account and in the Law account.  Staff was too conservative in preparing the budget with regard to legal services for 2010.  In 2009, $90,000 was budgeted after spending between $82,000 to $85,000 in 2007 and 2008.  However, this year only $65,000 was budgeted and that appropriation is almost exhausted.  Legal services are running higher than anticipated this year due to costs associated with the police negotiations that carried over into 2010 and participation in a fact finding session during those negotiations.  There is also an increase of $18,000 for contractual services in the Mayor’s Court account.

b.  Resolution No. 2010-37, A Resolution to Authorize the Village Manager to Advertise for Bids for the Purchase of Water Treatment Chemicals

This resolution authorizes the Village Manager to advertise for bids for the purchase of water treatment chemicals.  Advertising for bids at this time provides the necessary information to include the cost of these chemicals as part of the 2011 operating budget.

c. Resolution No. 2010-38, A Resolution to Authorize the Village Manager to Advertise for Bids for the Construction of Water and Sewer Lines to Serve the Recently Annexed Mill District Properties

The resolution authorizes the Village Manager to advertise for bids for the extension of water and sewer lines to the newly annexed Mill District properties.  The extension of those lines is required by the annexation agreement.  This resolution only seeks bids, the actual awarding of a contract would need to be approved by Council.

All legislation is available for review at the Village Offices during regular business hours, which are normally 8:00am - 4:30pm, Monday through Friday. The Village Offices are located at 141 East Broadway.
