Body
SUMMARY & BACKGROUND:
In conjunction with the City of Toledo's acquisition of federal and state funding sources for infrastructure improvements, the city also works with and through the Lake Erie West Regional Council, formerly known as TMACOG. The City's 2026 transportation assessment fee to Lake Erie West Regional Council for their services is $55,765. Funds have been budgeted and are available in the 2026 Division of Engineering Services’ operating budget to provide for this payment.
The Stormwater Coalition is made up of governments, universities, and non-government groups that contribute annual membership dues to Lake Erie West Regional Council. The 2026 Mass Media Campaign works to educate the public, provide opportunities for public involvement, and promote sound policies and practices to manage storm water runoff in our communities to help preserve Lake Erie. Funds for these dues and media campaign total $44,342 and have been budgeted and are available in the 2026 Division of Environmental Services’ operating budget to provide for this payment.
Lastly, this ordinance authorizes payment of the city’s 2026 general purpose government membership fee from the General Fund in the amount of $82,079. Funds have been budgeted and are available in the 2026 General Fund/Non-Departmental operating budget to provide for this payment.
