Title
Amending Ord. 393-23 for improvements to streetlights along various streets and public rights-of-way in the City of Toledo; and declaring an emergency.

Body
SUMMARY & BACKGROUND:
Ord. 393-23 authorized the improvements and installation of additional streetlights throughout the city. As we have been working to address lighting in poorly lit areas of the city, we will need to work with additional contractors for the lights and poles that are not owned by The Toledo Edison Company. Amending Section 2 of Ord. 393-23 will allow us to enter into contracts with additional companies to improve the street lighting.

Summary
NOW THEREFORE Be it ordained by the Council of the City of Toledo:

SECTION 1. That Section 2 of Ord. 393-23 which reads as follows:

SECTION 2. That the Mayor is authorized to enter into necessary agreements with The Toledo Edison Company for the purposes specified in Section 1, upon terms and conditions acceptable to the Director of Public Service and the Director of Law.

is amended to read as follows:

SECTION 2. That the Mayor is authorized to enter into necessary agreements with The Toledo Edison Company and the Mayor is authorized to accept bids and award contracts for the purposes specified in Section 1, upon terms and conditions as approved by the Director of Law and the Director of Public Service.


SECTION 2. That this Ordinance, being an emergency measure, shall take effect and be in force from and after its passage. The reason for the emergency lies in the fact that it is necessary for the immediate preservation of the public peace, health, safety and property, and for the further reason that the Ordinance must be immediately effective in order to ensure streetlights are properly installed.

Vote on emergency clause: yeas 10, nays 0.

Passed: June 5, 2024, as an emergency measure: yeas 10, nays 0.
