SUMMARY & BACKGROUND:
The City of Toledo, Division of Streets, Bridges & Harbor, needs to supplement the 2019 Assessed Operating Budget to provide additional funding necessary for the purchase of de-icing salt for the upcoming winter season. The City of Toledo has received bids for bulk salt for 2019, with the lowest bid being $65.44 per ton. There are insufficient funds in the current operating budget to purchase the anticipated bulk salt inventory needs for winter season 2019-2020. This legislation will provide the remaining funds needed to replenish the bulk salt storage inventory in time for the coming winter.
