Approving a Petition For Special Assessments for Special

Energy Improvement Projects and a Project Plan for the

Northwest Ohio Advanced Energy Improvement District

under Chapter 1710 of the Ohio Revised Code for

Metropolitan Park District of the Toledo Area and 1030

Water Street, Toledo, Ohio 43611; to authorize and levy

special assessments for the purpose of acquiring, constructing,

and improving certain public improvements in the City of

Toledo in cooperation with the Northwest Ohio Advanced

Energy Improvement District; and declaring an emergency.

SUMMARY & BACKGROUND:

Body:

The City of Toledo, the City of Oregon, the City of Maumee, the

City of Northwood, the City of Perrysburg, the City Sylvania, the

Village of Whitehouse, the Township of Monclova, the Township

of Springfield, the Township of Swanton, the Township of

Sylvania, the Township of Washington, the City of Napoleon, and

the Toledo-Lucas County Port Authority have partnered to create

an Energy Special Improvement District (“District”) under Ohio

Revised Code Chapter 1710 and a non-profit corporation, known

City of Toledo

Page 1

Printed on 11/13/2024

as the Northwest Ohio Advanced Energy Improvement District

(“Corporation”), to govern the District. Property owners within

the District are permitted to make certain “energy efficiency

improvements” to their properties, which constitute a “special

energy improvement project”, and pay for the cost of the special

energy improvement project by way of special assessments in

accordance with the process set out in Chapters 727 and 1710 of

the Ohio Revised Code. Revised Code Section 1710.01(G)

provides that special energy improvement projects (including

energy efficiency improvements) constitute public improvements

and are therefore subject to special assessments.

Metropolitan Park District of the Toledo Area (the “Petitioner”) is

the owner of 100% of the property described on Exhibit A

attached hereto (the “Property”). The Petitioner has caused the

completion of an energy assessment of the Property.

The energy assessment has identified energy conservation

measures, all of which qualify as energy efficiency improvements

as defined in Revised Code Section 1710.01(K), which Petitioner

has determined to proceed with implementing in conjunction with

financing to be secured by and repaid through special

assessments.

Petitioner has submitted to this Council the Petition for Special

Assessments for Special Energy Improvement Projects (the

“Petition”) seeking (i) the addition of certain of its property to the

District and (ii) approval of an amendment to the District’s

comprehensive plan for special energy improvement projects to

include the Metropolitan Park District of the Toledo Area Special

Energy Improvement Project (the “Special Energy Improvement

Project”) and requesting that the Project be undertaken by the

District and that the costs thereof be specially assessed against the

Property specially benefited thereby.

A complete list and description of the Special Energy

Improvement Project is on file with the Clerk of Toledo City

Council and is attached as Exhibit B to this Resolution. Exhibit

B provides the following information for the Special Energy

Improvement Project:

1. Identification of the parcel number and name of the

City of Toledo

Page 2

Printed on 11/13/2024

Property/building to be improved;

2. A description of the nature of the Special Energy

Improvement Project for the particular parcel;

3. The estimated amount of the special assessment to be

levied against the Property (the “Special Assessment) and

the number of years the Special Assessment will be

collected (if not paid in cash within 30 days after the

passage of the assessing ordinance as provided by law).

The total dollar cost of the Special Energy Improvement

Project, including accrued interest and the associated closing

costs, is estimated to be Two Million Four Hundred Four

Thousand Four Hundred Sixty Five and Thirty-Two Cents

($2,404,465.32). Each semi-annual payment represents the

payment of a portion of the principal of and interest, the program

administration fee, and the Lucas County, Ohio special

assessment collection fee due with respect to each semi-annual

payment. The total amount to be assessed against the property

pursuant to this Ordinance is Four Million One Hundred

Twenty-Eight Thousand Two Hundred Fifty-Five and Forty Cents

($4,128,255.40).

The cost of the Project will be funded through a loan from

the Toledo-Lucas County Port Authority’s Northwest Ohio Bond

Fund. Ultimately, the loan will be repaid over time from the

Special Assessments paid by Petitioner. Petitioner, in turn, is

expected to be able to pay a portion of the Special Assessment

from the energy savings estimated to be achieved as a result of the

Special Energy Improvement Project.

The annual Special Assessment for the Special Energy

Improvement Project is to be paid in semi-annual payments over

nineteen years. The plans and specifications for the Special

Energy Improvement Project are on file with the Clerk of Council.

The Petitioner also waives all further notices, hearings, claims for

damages, rights to appeal and other rights of property owners

under the law, including but not limited to those specified in the

Ohio Constitution, Chapter 727 of the Revised Code, the Toledo

City Charter and the Toledo Municipal Code. Petitioner consents

to the immediate imposition of the Special Assessment upon the

Property specially benefited by Special Energy Improvement

Project.

This special assessment process is a voluntary process with

one hundred percent of the cost of the Special Energy

Improvement Project being assigned to the specially benefited

Property. This resolution accepts and approves the petition from

Petitioner, to begin that special assessment process, and is

accompanied by an ordinance to proceed with Petitioner. When

the Special Energy Improvement Project is complete and the final

costs known, an assessing ordinance directing that the necessary

Special Assessment be made against the benefited Property will

be presented to the Council.

programs; and declaring an emergency.

SUMMARY & BACKGROUND:

Body:

Ordinance 160-24 authorized the expenditure of $900,000 for the

purchase of street sweepers for Urban Beautification programs.

The department issued a competitive bid proposal for the purchase

of three (3) Elgin Pelican street sweepers. The winning bid cost

per vehicle is $325,200, so an additional $75,600 is needed to

complete the purchase of a third street sweeper. The department

City of Toledo

Page 9

Printed on 11/13/2024

needs a third sweeper to help replace aging equipment and in

order to have back-up equipment readily available when machines

are out of service. The department has utilized the Elgin Pelican

sweepers for more than thirty years and they are very popular

among municipalities. The time required to request and receive

new equipment can exceed six to twelve months, therefore, the

purchase of this third street sweeper now will save procurement

time in the future and help Urban Beautification optimize its core

services faster.

The division would like to utilize the remaining balance of

ordinance 160-24 to supplement the purchase of a third street

sweeper.

reusable solid form. The facility operates two presses,

handling approximately 250,000 gallons of spentlime.

Quick-fill pumps reduce press cycle time by about 45

minutes, increasing the speed at which solids reach the

Body:

The project takes place at the City of Toledo's Spentlime

Dewatering Facility, where spentlime is processed into a

handling approximately 250,000 gallons of spentlime per

day. The spentlime entering the presses has a solid content

of 4-5%, which increases to 45-50% after processing. A

mixer is used to keep solids suspended; if the mixer

malfunctions, the solids content drops to about 3-4%

before pressing. Higher solid content going into the

presses results in a higher percentage of solids coming out.

Currently, only one mixer is in operation, and there is no

functional spare available if it fails.
