The Water Quality Committee of the Toledo City Council met on Wednesday, May 13, 2026, at 4:00 p.m. in City Council Chambers to discuss three main agenda items: the residential water disconnection and reconnection plan (water shut-offs), an update on the Advanced Metering Infrastructure (AMI) project, and the spent lime contract (Ordinance 185-26). The meeting was chaired by Councilman Adam Martinez, with members Theresa Morris and Nick Komives present; Erin Kramer and Vanice Williams were absent. Also present were Councilmembers Gaddis, Jones, and Serantu. The meeting included presentations from Megan Robeson, Chief of Operations, and Patika Bannister, Director of Public Works, along with public comment and significant deliberation on the spent lime contract. Water Disconnection/Reconnection Plan - Megan Robeson and Patika Bannister presented a comprehensive plan to resume residential water disconnections for non-payment, effective June 1, 2026. The plan emphasizes a compassionate yet firm approach, balancing the need to collect past-due balances with the goal of keeping residents connected. - The process includes a five-step communication timeline: initial bill, first reminder, formal warning, final notice with an eight-day occupant letter, a seven-day door hanger, and finally disconnection. Service can be restored within 48 hours of payment or setting up a payment plan. - About 17% of 93,000 active residential accounts are delinquent. The first group to be addressed is 102 customers who had service disconnected pre-moratorium and have made no subsequent payments. - Council members expressed concerns about seniors, families with multiple properties (LLCs owing over $10,000), and the need for targeted outreach. Councilman Serantu urged a shorter timeline (40–50 days instead of 75) and questioned whether the process could be expedited. - Council President Williams shared personal experience with water shut-offs as a child and stressed the importance of compassionate assistance for families under $1,000 delinquent. - Public comment: Bob Reinbold noted issues with missing bills during billing system conversion and suggested using sewer liens as a collection tool. He also referenced a state bill that may prohibit placing liens on real property. AMI Meter Project Update - The AMI (smart meter) program has exchanged 122,363 meters, with 2,410 remaining. The read rate is 98% (Nov 2025–Apr 2026). - 752 exchanges were completed in the last month, and 1,128 door tags have been hung. 634 customers have had service disconnected for noncompliance with meter exchange requirements. - Council discussed the remaining meters and the timeline (18–24 months) due to difficult installations. Councilman Serantu questioned the need for a private consultant ($800K contract) to supervise installations, requesting training for city employees. The administration clarified the consultant's scope includes asset management and technology optimization, not just meter exchanges. - Councilmember Gaddis requested district-level data on remaining meters and possible coupling with emergency repair funding. Spent Lime Contract (Ordinance 185-26) - Andy McClure, Commissioner of Plant Operations, presented the spent lime program: 50,000 dry tons produced annually, with a $5.5 million annual budget for removal from lagoons. Without accelerated removal, lagoons would not be cleaned until 2082. - The contract under consideration is for spent lime removal and beneficial reuse (primarily agricultural). Rocky Ridge is the recommended lowest bidder, but the award has been delayed due to budget and legislative timelines. - Councilmember Gaddis raised serious concerns about Rocky Ridge's storage site on Consol Street in East Toledo, citing dust, runoff, and health complaints from residents. Three letters from residents were read into the record describing respiratory issues, environmental damage, and lack of public notification. - Councilmembers requested information on past contract performance (whether Rocky Ridge sought additional payments) and the bid amounts. The administration confirmed Rocky Ridge was the lowest bidder but noted that the Board of Awards had initially recommended Polcat, a competing bidder. - Public comment: Bob Reinbold claimed the price difference between bids is only $0.41 per cubic yard. He stated that Polcat was told they had been selected in January 2026, only to be overruled weeks later. Zach Guy of Polcat confirmed receiving a phone call and email stating they were chosen, then being later told Rocky Ridge would be awarded the contract. He expressed frustration over the lack of transparency. - Councilman Martinez requested referral to legal for examination of the bidding process, including debarment language and Board of Awards records. Key Outcomes - Water Disconnection Plan: Approved to resume disconnections on June 1, 2026, with a focus on the 102 most overdue accounts first. The administration will continue outreach and payment plan assistance. - AMI Project: No vote was taken; continued monitoring of remaining installs and contractor costs will proceed. Administrative referrals were made for district-level data and potential funding for repairs. - Spent Lime Contract: No final decision was made. Council directed referrals to the Law Department for: (1) bid documentation and Board of Awards recommendations, (2) debarment language and compliance history of Rocky Ridge, (3) past contract supplementals paid to Rocky Ridge, and (4) clarification on communication with Polcat. The committee will revisit the issue pending legal review.

The Board of Honor met on May 7, 2026, at 2:00 PM in City Council Chambers, chaired by Barbara Floyd. The board considered three agenda items: two street-naming requests (recommendations to city council) and a request to remove an existing honorary street sign. The meeting included public testimony, board deliberation, and votes. Public Comments & Testimony - Ranshea Allison (sponsor of Kimani Latig designation) testified that she was inspired by God to advocate for honoring Kimani Latig, a 13-year-old girl who was murdered. Allison described Kimani as an honor student, basketball player, and an "old soul," and emphasized remembering her "triumph" not the tragedy. She noted that a community memorial exists on Wilmot Street. - Stephanie Russia (Fremont, Ohio) spoke in support of the Kimani Latig designation, stating that honoring young lives could help address suicide and show that children matter. - Lee Paul (nephew of Sister Margaret Ann Paul) requested removal of the Monsignor Jerome Schmidt sign. He described his aunt's accomplishments as a nun and hospital administrator, and her 1980 murder by Father Gerald Robinson. He testified that Deputy Chief Ray Vetter and Monsignor Schmidt delayed justice for 26 years, based on sworn testimony from the 2006 trial. - Claudia Versalati (advocate) detailed the investigation, alleging Monsignor Schmidt intervened in the interrogation of Father Robinson, causing the case to stall. She stated that the sign was dedicated on the anniversary of the murder and that its presence emboldens wrong behavior. - Tom Antonini (General Counsel, Diocese of Toledo) read a statement asserting that Monsignor Schmidt is an honored citizen and that no competent authority has suggested any wrongdoing. - Jim Vetter (son of Deputy Chief Ray Vetter) argued that Monsignor Schmidt was brought in to help obtain a confession, not to cover up the murder. He cited a 1986 Blade article where his father expressed disappointment in not solving the case. - Andrea Luna (retired Lucas County Sheriff's Office) supported removal, stating that two sworn law enforcement officers testified that Monsignor Schmidt interfered, and that DNA was destroyed. She noted that another sign (for Monsignor Doyle, at a Catholic charity building) was removed based on unsworn allegations. Discussion Items - Street Naming for Kimani Latig (Wilmot Street): Board members discussed whether a 13-year-old victim of tragedy meets the criteria for honorary street naming, which typically requires community contribution. Some members argued that even a short life can have impact and that honoring her sends a message to young people. The board voted 5–0 (all present) to recommend approval to city council. Chair Floyd clarified that the board's decision is a recommendation, not final. - Street Naming for Lee Liddell and Vernon Liddell (Junction Avenue and Indiana Avenue): Councilwoman Sandra McPherson presented the request, noting that Lee Liddell Sr. opened a barber shop in the 1960s, later moved to Junction Avenue, and that his nephew Vernon Liddell continued the business. The barbershop is the last surviving African American business from the Dor Street area. Discussion focused on sign placement; it was agreed to rename one street sign at the intersection. The board voted unanimously to recommend approval. - Request to Remove Monsignor Jerome Schmidt Street Sign: The board heard extensive testimony for and against removal. Board members expressed concerns about adjudicating a 26-year-old case, the need for procedural clarity for removal requests, and the lack of institutional knowledge about prior repeals. Councilwoman McPherson suggested further investigation into whether the city has ever removed an honorary name. A motion to defer the vote for 30 days to allow additional research (including the original 2002 ordinance and city policy on removals) was made and seconded. Key Outcomes - Kimani Latig street designation: Recommended to city council (unanimous). - Lee and Vernon Liddell street designation: Recommended to city council (unanimous). - Monsignor Jerome Schmidt sign removal: Vote deferred for 30 days (motion carried 3–1; Spitler, Collins, Stooky in favor; Floyd opposed). The clerk will schedule a new meeting within 30 days and notify all parties. The board will research the original ordinance and any prior removal processes.

The City of Toledo Board of Revision of Assessments met on May 7, 2026, to consider two alley vacation resolutions. The board, acting in an advisory capacity to city council, heard testimony from city engineering, applicants, and reviewed costs before making recommendations. Both cases involved requests to vacate public alley segments, with the board recommending approval in one case and disapproval in the other. Discussion Items Resolution 524‑25 – Vacation of an alley at 2014 Consol Street (Diocese of Toledo) - Engineering Services representative Mr. Sweeney reported that most of the alley had been previously vacated, but a sanitary sewer in the corner required a reserved easement. The city did not object to the vacation, recommending approval with a reservation of a full‑width easement for the utility area until it could be redefined. - Applicant Tom Antonini (general counsel for the Diocese of Toledo) and Rob Keelhan (Signature Associates broker) explained that the vacation was part of the proposed sale of the former St. Stephen School, a key part of the parish’s long‑term plans. They noted that legal description errors had delayed the process, but a corrected description had been prepared. The applicant agreed to maintain utility easements and to install a knockbox for fire access. - No public comments were offered. The board voted unanimously (3‑0) to recommend approval to city council. Resolution 435‑25 – Vacation of a 15‑foot alley adjacent to lots in Clifton Park (Kevin Roscoe) - Mr. Sweeney explained that the alley segment was originally required as a turnaround when a portion of the alley was vacated for a nearby development. Vacating this segment would create a dead‑end alley, preventing vehicles from turning around, which the city’s plan commission and staff had recommended against. Overhead utilities in the area would also require a reserved easement. - The applicant, Kevin Roscoe, was not present; the board noted he had not attended recent related meetings. - The board moved to recommend disapproval on the merits (3‑0), with the alternative recommendation that if city council were inclined to approve the vacation, the costs ($1,248.01) should be assessed as presented. Key Outcomes - Resolution 524‑25: Recommended for approval (3‑0), with a condition that a full‑width easement be reserved for the utility area until it can be redefined. The matter will be forwarded to city council for final action. - Resolution 435‑25: Recommended for disapproval (3‑0) due to the creation of a dead‑end alley and adverse impacts on surrounding property owners. The board noted the recommended costs for city council’s alternative consideration. - The board also recognized the retirement of a long‑serving staff member (Andy), who had contributed 26 years to the board’s work.

The Toledo City Council held an agenda review meeting on May 6, 2026, beginning at 7:00 PM. All 11 council members were present. The meeting featured presentations and discussions on numerous items including a new refuse contract, bulk waste enforcement, solid waste fee increases, youth programming, street safety projects, and police operations.

Key changes: a $1,000 fine per violation, a two-step process with a 15-day compliance window, potential second fine, and city cleanup after 30-45 days. Council members raised concerns about the 45-day timeline, fine amount (some suggested $10,000 or tiered fines), collection of fines from out-of-state landlords, and the need to involve the business community. The item was referred to committee alongside the solid waste discussion. - Item 3: Municipal Solid Waste Fee Increase – Melanie Campbell, Finance, proposed increasing monthly fees from $11.50/$6.50 to $18.50/$10.50 for non-homestead/homestead properties, with further increases in 2027 and 2028 to align with collection costs. Last increase was in 2016. Councilman Martinez questioned if the new rates would cover the expected contract costs.
