______________________________________________________________________________ CITY OF TIFFIN CITY ADMINISTRATOR REPORT TO THE CITY COUNCIL May 16, 2025 • Items I-7 and I-8 – These items are back on the agenda as the proposed buyers of the property needed to make some changes to both agreements to be more site specific to their project. Both agreements have been reviewed and partially revised by Crystal. • Item K-2 – Due to a mathematical clerical error, this item is back on the agenda with the corrected amount for the pay application. • Item K-5 – This Memorandum of Understanding is to allow progress to continue for the Homemakers project while the attorney’s draft a final agreement that describes the MOU into more detail. That agreement will come back to the council for formal approval within the next couple of meetings. • I received communication from the Special Census Management Team confirming that they have been granted a temporary hiring waiver, enabling them to hire temporary field staff to support the Special Census program through the remainder of the 2025 calendar year. What that means for us is the earliest our Special Census could be conducted is October 19, 2025. However, the internet self-response period would begin approximately one month prior to the official Census Day, with field data collection starting shortly thereafter. The next step is to meet with the Census team to review the revised schedule and determine the appropriate follow-up actions moving forward. • The box culvert/pedestrian tunnel for the North Park Road Project is supposed to be delivered on May 21st. Boomerang is currently working on the storm sewer and watermain work around the box culvert. Traffic seems to have somewhat normalized around the road closure as we’ve had far less concerns and complaints over the last 10 days. • Work has gone well on the widening of Roberts Ferry Road for the turn lanes onto West Village Drive. Dirt work behind the curbs and striping of the road will continue next week. • Just a friendly reminder that the Mayor, Council Person Schnedler and I will be at the ICSC Economic Development Conference Monday – Wednesday of next week. We will all remote into the council meeting on Tuesday night. • We are still working on K-1. As soon as it is finished on Monday, it will be inserted into the packet.
