Reports from City Personnel — M.10

CITY OF TIFFIN CITY ADMINISTRATOR REPORT TO THE CITY COUNCIL June 12, 2026 • This week has been a complete washout for Boomerang and the North Park Road Project. Boomerang does plan to be back on site the week of June 15th to proceed with the storm sewer installation work. • The south detour and the west detour have been poured for the Forevergreen Road and Jasper Avenue Improvements project. These detours will take affect this week which maintains the east/west traffic in and out of Tiffin and also maintains the entrance into Kwik Star. The detours will allow the contractor to begin work on the northern portion of the roundabout. • In a follow up discussion on the Highway 6 Improvements Project, the DOT is interested in exploring another cooperative effort to extend the three-lane section of Highway 6, west of Deerview Avenue to the intersection of South Half Moon Avenue. Andrew with MSA and I have had an initial discussion with DOT staff that went well. The City could apply for some Urban-State Traffic Engineering Program (U-STEP) funding and the County could apply for some County-State Traffic Engineering Program (C-STEP) funding through the DOT. The City previously utilized U-STEP funds for the traffic signals at Highway 6 and Roberts Ferry Road. Timeline for this project could be 2029. • Brian Detert is working on a quote for the safety surface for the playground at Woodfield Park. This option, which would replace the existing safety mulch, is something we have discussed briefly in the past. The Public Works Department recently completed mulching several playgrounds throughout the City’s Park system however, no additional safety mulch was installed at Woodfield Park. Brian and I plan to place this item on the work session agenda for discussion at the July 7th meeting.
