Reports from City Personnel — M.10

CITY OF TIFFIN CITY ADMINISTRATOR REPORT TO THE CITY COUNCIL April 17, 2026 • The weather continues to play a major factor in the Forevergreen Road and Jasper Avenue Improvements project (roundabout). However, the forecast for next week looks to be drier which should allow some of the underground work to begin. There also appears to be some ongoing confusion about the access of this intersection during construction. As a reminder, that intersection will remain open while work is underway. • On Thursday morning, we met with LL Pelling and MSA at the fire station to complete a final review of the proposed regrading and repaving of the parking lot on the north side of the building. As previously discussed, this area experiences significant water issues during rain events due to its extremely flat grade. The proposed improvements are intended to better direct water toward the street, reducing pooling near the north entrance and helping prevent water from entering the fire station. • Restoration work for the Original Town Project has been underway for the past two weeks. Overall, the work is progressing well, with only a few areas requiring additional attention. We plan to conduct a walk-through within the next couple of weeks to identify and address any remaining punchlist items. • Included in the packet is a draft Mayoral Proclamation policy for your review. Pending any feedback, revisions, or Council direction, this item will be placed on the next agenda for formal consideration and approval. • The next Joint Entities Meeting is scheduled for Monday, April 20st at 4:30 p.m. with a reception starting at 4:00 p.m. The meeting will be hosted by University Heights at the Kinnick and Carver Rooms located on the first floor of the Courtyard by Marriott, 901 Melrose Avenue. The agenda and meeting packet is attached. • Just a friendly reminder of the results of the special census: Tiffin’s official population is now 7,577, which is an increase of 3,065 residents since the 2020 census. While the process faced challenges, including two shutdowns, the effort ultimately proved worthwhile. These results position the City well as we look ahead to the 2030 census. • Just another friendly reminder the City-Wide Clean-up is scheduled for Saturday, May 9th. We will mirror last year’s process by continuing as a drop-off only process. We will be getting that information on the City’s website and Facebook Page soon.
