The City Council via Resolution #2023-098 accepted and certified the application as complete for a Planned Unit Development for a 30-acre parcel located in the northeast quadrant of the City fronting Steward Place to the southwest and North Road to the north. The resolution also referred the application for a coordinated staff review, City Planning Commission review and Ontario County Planning Board review. Attached are memorandum regarding each referral. A public hearing was held on December 7, 2023 regarding this PUD application. Within 60 days after the public hearing, the City Council must render a decision on the application, either approving or disapproving the sketch plan with or without conditions. As such, a decision must be rendered at the February 1, 2024 City Council meeting.
The City Council will be meeting on Saturday, January 27, 2024 from 10 AM to 3 PM for a strategic planning session.
In January 2022, the City ordered a replacement leaf vacuum truck. Unfortunately, the supply chain and production issues that started during the COVID Pandemic persist. The new truck has been delayed with the latest estimate for arrival being December 2025 (two leaf seasons away). In order to keep the current leaf vacuum truck working for another two seasons, significant investment replacement parts and repairs would be necessary and reliability and safety concerns/issues would remain. Further, we have been informed that the production delays will result in the manufacturer increasing the price (has occurred with other equipment). As such, we searched and identified an alternative leaf vacuum truck from a different manufacturer on a purchasing cooperative that would be able to deliver the new truck in August 2024. The new truck would still have all the basic components that were specified and will cost approximately $50,000 more than the $225,000 truck on order ($225,000 does not include the increase). City Staff recommends canceling the existing order, utilizing those funds, and appropriating an additional $50,000 from the Capital Reserve to purchase a new leaf vacuum truck at a total cost of $275,000.
