Lieutenant Brianne Holmes told the council the police department requested authority to spend up to $81,000 from the Capital Improvement Fund to purchase radios and award contracts. "How many radios are we purchasing?" asked a council member; Holmes answered, "16." She said the radios have "at least 5 years, if not, sometimes longer" of life expectancy.

The law department, represented by Jeff Charles, asked the council to approve an ordinance to settle Upchurch v. City of Toledo in federal court for $35,000; the settlement request was presented for council consideration.

The council was also asked to authorize a three-year subscription agreement with LeadsOnline for investigatory information services, with a total general-fund expenditure not to exceed $174,598.76, and to enter a one-year School Resource Officer agreement with Washington Local Schools that would accept $45,232.29 into the general fund to cover half an officer's salary and benefits for the school year. A Bureau of Justice Assistance grant of $4,418 was presented to purchase a computer to help review videos and process evidentiary downloads.

From the Department of Transportation, Commissioner Christie Sondreant presented a resolution of intent required by the Ohio Public Works Commission to reimburse the capital improvement fund with $155,000 from OPWC for the Dura reconstruction project completed this summer.

From the Department of Public Utilities, Director Doug Stevens requested an ordinance for $150,000 to pay the Ohio EPA annual fee to operate the water system and described plans to shift engineering and loan work for a $75,000,000 elevated storage project to a different loan program with a 30-year rate of about 3.83% rather than an OWDA loan at roughly 5.13% in order to reduce borrowing costs.

Most items were presented as requests for authorization; the chair called for consent or suspension on multiple items and no separate roll-call vote totals were recorded in the transcript for these agenda items.
