EAST LIVERPOOL February was a busy month, according to Mayor Greg Bricker.
In addition to all the snow and ice removal and repairs to city infrastructure by city employees, there was a lot of work done that residents didn’t see.
During his report at Monday’s regular council meeting, Mayor Bricker also explained that his office has been busy, submitting projects for the state budget. In addition to the wellness center and trails, the city also is working on a transportation initiative and hoping to get $150,000 for blight removal and rehabilitation of housing within the city. “We hope to get that project off the ground by next month,” he continued. “We have no shortage of problems when it comes to our housing.”

EAST LIVERPOOL City council’s Finance Committee agreed Tuesday to forward three pieces of legislation to council-as-a-whole, including the purchase of a new street sweeper.
The Elgin Whirlwind street sweeper will be purchased from Jack Doheny Companies for $305,842 through the state’s cooperative purchasing program.
According to Safety-Service Director David Dawson, the sweeper itself will run $291,283 plus a five-year warranty and lease agreement.
Half of the cost will be covered by moneys for the R&R fund, while the water and stormwater funds will split the remainder.
Councilman Ray Perorazio, who sits of the Finance Committee, was concerned that the sweeper was the right one due to issues with its predecessor.
