2018 Sidewalk Project, Project 1-18 This project reconstructed those sidewalks that were determined to be unsatisfactory and not repaired by owners who were sent notices in the spring of 2017. Of 61 notices that were sent to property owners, 58 were placed on this project. The total cost of the project was $77,232.64 of which $51,551.27 was assessed to property owners. The remainder of the project was paid for with CDBG account D-10 ($18,972.57), and Storm Water Utility ($6,708.80). As part of the sidewalk project 24 ADA ramps were installed at intersections where sidewalks were replaced.
2018 Residential Demolition, Project No. 2-18 See Building Department Section of this Report
ALL-LIMA-RRGS, Project No. 3-18 Work on the project was initiated in April 2018 and the major components completed this year include a 20” waterline relocation, shoo-fly (railroad by-pass) construction, and a 42” storm sewer installation. The project was delayed by CenturyLink for 156 days who failed to relocate their fiber optic cables in advance of the project. The city has filed a claim with the PUCO and placed the utility on notice that delay charges will be forthcoming. As of the end of 2018, the $9,187,542 project is 26% complete.
Melrose Storm Sewer Project – Part 1, Project No. 4-18 1.294 acres were acquired from the Lima First Missionary Church in order to construct the storm water detention basin for Part 1 of the project. The project was bid in October 2018 and a city low bid of $304,120 was recieved. The project was divided into three parts for affordability and Part 1 includes the construction of the detention basin and Part 2 and 3 include improvements to the collection system in the area bounded by Melrose St., O’Conner Ave., Baxter St. and Tremont Ave. The project is funded through the Storm Water Utility and will be constructed in 2019.
Demolition of 500 Liberty Street/ Naval Reserve, Project No. 5-18 The Naval Reserve Training Center was built in the 1940s and has not been used since 1979. The building located at 500 Liberty Street was 24,752 square feet in size and contained asbestos. The total cost of the project was $186,000 with 50% of the cost funded through an ODNR Land and Water Grant and the remainder from a Capital Improvement Bond.
Milburn and Carlisle Alley Storm Sewer Improvements, Project No. 6- 18 Storm water improvements this year included the conversion of an underutilized public alley into a detention facility. The alley was excavated and shaped to create a swale to receive Before storm water runoff from the rear yards of those residents living in the block bounded by Holmes, Carlisle, Catalpa, and Milburn. A perforated pipe After was installed beneath the bottom of the grassy swale to allow it to drain completely for ease of mowing and prevent mosquito breeding. On the east end, the low point, the swale drains into a catch basin equipped with an orifice plate to restrict flow. Because the area is served by a combined sewer, the detention time of the storm water runoff is maximized within the swale and perforated pipe. The total cost of the project was $45,615.84 and was funded by the Storm Water Utility Fund.
Schoonover Lake Dam Rehabilitation and Recreational Improvements Project No. 7- 18 Extensive 2015 emergency repairs to the dam repair will occur as part of the project. In 2008, the Dam Engineering Program within the Division of Water at ODNR noted several deficiencies with the dam. These included the steep slope of the embankment, structure stability of the retaining wall on the riverside, lack of an emergency spillway, and lack of a lake drain. In 2015, there was a slide of approximately a 15-foot section of the dam. Part 1 of the project includes restoration of the dam and the bid cost for this work is $1,188,778. Part 1, 2, and 3 will be constructed in 2019. Part 2 of the project includes restoration of the island on the north end of Schoonover Lake. The fountain at this location stopped working years ago, and the city did not have adequate funds to repair it at the time. Work to the island includes clearing and grubbing of overgrown vegetation, perimeter wall to prevent erosion, new walkways and landscaping, and a memorial to honor the five branches of our armed forces. The cost of Part 2 of the project is $250,757.50. Part 3 of the project includes a bicycle pump track and a floating ADA fishing pier. A bicycle pump track is a small looping trail system of dirt berms and “rollers” (smooth dirt mounds for pumping) designed so that bicyclists can ride the path without peddling. Pumping is the essential skill used to make the bike travel the course by, instead of pedaling, shifting one’s weight and absorbing forces to increase one’s momentum. The ADA fishing pier will be built on the south end of the lake adjacent to the parking lot allowing for a good accessible route. The cost of Part 3 of the project is $226,506. Part 1, 2, and 3 are funded by Ohio Senate Bill 310, ODNR Land and Water grant, and the Capital Improvement bond.
Traffic Signal Improvements, Project No. 9-18 This project includes a traffic signal installation at the intersection of Elm St. and Central Ave. and improvements to the ADA ramps. The project was bid in 2018 and will be constructed in winter & spring of 2019. The total cost of the project is $120,000 with $83,434 funded from OPWC, $25,334 from County Permissive, and $11,232 from the Storm Water Utility.
State Issue I Various Street Resurfacing, Project No. 10-18 Just over 6.9 miles of streets were resurfaced this year at a total cost of $868,430.44. Those streets that had existing curbs in good condition were first planed before being resurfaced. Resurfacing costs were paid for with $687,000 from State Issue I funds, $140,000 from CDBG (D-10) funds, $5,565 from Utility Dept. funds, $5,565 from Storm Water Utility funds, and $30,300.44 from Permissive Funds. The funds from Utilities Dept. and Storm Water Utility were used to adjust sanitary manholes to grade and improve storm drainage prior to resurfacing.
Modular Office Wall System, Project No. 11-18. The project entailed the installation of five partition type offices within a large open area on the 3rd floor of the RTA building located at 200 E. High St. The Law Department relocated their offices from 209 N .Main St. to this location in November 2018. The cost of the wall system including material and labor to install was $28,614.56. Additional costs included minor changes to the sprinkler system, modifications to the lighting circuits and receptacles, and minor changes to the HVAC ductwork. ALL-SR 65/81-8.02/11.34, PID 87188 The project which was designed and managed by ODOT included a grind and resurface with asphalt concrete from Grand Avenue to SR 115. Also included was installation of curb and gutter, sidewalks, and new storm sewer from Northern Avenue to Jacobs Avenue. The total cost of the project was $4,064,873.97 and the city’s portion was $247,911 which was paid from Permissive Funds.
2018 Stormwater Utility
Stormwater Regulations The City is required to maintain compliance with its EPA Municipal Separate Storm Sewer System (MS4) Permit. This permit is a part of the 1972 (revised in 1978) Clean Water Act and the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permit program. The permit includes the following Six Minimum Control Measures:
1. Public Education and Outreach 2. Public Participation /Involvement 3. Illicit Discharge Detection and Elimination 4. Construction Site Runoff Control 5. Post-Construction Runoff Control 6. Pollution Prevention/Good Housekeeping
The City is required to submit an annual report in March to EPA detailing all tasks completed under the six minimum control measures.
Budget During the 2018 calendar year, a total of $2,161,272.61 was collected by the utility, with approximately 34% from residential customers and 66% from commercial customers. Expenditures for the year totaled $2,051,976.99. The chart and graph below depicts general areas of expenditures. Of the total capital expended ($309,080.91), $141,546.43 was directed to infrastructure upgrades, including stormwater improvements for the following projects:
ALL-LIMA-RRGS $94,105.97 Milburn and Carlisle Alley Storm Sewer Improvements $47,440.46
Stormwater Expenditures $2,051,976.99
Engineering/Admin/Maintenance/Labor 52% $1,065,574.66 Professional Services 13% $265,475.30 Interest & Principle 1% $21,438.55 Cost of Operation 19% $390,407.57 Capital 15% $309,080.91
1. Public Education and Outreach and 2. Public Participation /Involvement
Allen Soil and Water Conservation District The City contracted with the Allen Soil and Water Conservation District (SWCD) for assistance with all six (6) of the Minimum Control Measures. The SWCD is a great benefit to both the urban and rural areas of Allen County through their technical and education service expertise. The six (6) control measures they performed for the utility included: 1) Public Education and Outreach, 2) Public Involvement and Participation, 3) Elimination of Illicit Discharges, 4) Construction Site Runoff Control, 5) Post- Construction Runoff Control, and 6) Pollution Prevention/Good Housekeeping. Some of the activities included under these measures were: Conducting stormwater education in the public schools within grades K-12, staff hours toward Ottawa River Cleanup, development of brochures and webpage, development of a Watershed Watchgroup, administer rain barrel and tree rebate programs, Dry Weather monitoring of storm sewer outfalls, analyzing of flows and pollutant characterization of samples collected at outfalls, conduct construction site inspections, post-construction BMP inspections, and conduct SWP3 implementation training to city staff. Funds for the purchase of land at First Missionary Church, amounting to $49,863.50, were obtained through this contract. This land will be used for the construction of a stormwater detention basin under the Melrose Storm Sewer Project. Additionally, a third party was contracted through SWCD to improve drainage at the LCC wetland, benefitting City of Lima residents upstream. The cost associated with this project was $10,260. By contracting through SWCD, we were able to obtain a funding match through the State of Ohio. From this revenue, SWCD was able to leverage State funds at 54% to complete additional work for the City’s Stormwater Utility.
3. Illicit Discharge and Detection
Illicit Discharge Investigation The Engineering Division investigates reports of illicit discharge to the storm sewer system. During 2018, the number of investigations was three. Most investigations result in an immediate action, such as finding a customer discharging a contaminant knowingly or unknowingly to the storm drain. These investigations are documented in the City’s annual report to EPA.
4. Construction Site Runoff and 5. Post Construction Runoff
Private Soil Erosion Control Permits The Engineering Division is the authorized erosion control inspector for all commercial properties, for utility installation, and for grading areas outside the building footprint. A permit is required for earth disturbing activities 1 acre or more in size. The inspector works with each developer to ensure sediment is properly contained on site. In 2018, nine permits were issued for site development
Public Project Soil Erosion Control The Engineering Division is also responsible for inspecting many capital improvement projects, which involve earth-disturbing activities. The City’s plans and specifications call for protection of all storm and combined sewer inlets during and after construction. Soil eroded by water and the impact of sediment-attached nutrients (i.e. phosphorus) to the eroded soil particles results in water quality problems for our streams and river. The inspector requires that the contractor maintain the protection throughout the life of a project and especially following a rain event. Once 70% of grass has established on the project, the sediment and erosion control devices are removed. In 2018, approximately $41,000 was spent for erosion and sediment control on three of our public projects involving earth disturbance.
6. Pollution Prevention and Good Housekeeping
Street Sweeping A large amount of the litter that enters urban drainage systems reaches receiving waters. Urban litter consists mainly of manufactured materials such as brake dust, oil, grease, plastic, paper wrapping, shopping bags, cigarettes and their jackets, and items used in public parks, gardens and fast food outlets. In addition to litter, street dust and dirt accumulation has a detrimental impact on the water quality and ecology of urban areas. To prevent litter and street dust and dirt from contaminating our streams, the Streets Department sweeps all streets a minimum of once a month. In the Central Business District, night sweeping is performed, and parking restrictions are in place to better access the curb line that is the dirtiest part of the street.
2015 2016 2017 2018 Sweeping Debris 2,912 1,910 2,152 1,840 (CY)
Catch Basin Cleaning The Storm Water Utility maintains approximately 5,535 catch basins (CBs) and treatment devices with vactor equipment. The maintenance schedule varies from once per year up to four times per year. In 2017, the Street Department staff collected 643 cubic yards of debris out of our CB sumps. In addition to the cleaning, the Street Department staff repairs basins that come in many different shapes, sizes, and materials.
2015 2016 2017 2018 Catch Basin Debris 351 480 643 570 (CY)
Leaf Collection The Storm Water Utility funds the Street Department’s annual operation to collect leaves along the curb lines of each street. This operation directly keeps material out of the storm sewer system, rivers, and streams. A summary of the material collected annually is provided below.
2015 2016 2017 2018 Leaf Collection (CY) 3,937 3,856 2,813 3410
Stormwater Quality Initiatives Stormwater quality initiatives implemented in 2011 include first and foremost the Storm Water Credits Program. The Credits Program allows for commercial land owners to take credit for storm water quantity and quality practices previously implemented on their properties. These include items such as bio-retention swales, detention and retention ponds, water quality structures, and permeable pavements, to name a few. Altogether, over $39,000 has been issued as credit to various businesses who took advantage of the program. This program also is an incentive for future development inside the City as engineers and architects work to reduce their client’s storm water utility fee in the planning and design of each project.
NPDES Small MS4 General Permit (OHQ000002) Annual Report – EPA Report is available upon request.

Future Storm Water Considerations The City of Lima has acquired land from First Missionary Church and has entered into contract for Part 1 of the Melrose Storm Sewer Improvements project, which involves constructing a stormwater detention basin on this property.
In the future, plans for Part 2 and 3 will be bid out for construction. Parts 2 and 3 will involve the construction of larger capacity storm sewers in the area bounded by Melrose St., O’Connor Ave., Baxter St., and Tremont Ave. The new storm sewers will drain to the detention basin constructed in Part 1.
Currently, approximately 50 acres drains through a 15” storm tile as well as into the combined storm & sanitary sewer. The existing 15” storm sewer was placed in a ditch dating back to 1957. The combined sewer has backed up into several homes throughout the years.
The proposed system will remove stormwater from the combined sewer system, freeing up capacity in the sanitary sewer system and reducing the number of wet basements. Additionally, stormwater bump-outs and bio-swales constructed under Parts 2 and 3 will improve water quality while adding some aesthetically pleasing flowers and grasses to the area.

Since the late 1990’s, LPR&F has served over 70,000 youth in the Lima City Summer Playground Program. The 2018 program was certainly another GREAT year! We served over 3,462 kids (at 3 different sites – Lincoln Park, Robb Park and Faurot Park) during this 8-week program. In addition to daily lunch, structured games, a unique academic & arts component, and fabulous guest speakers, participants enjoyed field trips to the Edgewood Skate Arena, Westgate Lanes, Armstrong Air & Space Museum and OSU-Lima, health & nutrition sessions and weekly boy/girl scout activities. This year our last week of the program included a visit from The Columbus Zoo, a park competition day, and our annual last day pool party/cookout. Once again, we want to thank ALL of our outstanding Program Partners: Salvation Army, Lima City School, St. Rita’s Medical Center. Their continued support allows us to provide this positive quality of life experience for the youth in our community.

Schoonover Pool opened for the 78th Summer Aquatic Season. Once again the pool was a very busy place. As per the norm, the staff did experience some challenges with weather. Even so, we still experienced a pretty good attendance year, with nearly 6,000 visitors taking advantage of public swim, group outings, corporate and private parties, and other special events. A special thanks goes out to the incredible Schoonover Pool Staff, City of Lima Parks Maintenance, Streets, Utilities, Fire, Police and Park Ranger Divisions, and the Lima Allen County Sheriff’s Department for helping to ensure that our community continues to provide a safe and enjoyable aquatic experience.
Enjoying a hot summer day at the Pool!

Volunteers make an impact. The Lima City Parks, Recreation and Forestry Division would like to say “Thank You” to the individuals and organizations that continue to step up and make Lima a better place. These fine people do not do it for the recognition factor. In most cases they want nothing to do with any type of public acknowledgement for their efforts. A simple and sincere thank you is more than enough appreciation.

2018 Concerts in the Park Final Report
For the 52nd year, the Council for the Arts of Greater Lima hosted a series of free summer concerts in Faurot Park’s Rotary Pavilion. This year’s series drew an estimated 3,200 people to seven Sunday night concerts. Attendance for the regular season exceeded averages for recent years (the Council can find no record of attendance prior to 1994). While we had no complete rain-outs, two of the concerts were stopped early as a result of weather, and the attendance reflected that. Happy Daz restaurants joined the Council and the City of Lima Parks and Recreation Department as partner sponsors for the regular series. Metromedia, Hometown Stations, Childers Media and Lima News provide substantial media support. The dates and attendance are listed below. Attendance is based on an estimated physical count of the audience.

City of Lima Urban Forest Council Summary 2018
Each year the City of Lima’s Urban Forest Council continues to work with different entities within the city to create opportunities to educate, promote and further the message of the value of trees in our community. The monthly meetings held by the City of Lima’s Urban Forest Council cover a series of events and activities. The constant communication that is required between the UFC and city engineers with regard to the different streetscape projects is very beneficial for the community. The understanding of the scope of the projects allows all interested parties a voice in the process. This effort helps to minimize the wrong tree in the wrong place issues that burden so many communities. The City of Lima UFC continues to work with our local schools with the annual Arbor Day activities. The event is planned in conjunction with different schools each year. Written literature, a power point presentation and other information are shared with the students through classroom curriculum and other activities prior to the actual tree planting event. During the 2018 year the UFC was also involved with City of Lima Utilities Department and the EPA working together on the Supplemental Environmental Project. The City and the EPA continue working together to enhance the river banks with the removal of damaged trees and replacing them with healthy more vibrant trees as well as a large amount of undergrowth allowing more trees to thrive along the banks enhancing the quality of the tree canopy that exists in our community. City Forester Jim Moscato
Arbor Day
2018
This year’s Arbor Day participants are excited about their newly planted trees!
The 2018 Arbor Day event was held at St. Rose School. The children worked with their teachers and members of the tree commission to learn more about the species of trees planted and the added value that the trees bring to the school campus. Students got their hands dirty as part of the “Hands on” experience of actually planting the trees. The Annual Arbor Day event continues to not only celebrate trees in the community it is also a very important educational opportunity for the youth in our schools.

The street department provides labor in many capacities. Our electrical department works all day on the Fourth providing necessary reactive and proactive measures, insuring a glitch-free day for both food vendors as well as entertainment. Safety fencing to section off the firework blast zone from the public is put in place by our Sign department as well as all banners announcing the event and sponsors. In addition, our sign department sets in place the banners for the Freedom 5K race, which has become tradition the morning of the fourth. Plumbing repairs are skillfully completed prior to the day’s events by our construction and maintenance workers. Throughout the day, City workers from the Street division are in place should any situation warrant their expertise, skill or craftsmanship.

This year the traffic sign department responded to 202 work orders and complaints for maintaining approximately 10,000 traffic and street signs throughout the city. Temporarily 1,000 feet of safety fence was erected, parking areas were established, and advertising banners were installed for the Star- Spangled Spectacular - all of which had to be removed after the holiday. We assisted other departments with erecting signs, electrical work and mechanical work. Restriped approximately 50 miles of centerline stripes and edge lines throughout the city and started applying hot thermoplastic with our new equipment at many intersections. Continue to replace all regulatory signs with more durable and reflective high-intensity sign facings as mandated by the FHWA. Continue to “touch up” pavement markings at intersections including crosswalks, stop bars and turn lane arrows using preformed thermoplastic plastic. Continued a street name sign replacement program with all signs made within our shop making well over 200 signs. Began training employees on the operation of the striping equipment and our new Hot applied thermoplastic equipment. Traffic sign 1262hr. Street signs 979hr. Street painting 343hr.
