Harrison 6 slip scheduled for repair

SCIO – With 74 new water meters in and many connected to where had been needed at residences, Scio village council last week approved the motion to order another 50 meters. Council President Heidi Trice said it was suggested to buy half the meters now instead of all of them at one time. She also noted from prior discussion an increase in water and sewer rates from 2.5 percent to 3 percent next year “with continued improvement…so, we’re coming along.” “That’s not set for this year that will be for the following year,” Heidi reminded council. “It’s already set for 2.5 now.” Village Administrator Jason Tubaugh said in referring to the purchase of more water meters that they would save around $9,400 by not buying the entire amount now. The entire amount would cost the village more than $18,000. “That would keep us going with the momentum we have now,” he stated. “And it should take us at least to August or September to use those additional meters installed…” He added that the rest of the meters needed could be addressed in a future council meeting. Tubaugh continued by stating that if council wants an additional 50 T-6 pumps at just over $11,000 and “all the meters at one time” the cost would be around $30,000. “My recommendation was order half the meters

jim@harrisonnewsherald.com CADIZ – A severe slip on Harrison 6 is finally moving forward towards repair. Most of the road for a certain stretch of ground is completely caved in and impassable and has been in that condition since its shut down back in early November. County Engineer Doug Bachman announced a contract with GeoStabilization International for the fix. He also stated that 87 percent of the funding will come from Ohio Public Works Commission (OPWC) with a total cost announced at $299,890. “It didn’t go through the normal bid process because they have a state bid that they’re able to, it’s a proprietary solution [where] they’re able to submit an estimate and execute the contract,” Bachman explained. He added that this was actually “cheaper” than the conventional contractor who did provide a quote. He told the commissioners they would start the next day (Thursday) as soon as the commissioners signed off on the project. Also, Bachman reported two Road Use Maintenance Agreements (RUMA) with the first involving Harrison 38 for about .28 miles and the

CADIZ – A special meeting of the Harrison County Community Improvement Corporation (HCCIC) was called last Tuesday for the approval of two contracts. President Dale Arbaugh opened the meeting stating that he wanted the approval from the entire board and then expressed his wish to enter into executive session for the purpose of specifying “business strategies.” When the board returned the first contract with Harrison Community Hospital was voted for approval where the HCCIC would be taking ownership of two houses across from the hospital. The price was announced as $20,000 for both but Arbaugh said the future of the property is still up for discussion, with possible demolition as well. The second contract is with Harrison Power LLC for a lay-down yard, which is located across from where the power plant is to be located on Industrial Park Road. Arbaugh said the contract is a three-year lease. Economic Development Director Nick Homrighausen gave an update thanking the commissioners for seeking INFRA Grant (Infrastructure For Rebuilding America).
