The Chillicothe City Council approved ordinances August 14th that accepted bids. City Clerk Amy Hess confirms one was from Toys for Trucks for $22,506.96 for decals and equipment for the K-9 vehicle. The other was from Gerald Perry Tennis Company for $30,350 for the conversion of two tennis courts into six permanent pickleball courts in Simpson Park.
The city council approved an agreement and ordinance authorizing a cooperative agreement between the City of Chillicothe and Livingston County relating to enforcement of traffic rules, regulations, and controls on Hornet Road. Another ordinance was approved that involved the installation of a stop sign on Hornet Road at the main entrance to Chillicothe High School.
Hess reports new owners of a vacant building at 601 Webster Street asked for permission to cut away six to 12 feet of sidewalk on the east side of the building to create parking spots. The council approved the request, and the owners are to meet with the codes enforcement officer and/or police department on how to stripe the parking spots, either angled or at 90 degrees.
