At its regular meeting scheduled for 4:00 p.m. today, Toledo City Council is expected to give first reading to Ordinance 40-17 which would approve the Capital Improvement Program (CIP) budget for 2017 through 2021. It would authorize $13,457,662 for capital projects yet to receive appropriation, and include $4,000,000 for residential road paving. The Mayor recently stated that rather than proposing a transfer of $11,500,000 from the CIP for general operating expenses, her 2017 operating budget proposal will be amended to reduce the CIP transfer amount to $11,067,300. Also at the meeting, Council is expected to vote on the following legislation: Ordinance 22-17 which would authorize an amended five-year agreement with Allstar Disposal and Recycling, LLC for waste generated in Toledo and disposed at the Hoffman Road Landfill. The new contract would increase the authorized waste tonnage from 1,000 to 4,000 tons per year and increase annual revenue to the City from $30,000 to $120,000 per year. Ordinance 32-17 which would permit target shooting at indoor gun clubs, and allow firearms to be discharged during wildlife management activities undertaken by a governmental or quasi-governmental entity with state approval. The ordinance also clarifies that firearms may be discharged by government officials acting in their course of duty, and by anyone acting in their self-defense. Ordinance 37-17 which would include “gender identity” as a protected class under Toledo employment and real estate discrimination law, and also prohibit use of sexual orientation and gender identity change therapy by mental health providers within the City. Ordinance 46-17 which would adopt the 2016 Downtown Toledo Master Plan as an amendment to the Toledo 20/20 Comprehensive Plan. The plan was commissioned by the 22nd Century Committee, which is a public-private partnership of organizations that includes the Toledo Regional Chamber of Commerce, to assist in the revitalization of downtown Toledo. All Council meetings are held in Council Chambers on the first floor of One Government Center, located on Jackson Boulevard in downtown Toledo.
