Brandstein said he has repeatedly chipped the ice with a 16‑pound sledgehammer to keep the entrance passable and worries someone could slip and be seriously injured.

Brandstein told council he contacted city staff and the contractor after the resurfacing; the contractor shaved the curb but Brandstein said it was not enough and the gutter remained too high. He said a sewer line or cast‑iron structure in the area appears raised and that he experienced ice buildup again in January. Brandstein said he has photographic evidence and requested a city staff member visit the site to review the condition with him and develop a solution.

City officials on the dais acknowledged the complaint and said staff would have someone follow up; Brandstein provided contact information and asked for an on‑site inspection.

No formal action or vote occurred; the record shows a request for staff follow‑up and a promise that city staff would reach out to the resident to assess the condition.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","City Council Meeting 2/19/2025","oneSentenceSummary","A Sunbury homeowner said recent street resurfacing left a curb and gutter set too high, causing water to pool and freeze at the bottom of his driveway; he asked the city to inspect and work with him on a solution after breaking ice with a sledgehammer several winter days.","taxTitle","Sunbury City, Delaware County, Ohio","taxId",53946,"location","Ohio","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":77,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":78,"_41":79,"_43":80,"_45":81,"_47":82,"_49":83,"_51":84,"_53":85,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":86,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":87,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6317276,"City engineer report: Columbus Street parking lot and Cheshire Road lift station set for March bid openings",109,997000,1106000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2374049-d03f478970d9c954b1e0dbdb3c07a391&start=997&end=1106","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2374049-d03f478970d9c954b1e0dbdb3c07a391/thumbnail_997000.jpg","/articles/6317276/Ohio/City-engineer-report-Columbus-Street-parking-lot-and-Cheshire-Road-lift-station-set-for-March-bid-openings","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6317276-d85812186dfe799a7dd5d371ceaf0435/orig.mp4?Expires=1771143128&Signature=fSkDZVSdhdZLBOztXf9QOn9y90BwuOXemmvyu7YheesZxVPLK-BPeMvK1ViV2zAv2IMbrcmxBHcK8mRyRWuFgtOOxmyrH5z0m5N5o36AQPltnPDyqYA8aObVUDoffyWT-IY2MOHFW8OdJ7sxtuBzEGj7BwsgQVrtB~NZyW6sbHHdWLXzl6CqXAn4qEkJnsPgy5AMLDpOurkBnErdUbHit6gduDrbhQSmZAYlbtzCqbVpB9ay-22~9qpMCGGTtToNpm2f9Ib~QSJ~MyIq5B3pn4CzxeoxqLrJnr61V~FGMkRgySCsAAp6eXW6U5i6VSWWr2zkWLOQhk6~~QRVeIWeGg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","City Administrator Daryl Hennessy, covering the engineer’s report in the engineer’s absence, told council two sanitary and parking projects are now out to bid.

The Columbus Street parking‑lot project at the corner of Columbus and Granville streets is out for bid with a bid opening scheduled for March 11; the design includes pervious pavement to address stormwater management. The Cheshire Road lift station upgrades are out to bid with a March 12 opening; Hennessy said those upgrades are necessary to support the Kidner Crossing development and will be accompanied by pipe repair work in the same area.

Hennessy said both projects should return to council in April for contractor recommendation and award. He also described the lift station work as connected to sanitary‑system capacity management, noting one way to expand wastewater treatment capacity is to limit inflow and infiltration into the system.

No council action was taken on the two projects during the meeting; the administration will bring contractor recommendations to council after bid openings.","Sunbury’s engineer report (presented by the city administrator) said the Columbus Street parking-lot project is out to bid with a March 11 opening; Cheshire Road lift‑station upgrades, which support the Kidner Crossing development, are out to bid with a March 12 opening.",{"_33":89,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":90,"_41":91,"_43":92,"_45":93,"_47":94,"_49":95,"_51":96,"_53":97,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":98,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":99,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6317280,"Sunbury fire chief reports 1,644 calls in 2024, site work starts for second station at 485 Wilson Road",288,490000,778000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2374049-d03f478970d9c954b1e0dbdb3c07a391&start=490&end=778","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2374049-d03f478970d9c954b1e0dbdb3c07a391/thumbnail_490000.jpg","/articles/6317280/Ohio/Sunbury-fire-chief-reports-1644-calls-in-2024-site-work-starts-for-second-station-at-485-Wilson-Road","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6317280-1794c449a37c5676497a2d42d5196224/orig.mp4?Expires=1771143128&Signature=a-M6fmWod5pMdhj~QYhe1rKkfZD3o-BeS2MgnKkILp2iNWh3j~y3wh5syZph4s6hcUc-eo986Dc5FUAwrwxX2hBpmUsiynk2YU1k7TaTQyGpZIvmu1k5WAsuLNSzZpRUTd548MXaB59Vc3XVUNUjTONhieZtANZcOQmk8QzOGDa0mP7mrSpCBIgTsYax~uwtb7SeuSjJS1FjpyW4Fd9dNtUdOuxKDJTqBJH7DCkRHvSQnxOdeTd6FNnS88vEe2ektK5yTr2tqB-2GZWATNUCP0ldGVFSxmtU3hItF-GAr7UTgmvIs5KEmugIIBs6-SYhKMuIDpJIizbO5M~XUNVi1Q__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Fire Chief Kovacs told Sunbury City Council the fire department responded to 1,644 incidents in 2024, an increase of about 3.5% over 2023, and described staffing and construction updates for a planned second station.

Kovacs said the department hired three full‑time firefighters who started in January to bolster staffing reliability amid continuing part‑time retention challenges. He said the department still relies on part‑time personnel but added full‑time hires to stabilize shifts.

Site work has begun at 485 Wilson Road, just north of Camping World, Kovacs said. He reported earth‑moving started about two weeks before the meeting, foundation work is expected to begin in late March, and the administration currently anticipates substantial completion and occupancy in the first quarter of 2026, subject to weather and concrete schedules. Kovacs said the city will post progress photos online and is planning a groundbreaking ceremony at 4 p.m. on March 10.

During questions, a councilmember asked whether passing vehicles’ sirens could be quieted near a private home; Kovacs said the department could not comply with turning down sirens when responding, calling it “a no go.”

Kovacs said the department will continue monitoring staffing and the new station build timeline and will provide updates to council as project milestones occur.","Fire Chief Kovacs told council 2024 call volume was 1,644 (about 3.5% up from 2023), the city hired three full‑time firefighters who began in January, and site work has started for a second station at 485 Wilson Road with expected occupancy in first quarter 2026; a groundbreaking was scheduled March 10 at 4 p.m.",{"_33":101,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":102,"_41":103,"_43":104,"_45":105,"_47":106,"_49":107,"_51":108,"_53":109,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":110,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":111,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6317285,"Sunbury council approves 12-month electricity aggregation agreement, authorizes administrator to finalize deal",298,1190000,1488000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2374049-d03f478970d9c954b1e0dbdb3c07a391&start=1190&end=1488","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2374049-d03f478970d9c954b1e0dbdb3c07a391/thumbnail_1190000.jpg","/articles/6317285/Ohio/Sunbury-council-approves-12-month-electricity-aggregation-agreement-authorizes-administrator-to-finalize-deal","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6317285-ad117f4c1894b43d9cf85d9d06005c2c/orig.mp4?Expires=1771143128&Signature=ih~wU7NOzI9iu~2PD7gTY9MeHzt6utrulVSZn65JZkZonPN37QG-wXTe7FDBFHqmZ3y5vsLYMhVGFyE0yX9lDyeBvqaoRlWoyqlk8OLmJIF9aUCCrV0ewYXJbtQfSXNpXkYccNAW3hUMnowR3RdENAIKPb0uaOrLKQ4qyaKFw~6Jr8sXxqf3znY55Bd1~BMgAKMp03EkxbloO5YIB4a9U0meGgjad-VazRCIDGDjEaLUez-Lxan2D2KbofB4zH6Jqvv5LKUgP7UYHRZUnBRot0o13gb29~05YEHLWGPSVuzqf2jElCnBKTKS0y7cFsK3o9uC9zGDjfIS40jNcMxO0Q__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Sunbury City Council on a 6-0 roll call approved a resolution authorizing the city administrator to execute a governmental aggregation services agreement to supply electric energy to participating Sunbury residents and businesses.

The resolution authorizes a 12-month contract the city would accept if a refreshed brokered offer remains at or below 9.5 cents per kilowatt-hour. City Administrator Daryl Hennessy and energy broker Fritz Drake of Scioto Energy told council the proposal was intended to secure a rate likely to be lower than the current AEP tariff and noted residents retain the right to opt out and shop for other offers.

Hennessy summarized the broker presentation, saying the aggregation rate recently ran closer to 9 cents per kilowatt-hour after earlier estimates around 6.5¢. Drake said the market is volatile and advised prompt action: the city planned a “refresh” of brokered offers as soon as the next day and would execute the contract only if the rate stayed below the 9.5¢ threshold.

Drake also explained one component of bills known as capacity, which he described as an unavoidable part of customers’ electricity charges that can account for roughly 15%–20% of a bill during peak demand periods. Hennessy said the administration recommended a 12-month term to avoid longer exposure to uncertain future capacity costs.

Council suspended the rules to take up the matter the same night and then voted on the resolution by roll call. The recorded roll call showed six yes votes and no recorded no or abstain votes.

The action does not automatically change any resident’s provider; the program would enroll participating accounts and allow customers to opt out if they choose. The administration said it would publish the final rate and timeline to consumers after the broker refresh and execution.","Sunbury City Council voted to adopt a 12-month governmental aggregation electric supply agreement that the city administrator may execute if the rate remains below 9.5¢/kWh. Council suspended its rules to act the same night; the measure passed unanimously by recorded roll call.","actionData","errors"]
