Civic issues
Topics getting the most attention in Grove City public meetings, ranked by how frequently they come up.
Water rates and regional cost pressures
Grove City bills residents through Columbus plus a small city surcharge that hasn't gone up since 2006. Columbus controls base rates, and its new fourth water plant means rate increases will keep coming regardless of what Grove City does.
Brookpark Middle School lease saga continues
The repeal of the ordinance limiting city investment at Brookpark Middle School got postponed again until November 16 as council keeps working the lease negotiation with Southwestern City Schools.
Century Village assessment and funding needs
The assessment of work needed at Century Village is finished, and the invoice will be paid soon — but actually doing the repairs will require additional funding beyond what the commission has.
Brookpark Middle School lease reconsideration
A new ordinance would repeal the rule requiring council approval before any more city money or staff time goes into the Brookpark Middle School site, and would direct the city administrator to renegotiate or terminate the lease with Southwestern City Schools.
