Council approves $750,000 BAN for design of new Public Works facility

Fairborn City Council unanimously adopted Ordinance No. 3-18 on Jan. 16 to issue up to $750,000 in bond anticipation notes to pay for the design and related costs of a new Public Works facility.

Randy Groves, the city's Finance Director, described the BAN as a new issue intended to fund design work. Deputy Mayor Marilyn McCauley said she was glad the city is "getting a decent place for many staff to work," reflecting Council support for improved facilities. Council waived further readings and adopted the ordinance by a unanimous voice vote.

The meeting record does not include a detailed construction timetable or a full project cost estimate for building and equipping the facility; the ordinance authorizes design financing and sets no explicit construction schedule.
