Ridgeville water contract sparks council opposition
North Ridgeville and Elyria officials debate the proposed water agreement as North Ridgeville prepares to take control of its system Sept 1 while Elyria would handle billing and maintenance through year end. The plan includes per customer meter reading charges of 70 cents, deemed too low by Elyria who seeks about 1.50. Negotiations on water rates could follow similar Amherst terms with five year renegotiation clauses. Council granted first reading to authorize the contract, with Lorain County commissioners as a remaining hurdle.

Lorain city drains contingency fund for worker pay
Lorain officials report the contingency fund has fallen to 35 000 with half of the fiscal year left. An across the board 450 pay raise and fringe benefits depleted the account to 153 363, and auditors warn more money may be needed later to cover bills. Council was told revenue sources linked to wage talks and budget maneuvers complicated funding.
