entitled “Minimizing the Impacts of Work in the Rights of Way”, is hereby amended to change
subsection (c)(3) and add new (c)(4) to read as follows:
919.16 MINIMIZING THE IMPACTS OF WORK IN THE RIGHTS OF WAY.
(a) Call Before Digging. Permittees shall be responsible to “call before you dig.” (Ohio
Utility Protection Service, 1-800-362-2764). The Ohio Revised Code §3781.28 states that
within forty eight (48) hours of receiving notice under §3781.28 of the Revised Code, each

the excavator within forty eight (48) hours of receiving notice under §3781.28 of the
Revised Code, the utility is deemed to have given notice that it does not have any facilities
at the excavation site.
(b) Noise, Dust, Debris, Hours of Work. Each Permittee shall conduct Work in such
manner as to avoid unnecessary inconvenience and annoyance to the general public and
occupants of neighboring property. In the performance of the Work, the Permittee shall

that:

efforts to eliminate the tracking of mud or debris upon any street or sidewalk. Streets and

performance/warranty guarantee by the City to repair any damage, and, possibly, the
requirement of additional warrantee(s).

property by providing adequate support and taking other necessary measures. The
Permittee shall, at its own expense, shore up and protect all buildings, walls, fences or
other property likely to be damaged during the Work, and shall be responsible for all
damage to public or private property resulting from failure to properly protect and carry
out Work in the public way.
(h) Clean-Up. As the Work progresses, all public rights of way and private property shall
be thoroughly cleaned of all rubbish, excess dirt, rock, and other debris. All clean-up
operations shall be done at the expense of the Permittee.
(i) Preservation of Monuments. A Permittee shall not disturb any surface monuments,
property marks or survey hubs and points found on the line of Work unless approval is
obtained from the Service Director. Any monuments, hubs, and points disturbed will be
replaced by a Ohio Registered Land Surveyor at the Permittee's expense.

City of Norwood Request for Ordinance, Resolution, Amendment, or Repeal

Document Requested:

Ordinance

Executive Summary of document needed:
If an amendment or repeal request, list existing Ordinance Number(s)/Section(s) of Ordinance to be amended or repealed, etc. (or attach
documents and/or copies as appropriate

The purpose of the proposed legislation is to allow for the cancellation of Chief McCabe’s current terms
of employment, which were created before the city developed a general salary ordinance applicable to
appointed employees, and the inclusion of Chief McCabe in the city’s general salary ordinance.
Therefore, I am requesting an ordinance authorizing early payment of amounts due, per Ordinance 17 –
2020, to Fire Chief Tom McCabe, subject to the following terms:
1. Chief McCabe requests cancellation of his current agreement (Ordinance 17 -2020);
2. Mayor Schneider accepts that cancellation request; and
3. Chief McCabe thereafter is included in the city’s “salary ordinance” (currently Ordinance 28-2026,
but subject to future action).
Action Requested:
Emergency - Three Readings at One Meeting with Immediate Effectivity
If Emergency clause or suspension of rules for all three readings is needed, explain:

Requesting emergency action to allow all payments necessary to be paid in the 2026 calendar year, and
thereby be included in Chief McCabe’s 2026 earnings.
Special Notes/Instructions
Ordinance 17-2020, which provided the original terms for Chief McCabe’s service as Fire Chief, was
approved during the Covid pandemic, and a time during which the city was under significant financial strain.
The outcome of that agreement has resulted in Chief McCabe being ineligible for merit-based
compensation increases in alignment with other department heads, market rates, and has also resulted in
his significantly lagging compensation adjustments in comparison to other members of the Fire Department.
No additional appropriations are requested in 2026 to meet the required funding to effectuate this
agreement. Pending adoption of this ordinance by Council, Chief McCabe will receive a retroactive increase
in his compensation rate (adjusted in January 2026) to an effective 10% increase. A similar increase will be
made in 2027. See Exhibit A for proposed early payments.

AN ORDINANCE AUTHORIZING EARLY PAYMENT OF AMOUNTS DUE UNDER
ORDINANCE 17-2020, INCLUDING FIRE CHIEF IN THE CITY’S GENERAL
SALARY ORDINANCE, AND DECLARING AN EMERGENCY
WHEREAS, Fire Chief Thomas “Tom” McCabe currently serves under the terms of
employment established by Ordinance No. 17-2020, which was approved during the COVID-19
pandemic under conditions of significant financial strain; and
WHEREAS, the structure of Ordinance No. 17-2020 has rendered Chief McCabe
ineligible for merit-based compensation increases aligned with other department heads and market
rates, resulting in his compensation lagging behind other members of the Fire Department; and
WHEREAS, the City has subsequently developed a general salary ordinance applicable to
appointed employees (currently Ordinance No. 28-2026), and Fire Chief McCabe has requested
the cancellation of his current agreement under Ordinance No. 17-2020 so that he may instead be
included under the City's general salary ordinance; and
WHEREAS, the Mayor has accepted Chief McCabe's request for cancellation; and
WHEREAS, it is immediately necessary to authorize the early payment of amounts due
and transition Chief McCabe to the general salary ordinance to ensure all necessary financial
transactions are completed within the 2026 and 2027 calendar years and properly accounted for in
Chief McCabe’s 2026 earnings, thereby preserving municipal efficiency and departmental equity;
now, therefore,
BE IT ORDAINED by the Council of the City of Norwood, State of Ohio, that
SECTION 1. The City hereby authorizes the early payment of amounts due to Fire Chief
Tom McCabe under Ordinance No. 17-2020 as detailed in Exhibit A, attached hereto and
incorporated herein by reference, to be paid in full during the 2026 and 2027 calendar years.
SECTION 2. Following the repeal of Ordinance No. 17-2020 and the execution of
payments, Fire Chief McCabe shall thereafter be included in the City’s general salary ordinance.
Pending adoption of this ordinance, Chief McCabe shall receive a retroactive increase in his
compensation rate, adjusted to January 1, 2026, reflecting an effective 10% increase. A similar
increase shall be structured for calendar year 2027 in accordance with the general salary ordinance
framework.
SECTION 3. This Council finds and determines that no additional appropriations are
required for calendar year 2026 to fund the provisions of this ordinance, as existing departmental
appropriations are sufficient to meet these requirements.
SECTION 4. This ordinance is hereby declared to be an emergency measure necessary
for the immediate preservation of the public peace, health, safety, and welfare of the City of
Norwood, and for the further reason that emergency action is required to allow all necessary
payments to be executed within the 2026 calendar year and to be included in Chief McCabe’s 2026
earnings and to allow simultaneous effect of the repeal of Ordinance No. 17-2020. It shall take
effect and be in force immediately upon its passage and approval by the Mayor.
