North Ridgeville City Council approved an amendment increasing the design services cost for the Mills Creek Conservation and Flood Control Project from $507,500 to $665,200 due to complications from a high-pressure gas line, utility easements, and federal permits. The project aims to reduce flooding and create a park.

The increase reflects redesign efforts required by FirstEnergy and a U.S. Army Corps of Engineers permit. An emergency clause was approved for immediate effect to avoid work interruptions.
