If, at the expiration of six months from the passage of such resolution, the railroad company has refused or failed to co-operate in the preparation of such plans and specifications, or if the county engineer or engineer designated by the board and the railroad company fail to agree upon the plans and specification of such improvement, then either the railroad company or the county may submit the matter of determining the method by which the improvement shall be made to the court of common pleas of such county. Either the county or company, after the expiration of six months from the passage of the resolution, may apply to such court by petition, accompanied by the necessary plans prepared by the county or railroad company, covering the grade crossing proposed to be abolished. Such plans must show the grades to be established for such roads or highways, the changes to be made in the location of roads or highways, the height, character, and estimated cost of any viaduct or way above or below the railroad tracks, the number, character, and location of piers, abutments, or supports to be permanently located in the roads or highways, and the change of grade to be made in any railroad tracks, including sidetracks and switches.

(F) The debarment period may be of any length determined by the director and the director may modify or rescind the debarment at any time. During the period of debarment, the director shall not issue a certificate of qualification for any company, partnership, association, or corporation affiliated with a debarred individual. After the debarment period expires, the bidding company or individual, and any partnership, association, or corporation affiliated with the individual may make an application for qualification if such entity or individual is not otherwise debarred.

Status: in_force

September 11, 2014 House Bill 533 - 130th General Assembly (A)(1) As provided in sections 5531.144 and 5531.145 of the Revised Code, a toll project operator may file a civil suit against a registered owner in the municipal court or county court having jurisdiction over the location of the toll project. The toll project operator also shall file all related documentation and information described in section 5531.143 of the Revised Code with the clerk of the municipal court or county court. Except as otherwise provided in division (A)(2) of this section, the toll project operator shall not file such a suit earlier than thirty-five days after the date of mailing of a late notice to the registered owner. (2) In a circumstance in which a registered owner is liable for multiple user fees and any associated administrative fees involving one or more motor vehicles, the toll project operator may file a civil suit addressing all such user fees and administrative fees; provided, no such suit shall include fees incurred more than one hundred twenty-five days prior to the date of filing of such suit. (3) The clerk of the municipal court or county court shall execute a summons regarding a suit filed under division (A)(1) of this section by sending a copy of the summons in accordance with the rules of civil procedure to the address of the registered owner of the vehicle as shown in the records of the bureau of motor vehicles, as identified and provided by a motor vehicle leasing dealer or motor vehicle renting dealer, or as shown in the records of the department, division, bureau, office, or other unit of government of any other state or jurisdiction that is functionally equivalent to the bureau of motor vehicles. The issuance of such a summons constitutes sufficient notice to the registered owner. The summons shall compel the appearance of the registered owner to appear in the municipal court or county court, and shall include notice of the time and place of the trial as well as the potential civil penalty and any associated costs. The summons also shall include a statement that the registered owner's motor vehicle utilized a toll project and therefore the registered owner incurred liability for payment of the applicable user fee as provided in division (A) of section 5531.144 of the Revised Code and also shall list the Revised Code citation for that section. The summons constitutes sufficient notice to the registered owner that the vehicle was used on a toll project and, as a result, the registered owner is liable for payment of the user fee. (B) Proof that a motor vehicle utilized a toll project and therefore the registered owner of the motor vehicle is liable for payment of the applicable user fee shall be evidenced by either or both of the following: (1) Information and documentation obtained from an electronic-monitoring system or electronic toll collection system; (2) A certificate confirming the identification of the vehicle issued by a toll project operator that is based on an inspection of photographs, microphotographs, videotapes, other recorded images or identifying data produced by an electronic-monitoring system, or through electronic data collected by an electronic toll collection system. The certificate and the documentation attached thereto are prima facie evidence of the facts contained therein. The court shall ensure that the certificate and any photographs, microphotographs, videotapes, or other recorded images or electronic data evidencing liability for payment of the applicable user fee are available for inspection in any proceeding to adjudicate the liability for payment of the user fee. (C)(1) A registered owner is not liable for a user fee and it is a complete defense to a cause of action asserting such liability if within thirty-five days after the mailing of the invoice, late notice, or a summons, the registered owner of the motor vehicle produces for the toll project operator or the court a certified copy of a report of a law enforcement agency showing both of the following: (a) The motor vehicle had been reported stolen prior to the time that the motor vehicle utilized the toll project. (b) The motor vehicle had remained stolen at the time of the alleged violation. (2) The court shall dismiss the case against a registered owner when divisions (C)(1)(a) and (b) apply. (D) The toll project operator may offer to the registered owner the option to pay the unpaid user fee and any administrative fee, as specified in the summons, plus a reduced civil penalty, provided that the registered owner actually pays to the toll project operator the entire amount so calculated not less than fourteen days prior to the scheduled trial date. The toll project operator shall establish a schedule for reduced civil penalties that are offered to registered owners pursuant to this division, and the toll project operator shall adhere to the schedule when making such offers. The toll project operator may revise the schedule from time to time as the toll project operator determines necessary. If the registered owner accepts the offer and the toll project operator receives the entire amount not less than fourteen days prior to the scheduled trial date, the toll project operator shall move the court, not less than five business days prior to the trial date, to dismiss the summons issued to the registered owner. Upon such a motion, the court shall dismiss the summons and dismiss the case. (E)(1) Upon a finding by the municipal court or county court that the registered owner is liable for payment of the user fee as provided in division (A) of section 5531.144 of the Revised Code, the court shall order the registered owner to pay all applicable court costs, user fees due, and administrative fees. The court also shall impose a civil penalty upon the registered owner, as follows: (a) For a first instance, as shown in the records of the toll project operator, in which the registered owner was liable for payment of a user fee and the registered owner did not pay the user fee and did not submit a timely notice to contest the user fee and the toll project operator sent both an invoice and a late notice to the registered owner, seventy-five dollars; (b) For a second instance as described in division (E)(1)(a) of this section within one year of a first such instance, one hundred fifty dollars; (c) For a third instance as described in division (E)(1)(a) of this section within two years of a second such instance, two hundred fifty dollars; (d) For a fourth or subsequent instance as described in division (E)(1)(a) of this section within three years of a third such instance, five hundred dollars. (2) The clerk of the municipal court or county court shall pay all user fees, administrative fees, and penalties the court assesses and collects under this section to the department of transportation for deposit into the state treasury to the credit of the highway operating fund or for payment by the department in accordance with a public-private agreement pursuant to sections 5501.70 to 5501.83 of the Revised Code. (F)(1) Upon a finding by a court that the registered owner is liable for payment of a user fee as provided in division (A) of section 5531.144 of the Revised Code, the court shall issue a motor vehicle certificate of registration issuance prevention order. The order shall remain in effect until the court has notified the registrar that all unpaid user fees, administrative fees, and civil penalties have been paid in full and the court has issued a new order rescinding its previous order. The registrar and all deputy registrars shall comply with the order. (2) If the registered owner resides in another state or jurisdiction, the court shall issue a motor vehicle certificate of registration issuance prevention order and send a copy of the order to the department, division, bureau, office, or other unit of government of another state or jurisdiction that is functionally equivalent to the bureau of motor vehicles for enforcement in that other state or jurisdiction. The order shall have the same effect in another state or jurisdiction as in this state. (G)(1) A civil penalty imposed pursuant to this section shall not be made part of the driving record of the person upon whom such civil penalty is imposed, nor shall it be considered in any manner for insurance purposes in the provision of motor vehicle insurance coverage. (2) No person shall be subject to both this section and to criminal prosecution under any provision of the Revised Code or any rule adopted thereunder for nonpayment of user fees or related administrative fees.

§ 5523.08. Costs chargeable to the improvement - proportion of costs
Status: in_force

July 1, 1985 House Bill 201 - 116th General Assembly The cost of constructing the improvement authorized, including the making of ways, crossings, or viaducts, above or below the railroad tracks, together with sufficient approaches thereto, necessary guardrails, and adequate drainage, shall be part of and chargeable to the improvement. If the improvement replaces a portion of highway which prior to the improvement was unimproved, the surface chargeable to the improvement outside the limits of the right-of-way of the railroad company, the costs of which are to be shared by such company, shall not exceed in cost the costs of a traffic bond surface of sufficient thickness to sustain highway traffic. If the improvement replaces a portion of the highway or extension which has an improved surface, the cost of a new pavement, of equivalent width and of sufficient type to sustain highway traffic, shall be chargeable to the improvement on that portion outside the limits of the right-of-way of the company. The cost of the pavement on bridges for the full width of the roadway thereon shall be chargeable to the improvement. Within the limits of the right-of-way of the company, the pavement shall be chargeable to the improvement and shall be of such extent as the director of transportation determines. The raising or lowering of the grades of the railroad tracks, sidetracks, and switches for such distance required, and as provided in the plans and made necessary by such improvement, including the cost of moving or changing existing structures, sheriff's fees, and other incidental expenses, together with the cost of land or property purchased or appropriated and damages to owners of abutting or other property, shall be chargeable to the improvement. All costs and things made chargeable to the improvement by this section shall be borne, unless otherwise agreed upon, eighty-five per cent by the state and fifteen per cent by such company. The state has the right of action against any such company for the recovery of the fifteen per cent, or other agreed proportion of such cost payable by it, with interest from the time that it became due. The director and the company involved may agree as to what part of the work shall be done by the company and also fix the amount or agree upon a method or basis for calculating and ascertaining the amount to be allowed or accredited to the company for doing such work. Such company shall be entitled to deduct from the fifteen per cent, or other agreed proportion of the cost of the improvement to be paid by such company, the expense incurred by it in the change of its grade required by the director or made necessary by him under the plans, but only in case the amount of the expense or method for calculating it has been agreed upon in writing between the director and the company. If the amount of work done by the company or made necessary by reason of such change of grade or raising or lowering its tracks exceeds fifteen per cent, or other agreed proportion of the cost of the improvement to be paid by such company, then such excess shall be payable to the company by the director. In connection with such improvement the director and the company involved may agree as to the portion of such construction the cost of which is to be shared and upon the percentage of the cost to be borne by the state and such company, but if such agreement is not made, this section shall apply. In the event that two or more railroad companies or interurban railway companies are required to cooperate in the improvement, and such companies are unable, for any reason, after three months from the date of the formal submission of the plans and estimates for the improvement, to agree among themselves as to what proportion of the costs to be paid by all companies is to be paid by each company, but the companies have agreed upon all other phases and details of the improvement, either of such companies or the director may petition the court of common pleas of the county in which such improvement is to be made, making the other companies defendants and asking for the apportionment of the costs which each shall bear, on which petition summons shall issue as in civil actions. After hearing the court shall determine and adjudge the proper proportions to be paid by the companies in the manner provided for in section 5523.07 of the Revised Code, pending which determination the director may fix tentatively the proportion of the cost which each railroad company or interurban railway company shall bear, and the companies and director shall execute an agreement based upon the plans, specifications, and estimates and such tentative distribution of cost, pending a final agreement among such railroad companies or interurban companies and the director or a decision of the courts in the matter, saving to such companies the right to prosecute error or appeal. The director may make requisition upon such companies in accordance with his tentative apportionment of costs. Each company shall promptly pay such requisitions according to their tenor, and the proceeding with the work shall not be delayed on account of the failure of the companies to agree upon an apportionment of costs between or among them. After the proportion of costs to be paid by each company has been finally determined, by agreement between them or by a judgment of court, the director shall make requisition in accordance with such agreement or judgment, and any of such companies shall have a right of action against any other such company to adjust the payment of costs in accordance with such agreement or judgment. Such tentative distribution shall be inadmissible as evidence in the hearing to determine final distribution and shall in no way affect such final distribution.

§ 5541.05. County commissioners may place graveled or unimproved road in nonmaintained status
Status: in_force

July 1, 2009 House Bill 2 - 128th General Assembly (A) Except as otherwise provided in division (D) of this section, a board of county commissioners by resolution may place a graveled or unimproved county road under its jurisdiction that is not passable year-round or any portion of such a road on nonmaintained status. Prior to adopting a resolution that places a road on nonmaintained status, the board, at special or regular meetings, shall hold at least two public hearings to allow for public comment on the proposed resolution. The board shall publicize the times and places of the hearings by causing a notice to be published in a newspaper of general circulation in the county in which the road is located at least ten days prior to the date of the first meeting. If the county maintains a web site on the internet, the same notice also shall be posted on the web site at least ten days prior to the date of the first meeting. Upon adoption of such a resolution, the board is not required to cause the road to be dragged at any time, or to cut, destroy, or remove any brush, weeds, briers, bushes, or thistles upon or along the road, or to remove snow from the road, or to maintain or repair the road in any manner. The board, in its discretion, may cause any of these actions to be performed on or to a road that it has placed on nonmaintained status. (B) Prior to adopting a resolution under division (A) of this section, the board shall request the county engineer to issue an advisory opinion regarding the consequences of placing the road on nonmaintained status, including any impact such action would have on adjoining property owners. A board may adopt a resolution under division (A) of this section only after the county engineer issues the advisory opinion and the county engineer, in the advisory opinion, finds that placing the road on nonmaintained status will not unduly adversely affect the flow of motor vehicle traffic on that road or on any adjacent road. (C)(1) A board may terminate the nonmaintained status of a county road by adopting a resolution to that effect. If the owner of land adjoining a road that has been placed on nonmaintained status requests the board to terminate the nonmaintained status of the road, the board, in its resolution that terminates that nonmaintained status, may require the owner to pay the costs of upgrading the road to locally adopted county standards. (2) If the owner of land adjoining a road that has been placed on nonmaintained status upgrades the road to the standards most recently certified by the county engineer for the road, the board shall terminate the nonmaintained status of the road and then shall maintain and repair the road according to such standards. However, division (C)(2) of this section does not apply to a road or portion of a road that, prior to being placed on nonmaintained status, was not certified by the board of county commissioners to the director of transportation in accordance with division (D) of section 4501.04 of the Revised Code as mileage in the county used by and maintained for the public. (3) The owner of land adjoining a road that was placed on nonmaintained status prior to April 7, 2009, or the owner of land whose only access to such a road is by easement may petition the board for review of the nonmaintained status of the road if the road provides the exclusive means for obtaining access to the land. Upon receipt of a petition, the board shall review the status of the road and shall terminate the nonmaintained status if the board finds that the road provides such exclusive means for obtaining access to the land. After completing the review, the board shall adopt a resolution either retaining or terminating the nonmaintained status of the road. If the board terminates the nonmaintained status of a road under division (C)(3) of this section, the board shall not require the owner to pay the costs of upgrading, maintaining, or repairing the road. However, division (C)(3) of this section does not apply to a road or portion of a road that, prior to being placed on nonmaintained status, was not certified by the board of county commissioners to the director in accordance with division (D) of section 4501.04 of the Revised Code as mileage in the county used by and maintained for the public. (D) A graveled or unimproved road may not be placed on nonmaintained status if the road is the exclusive means for obtaining access to land that adjoins that road and the road is passable year-round. (E) For purposes of this section, a road is passable year-round if a four-wheeled, two-wheel drive passenger motor vehicle can be driven on the road year-round, apart from seasonal conditions caused by weather-related events.
