Reports:
Village Administrator – The street crew has been busy repairing
alleys. The VA has made a formal request to the Ohio EPA for free technical
assistance for the Penn-Michigan project.
Community Service (Maurer) – The new decorations on the light
poles were a cooperative effort by a local Girl Scout
troop, Dave Rogers and his wife. The Mayor has received several compliments.
Finance (Warne) – The finance committee has reviewed and approves
the financial reports for October 2002.
Fire Committee (Bordenkircher) – Ron Lusk announced that the
Firemen’s Association had donated $12,000 to the village for payment on the
tanker truck loan principal.
Chamber Rep (Rogers) – With the assistance of the fire department,
the Main Street lights were put up November 30th. Some lights have
been erected at Burt Park and more will be done soon.
Utility (Bordenkircher) – The committee had a meeting with the
Ohio DOD and EPA regarding the Penn-Michigan Project. There are some minor
details to correct prior to the completion of the Phase I assessment. The
committee is working with Dale Hartle and GGC Engineers to make these corrections
and have the assessment done prior to Christmas.
Clerk’s report – The state auditors are going to start the village’s
2001 and 2002 audit on January 7, 2003. If the Corp of Army Engineers requires
a single audit for the Riverfront Estates grant, the state auditors will perform
that at the same time.
Other business – Lusk relayed an inquiry about renting the Gress
building from Phil Shearrow. The general consensus of the council was that
they were not interested in renting or leasing the building. There is hope
that the plans for a community center will be progressing over the next year
or two. Preparing the building for rental would involve more expense and paper
work then a reasonable rental fee would generate. Dave Rogers wanted to pass
on compliments to the police chief from residents of Johnson Road for the
police attention to the speeding problem.
