Citizen’s Comments / Visitors

Resident Cindy Swinehart was present to show her interest in one of the two vacant seats on Village Council.  She lives on Spring Street and is an EMT. 

Old Business

The Mayor reported that he spoke with Arnie Oliver of the Planning Commission and the grant that he was trying to get to add on to the raising of the height of the route 60 bridge project has gone to the next round and that we could still use it on raising the road as you come into town on N. Main Street at Elm Street and Roosevelt Street instead of route 60.

Also discussed was the water pumping of John Galley on South Water Street.  He currently pumps to the road and it is causing a problem with the road.  A catch basin could be put in so he could pump directly into.

Council Member Lisa Kauffman reported that the Tree Lighting on December 11th in the Village Park went well.
