The Archbold Village Council started out May with a meeting on the first day of the month with all Council members present.

Newly Hired APD Patrol Officer Adam Berg, former Village of Swanton Police Chief, was on hand to personally meet council members.    

After introducing himself, Berg noted, “I’m looking forward to being here. I’ve got a few more years left in me, and I just needed a change of scenery and position and I think this is going to be a good fit for me.”

In other personnel matters, council went into executive session to discuss employment pursuant to ORC 121.22 (G)(1).

Upon reconvening, it was noted by the mayor that Village Administrator Donna Dettling had asked Council for direction pertaining to the current assistant administrator position job posting.

Based on the conversation in executive session, Dettling stated that she would be revising the assistant administrator job post and the deadline for applications will be extended from May 5 to May 19.

Council approved the Minutes of April 17, 2023, and Bills & Payroll in the amount of $591,429.30.

Resolution 2023-22, a resolution authorizing the village administrator to enter into a customer supply agreement with Energy Harbor for Archbold’s large electric accounts was also approved by council.

In other meeting items, Mayor Grime recognized a Proclamation for the National Day of Prayer on May 4, 2023.

Grime noted that he will be representing the Village of Archbold as a government representative at the special prayer service to be held at Archbold Middle School at 7:00 pm on May 4.

The council also reviewed minutes from the Park Board Meeting held on April 26, 2023.  Councilor Chad Kern, who sits on the Park Board, added that Jen Kidder, Director of Parks and Rec, is applying for the ODNR Natureworks Grant to possibly fund future Ruihley Park Playground Equipment improvements.

Kern also noted that this summer, there will be improvements made to the Ruihley Park diamond dugouts.

Finance Committee minutes from the April 17, 2023 meeting were also reviewed and it was noted that the village would be signing on to another three-year contract with Buckeye Ohio Risk Management Association Benefits Pool, Inc. (BORMA) for village employee health insurance.

Other reports reviewed by council included the Income Tax Receipts for April 2023 and GAC & TTHM Water Update submitted by Archbold Water Superintendent Scott Shultz.

The next Council Meeting will be held on Monday, May 15, 2023 at 5:30 p.m.
