On Monday, May 20 Archbold Village Council met at the Ruihley Park Scout Cabin while renovations are being made to the municipal building.
Council approved the May 6, 2024 meeting minutes and the payment of bills and payroll in the amount of $978,538.10.
Following a declaration of emergency, council gave the green light to Resolution 2024-29 which accepts a bid from S & S Directional Boring, Ltd. for the W. Barre Road waterline and sidewalk project.
Council then reviewed minutes from the Building & Grounds Committee meeting held on May 9. According to the minutes, the group met with Parks and Recreation Director Jen Kidder to discuss linking her department with the committee for operational support.
The only report before the council for consideration was an Interest Earnings Report for April 2024, which showed $251,578.03 in interest income received by the village so far this year, compared to $191,771.97 received over the same period in 2023.
Before closing the meeting, council reviewed an informational letter sent out to residents earlier in May outlining the village’s transition to a fully automated trash pickup service by A.R.S.
Beginning November 2024, a cart-based trash collection system will be implemented while the current recycling services will remain unchanged.
Council will hold its next meeting on Monday, June 3 at 5:30 p.m.
