Edon Village Council Approves Temporary Appropriations; No Change In 2016 Funding

January 8, 2016Updated:November 30, 2016No Comments3 Mins Read

Adopting temporary appropriations for 2016 was part of the year-end agenda addressed by Edon Village Council during its regular session held Monday, December 21, 2015 at Village Chambers. Mayor Darlene Burkhardt oversaw her final meeting with members Roxana Nester, Duane Thiel, Dick Chapin, Chuck Bidwell, Gale Horn, Village Administrator Randy Mahlman, Fiscal Officer Heidi Bidwell and Solicitor Tom Thompson in attendance; not answering roll was Councilor Lee Lawrence.

Noting Village normal-operation expenses must be maintained ~ yet cannot legally be paid without proper appropriations ~ Council suspended the three-reading rule and passed Ordinance 12-15: An Ordinance Setting Temporary Appropriations for 2016. Amounts put into place until permanent appropriations are made include:

He also shared recent EPA Reports for the Village (previously received by Edon BPA); noted requirements have been taken care of; recommendations are being addressed as well (e.g. maintaining Wastewater Treatment Plant office hours at twenty/week).
