Edon Village Council met at 7 p.m. and began their meeting with the approval of the prior minutes and financial report before hearing the police department report from Police Chief Szymczak.
Council was then joined by Trustees Trausch, Imm, and Brown of the Florence Township Board of Trustees to discuss the Edon Union Cemetery, which they meet annually to discuss.
The major focus was on the condition of the ground, which is wet. This makes it soft and easy to harm the land during the burial process.
Tire tracks damage the soft ground, causing discussion on what can be done to prevent these tracks from happening.
Also mentioned was the current mapping system that is used for the burial plots. This system shows the plots by whoever’s name is on the deed, without reference to who is buried there.
Administrative offices will be closed May 29, 2023 in observance of Memorial Day.
Administrator Chad Ordway reported that he will be on medical leave for 4-8 weeks starting May 22, 2023 following a procedure.
The council adjourned their joint annual meeting with the Florence Township Board of Trustees at 7:45 p.m.
