Edon Village Council met March 20, at 7 p.m. Present were Council members Dan Ankney, Lee Lawrence, Austin Thiel, Brandon Thiel, Dave Loughborough, and Brook Morris via telephone.
Also present were Village Administrator Chad Ordway, Fiscal Officer Heidi Bidwell, Village Solicitor Thom Thompson, and Mayor Duane Thiel.
After approving the minutes and financial report, council announced that large trash pickup day is scheduled April 29th for Edon residents. Residents should have items out to the curb by 7 a.m.
Regulations for what is allowed to be left out may be found at edon-ohio.com .
Environmental crews are currently at the old school removing asbestos. After the safe and proper disposal of contaminated material, the old school will be demolished. Demolition is estimated to take three weeks.
The village warns residents that park on Derbyshire Street, which is next to the old school, that they will not be able to park there during demolition for safety reasons, including contact with hazardous materials.
Anyone parked on Derbyshire will be individually contacted so that they may move their vehicle.
The village is also waiting on the arrival of a new generator, which is expected to be 54-58 weeks out due to supply chain issues.
Thom Thompson, the Village Solicitor, was approved to embark on court proceedings against residents that have delinquent utility bills.
Court costs are estimated to outweigh the owed amounts.
Council then entered executive session, wherein no action was taken.
