Present at the June 17, 2024 Edon Village Council meeting were councilors Lee Lawrence, David Loughborough, Dan Ankney, Austin Thiel, and Brian Shaffer alongside Village Administrator Chad Ordway, Fiscal Officer Heidi Bidwell, Police Chief Szymczak, and Village Solicitor Tom Thompson. Mayor Duane Thiel and councilor Jeff Pease were absent.
After the minutes from their last meeting, the financial statements, and the bills were approved as presented, everyone was reminded that the village offices will be closed on July 4th in observance of Independence Day.
After it was shared that a problem road at the cemetery has been widened for ease of traffic, Village Administrator Ordway began his report.
He detailed the village’s upcoming maintenance projects and stated that the stone bins should be completed by the end of the month.
A hole was discovered in the drop pipe of the village’s Number 3 well, and as a result, the well will see an acid cleaning done at the time of the hole’s repair to save funds.
Ordway then shared that the shade sails for Walz Playground should be installed in the next few weeks. Copies of the School Resource Officer contract have been forwarded to the mayor, Administrator Ordway, and Solicitor Thompson, and the contract will be further reviewed by council before approval.
Solicitor Thompson shared that the hearing on the Woodville Property will be at the end of the month, and then they will know better how to proceed. The village is currently maintaining the vegetation on the property and assessing taxes for it.
Resolution 02-24, which accepted 2025 tax and levy amounts and rates, was then passed after a suspension of the rules before the meeting adjourned, with the Edon Village Council set to meet next on July 15, 2024.
