The Lyons Village Council held their meeting on Monday, September 9th. The meeting began a 7:00 p.m. with the Pledge of Allegiance before members moved to discuss the following items.
The new Dollar General store in town was set to open that week. The tentative opening date was set for September 11th following a few changes. The store did in fact open on Thursday, September 12th.
An update was given regarding North Adrian Street houses. The Sutter Dev Group has found a new engineer to finish up the layout so, hopefully the final planning will be approved soon and ground can be broken.
As for the EPA service line inventory questionnaire, at this time there are only around 20 households that have not complied with filling out paperwork and pictures for the mandatory EPA assignment. Work is being done to compile all locations that have complied onto the EPA documents.
Four new radar signs are now up and running around town, in addition to the other one placed previously. It was stated that these signs have helped overall and that citizens have reported seeing a difference in town when it comes to vehicle speeds.
Bulk pickup will be held on October 5th door to door and Jacob Barnes is still working on the new zoning book. A proof should be ready within the next month or two for implementation in January.
It was then reported that TTHM levels for water in the village have been at great levels. The tower levels sit at 32.2 and the pump house sits at 37.6. A lift station on the west end, however, was without power for a day when Edison blew a fuse.
It was reported that there were no issues after being fixed. A leak was also found in a copper pipe on the East end of town. Work was done to dig up the area and fix the issue.
New electric will be getting put in by Toledo Edison and Colgan Davis at Dunbar Ingal Park due to the pole being removed when the new Dollar General store went in.
Council then moved to assess taxes to the Auditor’s Office for Rory Figley for non-payment of water/sewer in the amount of $825.79.
An address has been set up for the Lyons Community Park, with the new address being 295 Park Street.
An EPA sanitary sewer inspection has been scheduled for September 16th and Fall letters will be sent out this week. Trick or Treat will be held on October 31st from 5:30 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. and work is still being done to fix various items at the playground.
Lastly, the next meeting for the Village of Lyons will be held on October 7th. With no other business to attend to, the meeting was adjourned.
