Council began by having a new member of council, Leann Miller, being sworn in. Next, council moved to approve the minutes from the previous meeting, paying of the bills, as well as payment for travel for new council members to go to a newly elected seminar.
Then, council discussed sunshine law training and outside committees. Next, council discussed the solar eclipse stating that they have word about Fulton County Fairgrounds camping spots and Sauder’s campground and Heritage Inn being completely booked for the solar eclipse.
The village is in talks about sending out a cautious message to everyone and possibly buying glasses for those that want to go to the park and watch the eclipse.
