The Village of Stryker held their meeting on Monday, March 18th. The meeting began at 6:00 p.m. with a prayer followed by the Pledge of Allegiance.
In the first order of business, council moved to approve the minutes from the previous meeting as well as the financial report.
Mayor Beck then discussed scheduling a Judiciary/Finance Committee meeting before the regular scheduled April meeting. The Committee meeting was set for April 15th at 5:15 p.m.
Next, council discussed Big Trash Clean Up Day on May 4th. Once again residents can start putting trash out the week of May 4th. The village office has a list of items that are allowed to be put out for pick up.
Council then approved to suspend & pass Resolution #03-2024-01: To Approve the Final Plan for the Countywide 9-1-1.
The compost dumpster has been returned and council is reminding everyone that no sticks or trash go into the compost.
The village has been busy picking up everyone’s brush piles. Grass mowing season is coming up soon and for motorcycle safety, council wants to remind the residents that there should be no grass in the street.
Lastly, last month council discussed the village’s ongoing issue with stray cats. With more discussion, council believes they have come up with a solution to that issue.
The Williams County Humane Society got a grant to TNR (Trap and Release) stray cats. Humane Society can do 15 cats for the Village of Stryker for free and then each additional cat after that will cost about $35.
The cats will be fixed and vaccinated before being released backed into the community. Cats that have been fixed and vaccinated will have one of their ears clipped so that people can tell them apart from those that have not been fixed or vaccinated.
Anyone who will help trap a cat can call Alyssa at The Williams County Humane Society at 419-636-2200. The Humane Society will provide a trap and then once the cat has been caught, they will come and pick the cat up.
With nothing else left to discuss, council moved to adjourn at 6:25 p.m. The next regular meeting will be April 15th at 6:00 p.m.
