Americans celebrate Veterans Day, while residents of

· According to the American Community Survey, there
were 19.3 million military veterans in the United States in

Those who have lost their lives in combat against America’s enemies will always be remembered on
Veterans Day, especially by those who have been through the same terrors. But no matter when or where soldiers have

fought to help the United States hold on to its rights and freedoms, Americans everywhere owe them appreciation
and recognition every day, but especially on Veterans Day!

Storm District about the county maintaining the ditch on Com-
merce Drive. Mr. Romancyk will get back to him with a quote. 440-647-9373 Saturday 10am-5pm
There is a sidewalk issue at 313 Garfield Drive that needs Closed Tuesday & Wednesday
to be addressed. Twelve years ago the sidewalk to the east of
said property was not properly placed. Sukey requested approval
from Council to accept the sidewalk as it is, since the continu-
ation will be corrected following it and the neighbor should not
be held responsible. Kincannon motioned to approve leaving the
incorrect portion and having it corrected by connection, motion
passed.
Sukey discussed Commerce Drive east swale and ditch
maintenance issues. The retention pond has become grossly
overgrown and there is question as to who is responsible for
maintaining it. In 1996 the developer was to maintain until the
properties were bought; it would then become the property own-
ers’ responsibility which would be identified as a deed restric-
tion. It is being investigated.
Sukey submitted a proposal for engineered vinyl plant flooring
for the Village offices at the old school, which includes removal
of the existing carpet. The total cost at this time is $28,161.21.
This cost does not include the entrance area of the building or the
police department.
Nine interviews will be performed for the full time skilled
maintenance position.
There are no new updates to the WWTP expansion project
regarding clarifier issue or Permit to Install from Ohio EPA.
Five generators require new batteries, sensors and repair
work. Sukey requested up to $2,500 for the repairs and mainte-
nance. Motion approved.
