Old Business
Council person Leiter reported that the Middle Point fire chief, Craig King, said that the manholes could be filled in when the street reconstruction is done as he wasn’t even aware that the village had any.
On another note, Leiter gave information about what she found out about the possibility of the village being part of the Van Wert County Land Bank. Currently the village is not in the program. In order to move forward, the fiscal officer will contact JoAnne Simmerman, NIP Program Manager, with names and addresses of lots that the village has brought forth in discussion.
