Bluffton Village Council met on Monday, May 8 with a one-page agenda that didn't suggest any drama, with only this reporter and Jim Enneking of the Chamber of Commerce occupying the public gallery. Last meeting, Jim had a very aromatic coffee which competed for my attention; this time I brought my own hot drink. All elected officials and village administrators were in attendance except for Fire Chief Jon Kinn.

Summary of April 24 Bluffton Council meeting

Posted by Staff on April 28, 2023 - 8:19am

By Andy Chappell-Dick

Even faithful readers of the Council Summary may not recall that the last meeting ended with an Executive Session. This often means that all Councilors and Administrators troop off to the small adjoining conference room, and those of us not invited to join them head home. Ohio law provides six reasons for legislatures to meet behind closed doors and they are obligated to state which one they're invoking. This time, it was "ongoing litigation."  This reporter learned only this week, upon reading the April 10 official minutes, that Council had some time later returned to regular session and voted to enter mediation in a dispute. It's a legal matter with a property owner along the S.R. 103 Pathway project and, when asked, Administrator Jesse Blackburn assured me that it would not delay the project.
