The October 10 regular meeting of the Bluffton Council was a snappy affair, over in just about 30 minutes. The reason? There was no legislation on the agenda.

The meeting packet is attached and page numbers for supporting materials are listed below.

After approving the minutes of September 26 (pages 2-3) and payment of village bills (pages 4-5), council heard reports from committees, administration and safety services.

Summary of September 26 village council meeting

Posted by Staff on September 28, 2022 - 7:01am

• Energy aggregation renewal
• Visioning open house Oct. 19
• SR 103 easement negotiations
• Hydrant flushing and water main replacement
• Bentley Rd. crosswalk improvements
• Police Dept. incident statistics

The first Village of Bluffton regular council meeting of the fall began with a lengthy presentation from a representative of Toledo-based Palmer Energy Company, which negotiates large-scale energy aggregation deals. Palmer groups together Ohio entities like cities, towns, and counties to solicit cheaper utility rates. After a referendum about a decade ago, Bluffton voters agreed to join an electric aggregation deal.  That deal is up for renewal and Council was informed that gas aggregation can be added, if we are willing to place the question on an upcoming ballot again.
