Posted by Fred Steiner on March 20, 2020 - 11:46am

Bluffton's Monday, March 23, council meeting will be a first for the village.

It is scheduled for 5:30 p.m. (a change from 7 p.m.) and will take place in the police garage behind the town hall, according to Kevin Nickel, village fiscal officer.

"The intention is for this to be a very short, stand up meeting, for the purposes of approving the bills to be paid," he told the Icon.

"It is unlikely that there will be any other action unless some is needed related to COVID-19 or other emergency action to keep government functioning."
