How many catch basins are in Bluffton? More than you think - here's council's agenda for Monday
A slew of year-end ordinances and resolutions face Bluffton council members on Monday in the final regular session for 2015.
Anticipated action includes the final reading of the 2016 appropriations ordinance. A 13-page draft of the appropriations is part of the council packet, which is an attachment at the bottom of this story.
Other action includes prohibiting semi-trailers on Lake Street, parking or storing inoperative vehicles in the village, regulating parking in the municipal parking lot and regulating parking on portions of Main Street at Jefferson Street.
Council will also consider an agreement with Johnny Appleseed Metro Park for improvements at Motter Park and a resolution in support of Lima-Allen County Regional Planning Commission.
In the village administrator’s report, council will learn that from Dec. 7 to 11 the service department cleaned out all 504 catch basins in the village. Equipment was rented for this project.
