Bluffton council will hear a report from its Recreation Committee on recommendations to upgrade the Bluffton Community Swimming Pool. The report is part of the Monday council agenda.
The committee, meeting on July 6, discussed pool resurfacing.
The report summary follows:
At age 21, the pool is due for some serious maintenance work, specifically resurfacing.
Bluffton council will address the College Avenue-Main Street intersection on Monday.
The Ohio Department of Transportation (ODOT) removed the intersection’s traffic light when the streetscape program was created. The stoplight’s absence has been a continual point of discussion from citizens and the village.
Bluffton resident Paula Scott is asking council to look into various options to create a safer intersection.
Council’s packet (an attachment at the bottom of this story) provides several pages of information and drawings pertaining to the intersection.
A host of fall 2015 coaching positions were approved at the June 25 Bluffton school board meeting.
In addition, the board approved several classified substitute custodians, bus drivers, cafeteria works, secretaries and educational aides.
The board also approved elementary summer academy certified contracts. Those contracts, at $21.15 per hour, were awarded to Janelle Bogart, Christine McCafferty, Heidi Steiner, Ryan Dunlap, Barbara Maag, Linda Sycks, Christy Garmatter and Brandie Stackhouse. Summer academy is from Aug. 10 to Aug. 21.
