The February board meeting of the Apollo Career Center school board is at 7 p.m., Feb. 27. The board agenda is avialable in the attachment at the bottom of this story.
Two public meetings are planned for the next two Thursdays for voters to learn about and ask questions about the proposed one-quarter percent income tax measure on the March 6 Bluffton primary ballot.
Note: An attachment at the bottom of this story provides a project list should the levy pass.
The meetings are both at 7:30 p.m., with one on Thursday, Feb. 23, and the second on Thursday, March 1, in the third floor of the town hall, according to Jamie Mehaffie, village administrator.
The Bluffton school board is developing a plant to install a concession stand and restrooms at Steinmetz Field, the soccer field used by Bluffton boys' and girls' soccer teams. One of agenda items on Monday's board meeting authorizes R.D. Neff & Associates to develop plans and bid specifications for the project.
Other items on Monday agenda include several contracts and assignments. Among contracts on the agenda include:
It's a certain sign of spring - grinding at the Spring Street recycling center is planned for later this month. According to Jamie Mehaffie, Bluffton village administrator, double-grinding of material at the dump will start on Feb. 20. He said that the grinding should take about 35 hours to complete.
Mehaffie also reported that so far this winter the village has purchased 67 tons of salt and 200 tons are in reserve.
Bluffton council removed its "vacancy" sign Monday evening. Bluffton's recently retired postmaster, Everett Collier was sworn in to fill the vacant council seat left when Eric Fulcomer resigned to become mayor.
Collier was appointed by council and was one of six persons interviewed for the opening last week, according to Dennis Gallant, council president. Because Collier fills a vacancy, his council term will be for two years instead of four.
