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.

These two subjects will be on Monday night's council agenda. It will also be the first official council meet with Everett Collier as a new council member.

Monday's complete council packet is in an attachment at the bottom of this story.
