By Eve­lyn Long -

Only three pieces of leg­is­la­tion were con­sid­ered when Card­ing­ton Vil­lage Coun­cil met in a 26 minute reg­u­lar ses­sion Mon­day, April 2.

Coun­cil approved the renewal of employer Life Insur­ance with Com­pan­ion Life Insur­ance Com­pany. It was noted the rates are the same as last year.

Also approved by a vote of 5–1, was an ordi­nance adopt­ing the Stan­dard Oper­at­ing Pro­ce­dures for the Police Depart­ment for the vil­lage. Coun­cil woman Sherry Gra­ham voted “no.”

Also approved was the paper­work from the Liquor Con­trol Board for the Patriot Bar. The vote was an agree­ment to not object to the permit.

Giv­ing his report was Interim Vil­lage Admin­is­tra­tor Danny Wood who said that pot­holes had been patched through­out the vil­lage and curbs and side­walks had been repaired in the down­town area. Trees that were in a state of dete­ri­o­ra­tion in the down­town area were removed and will be replaced later. Land­scap­ing was com­pleted on the south side of the new street depart­ment build­ing. He said Clint John­son and Cheyenne Martheney, from the street depart­ment, had attended Mos­quito Classes for their Con­tin­ued Edu­ca­tion Hours . He said that he (Wood) and John­son had also attended the OTCO Water Work­shop for two days.

He said they had done more land­scap­ing so far this year than all of last year.

Act­ing Police Chief Robert Hus­ton said his depart­ment had issued 174 warn­ings and 61 cita­tions since Jan­u­ary 1, 2012.

He noted the Explor­ers will be assist­ing the Upper Room Church with a canned food drive and that food will be deliv­ered to the First United Methodist Church food bank.

The Explor­ers had held a St Patrick’s Day Dance that gen­er­ated $171 in profit.

Hus­ton and Offi­cer Sto­ica had placed safety posters at the Cardington-Lincoln High School to make them aware of seat belts, tex­ting and dri­ving, drink­ing and dri­ving awareness.

Hus­ton said he will be attend­ing train­ing in Colum­bus on Devel­op­ing Per­for­mance Lead­er­ship for Supervisors.

On March 30, Hus­ton and Sto­ica had vis­ited the Cardington-Lincoln Ele­men­tary School and enjoyed lunch with the students.

Mayor Susie Pey­ton said she had received word just before the meet­ing that Krock and Essor will do the zon­ing pro­posal at no addi­tional charge. She said they would dis­cuss this in the work ses­sion to fol­low this meeting.

Fis­cal Offi­cer Deb DiLeo said that things had been going well but there had been many peo­ple com­ing in with ques­tions related to zon­ing. She noted the influx of more ques­tions was prob­a­bly due to the weather.

Coun­cil agreed that the vil­lage engi­neer need not be present for each coun­cil meet­ing but should sub­mit a report for each session.

In response to a ques­tion about the annual vil­lage clean up day, Mayor Pey­ton said coun­cil was to dis­cuss that in the work ses­sion but that the vil­lage could not afford the $11,000 fee for the clean up.

Coun­cil adjourned the reg­u­lar meet­ing and entered a one hour and 22 min­utes exec­u­tive ses­sion based on ORC 121.22 (G) (1) and ORC 121.22 (G) (3). There was no fur­ther action made by council.

Coun­cil will meet next on April 16 at 7 pm.
