VILLAGE UPDATES
June 23, 2026, Special Council Meeting
A big thank you to everyone who came to the meeting. Whether you participated in the discussion or were there just to listen, your presence was appreciated. Also, a thank you to all those who were unable to attend but reached out to me with questions and comments.
After the meeting, the question I heard repeatedly was about the reported income the Village received in 2025 from short-term rentals. Moe Riggins has reported, from information provided by the Fiscal Officer, that it was $20K. Amy Frank-Hensley reported in the meeting, from information provided by "administration," that it was $30K. At the July 14 meeting I posed the question directly to our Fiscal Officer, and she stated it was $18,872.00 for 2025, approximately 1% of our budget.
Ohio Edison
Outages continue, and we continue to work with Ohio Edison. On July 2, the mayor, road crew, and Ohio Edison representatives inspected the lines on Stine Road. Another inspection is scheduled for August 7, and CVNP representatives have been asked to attend, as they are stakeholders in property on Stine Road. A recently received report from Ohio Edison of all outages and causes from 1/1/2025 through July 11, 2026, showed twelve outages. Causes included five animals, five trees (on or off the right-of-way), one damage from a garbage truck, and one failed arrestor. Updates will continue as they become available.
BZA
At the July 11, 2026, Council meeting, William Cole and Sara Leffler were appointed to fill the two vacancies on the Board of Zoning Appeals. Congratulations!
