The village administrator and staff reported multiple operational updates during the July 3 meeting, including a waterline extension to the Village of Addison, a proposed no‑knock solicitation registry, outreach about a county home‑repair loan program, and coordinated median and street maintenance.

Waterline/Grant: Staff said the village has a grant award exceeding $800,000 to extend water infrastructure to Addison by installing a pressure release valve and connecting to Addison’s system. A joint meeting with the Village of Addison and Ohio EPA was scheduled to advance negotiations and outreach.

No‑knock solicitor program: Administration described a new solicitor registration and "no‑knock" list. Residents may register to receive a sticker to place on their doors indicating they do not want solicitors. The program will include an application, criminal‑background checks for solicitors, and a registration process to issue door stickers; staff said the rollout is expected within the next month.

Revive & Thrive / home repair loan: Staff described a county program (referred to as “Revive and Thrive”) offering low‑interest home repair loans — staff said loans of up to $20,000 at rates around 1% (or 1% loan programs referenced elsewhere) can be offered to qualifying residents as an alternative to punitive enforcement. Staff said the village will encourage residents with repair needs to apply before imposing citations in some cases.

Aggregation, markets and events: Staff said electric and gas aggregation negotiations are underway with multiple partner communities; the administration recommended locking a gas rate via the consortium if market rates remain low. Staff also reported the summer market kickoff and an October CPR/AED training planned with Miami Township Fire Department.

Public‑works and safety items: Staff announced a planned median weed removal and lane closures on US‑50 to allow safe removal and that the village purchased a convex mirror for a blind spot on Scott Street. The administration also described new accessible on‑street parking placards and a process for residents to apply to keep on‑street accessible spaces. Finally, staff described progress toward designating the school as a tornado shelter and coordinating keys and officer access with the county sheriff.

Ending: Staff said they will publish program details online, distribute applications for the no‑knock and accessible parking programs, lock aggregation gas rates if favorable and continue coordination with partner agencies for the waterline and emergency shelter plans.
