Archbold Village Council on April 20 approved three emergency resolutions, awarding contracts for sewer and street work and renewing four parcels’ farmland designation.
The council accepted S&S Directional Boring Ltd.’s low bid for Contract 2-2026 (Sanitary Sewer Interceptor Phase I) by passage of Resolution 2026‑17 after the council suspended the rule requiring three readings. Kevin Eicher moved to pass the resolution; Karla Ball seconded. The roll call recorded all members voting in favor.

The council recorded no nays on the measures and one abstention (Karla Ball) on the April 6 minutes vote earlier in the meeting. The meeting adjourned after routine updates and local announcements.
