Parade, closures, municipal painting and storybook-trail lighting discussed; clerk resignation accepted
Summary
Council approved a parade and a street-closure request pending state approval, accepted the resignation of a clerk's office employee, discussed municipal building painting, and reviewed a storybook-trail solar-lighting grant and banner responsibilities with the Lions Club.
Mayor Jason Buda presented a parade request from Adams County Drug Free Clubs for April 17, 2026, and council approved the request contingent on state approval (motion by Donna Young, second Ryan Myers). Council also approved a street-closure request from Adams County Christian Values for May 7, contingent on state approval. Council then accepted a letter of resignation from Aletha Angelus from the clerk's office effective March 26, 2026.
Council discussed a request to repaint the municipal building; one employee volunteered to do the work on a weekend for overtime pay, otherwise the village would hire a company. Council asked the village administrator to keep a maintenance schedule for municipal buildings.
Jason Francis briefed council on a grant to buy solar lights for a proposed storybook trail. He cited a vendor price of about $239 per light and pole and estimated roughly $9,000 would buy 30 lights; he said the grant cannot purchase 30 lights and poles without additional village expense, and noted the poles would need bolting to resist wind. Council also reviewed complaints about military banners handled under a memorandum of understanding with the Lions Club and discussed options for installing banners (renting or acquiring a bucket truck, or having volunteers assist). Mayor Buda said he will meet with Lions Club leadership to decide next steps.
What happens next: Parade and street closures will proceed if the state grants approval; administration will process Aletha Angelus' resignation and coordinate any painting work; council and Lions Club will discuss banner responsibilities and options for installation equipment; staff will pursue grant details and cost implications for the storybook trail lighting project.
