The Village of Enon council voted April 26 to approve a $90,177.66 appropriation from the Capital Outlay Water Contingency Fund to purchase property, council records show.
Administrator (name not specified in the record) presented the recommended appropriation adjustment and the source fund, saying the transfer would fund a property purchase. Rick Hanna, president of council, moved the measure and Ben Beair seconded it. The motion carried with Brenda Sweet, Rick Hanna, Dave Babcock, Ben Beair and Jeremy Whitacre voting "Yes;" Paul Avery was recorded as absent.
The appropriation was described in the meeting as an adjustment from the Capital Outlay Water Contingency Fund. The minutes do not specify the property’s address, seller, or further terms of purchase.
Council also conducted routine business at the meeting. Members approved minutes from the April 12, 2022 regular meeting (motion by Brenda Sweet, second by Jeremy Whitacre) and from a special meeting on April 15, 2022 (motion by Jeremy Whitacre, second by Brenda Sweet); the April 15 minutes show one abstention by Ben Beair.
Mayor Timothy Howard and staff delivered customary communications and reports. The Mayor noted an April 29 meeting to review monitoring results from early-warning wells. Chief Holler reported completing 112 hours of training at the National Computer Forensic Institute run by the United States Secret Service and said he returned with approximately $22,000 worth of equipment. The Administrator reviewed plans for road and alley closures for the Apple Butter Festival, blood drive results, the Citizen of the Year ceremony on May 1 and upcoming water-license training.
During old business and public comment, Council member Rick Hanna thanked council and staff for their work on the joint property purchase. Members of the public asked questions about the cost to taxpayers of a school resource officer and about the date of the drug take-back; a resident reminded the council that volunteer traffic-direction help will end after the Apple Butter Festival. The meeting was adjourned at 7:37 p.m.
The minutes do not state an effective date for the appropriation beyond its approval at the April 26 meeting; additional documentation would be required to confirm closing dates or contract terms.
