South Bloomfield council approves water‑sale agreement with Ashville and authorizes ODOT maintenance
Summary
On Nov. 4 the Village of South Bloomfield council unanimously approved Resolution 2024‑11 to allow temporary water sales to Ashville during its water‑plant construction and Resolution 2024‑16 authorizing the Ohio Department of Transportation to maintain state highways within the village.
The Village of South Bloomfield council unanimously approved two third‑reading resolutions at its Nov. 4 meeting.
Tom Ramsay moved to approve the third reading of Resolution 2024‑11, authorizing the village to sell water to Ashville if needed while Ashville builds a new water plant; Ken Everts seconded. The vote was Ken: yes, Woody: yes, Tom: yes, Dena: yes, Lisa: yes, Amber: yes. Village Administrator Joe Allen explained the communities tied lines years earlier to provide emergency interconnection and that this resolution would permit sales while Ashville constructs its new plant.
Council then approved the third reading of Resolution 2024‑16, which authorizes the Ohio Department of Transportation to maintain state highways in the village. Dena Cobb moved to approve the ordinance and Ken Everts seconded; the same councilmembers voted yes.
Both items passed on unanimous votes; no amendments or conditions were recorded during the meeting. Neither resolution generated extended debate in the session’s recorded minutes.
Next steps: the approvals were recorded on the consent/unfinished business portion of the agenda; any implementation (water sales to Ashville or coordination with ODOT) will proceed through village administration and intergovernmental coordination as described by Administrator Joe Allen during the meeting.
