At its Feb. 9 meeting the Milford Center Village Council voted 5-0 to approve a $1,938.48 utility bill adjustment tied to a water leak and clerical error and unanimously appointed Council Member Kerry King as council president for 2026.
The Milford Center Village Council voted 5-0 on Feb. 9 to approve a $1,938.48 adjustment to a utility bill after members said the charge resulted from a water leak and a clerical error, and later unanimously appointed Council Member Kerry King as council president for 2026.
Mayor Reisinger opened the meeting and swore in Council Member Emily Davidson before roll call. Council members present included Emily Davidson, Valerie Merideth, Noah Eubanks, Kerry King and Doug Burnett; Susan Simmons was absent.
Councilman Noah Eubanks said the village is working on estimates to replace sand filters at the water treatment plant and on cleaning and painting the village water tower. Later in the meeting, Eubanks moved to approve a utility bill adjustment totaling $1,938.48 “due to water leak issues and a clerical issue.” Councilman Doug Burnett seconded the motion; the council approved it by a 5-0 vote.
The transcript records no further detail about the individual account or the household affected. The adjustment was described in the motion as tied to a combination of a water leak and a clerical error; the council did not provide additional financial or account-level information during the meeting.
The Planning Commission was asked to convene to set zoning requirements for lots on West State Street that were recently annexed into the village. Committee updates included a report from the BELSS committee praising recent snow removal and a PERC announcement that an Easter Egg Hunt is scheduled for March 28 at 11 a.m. at the baseball fields.
Councilman Doug Burnett moved and Valerie Merideth seconded the appointment of Kerry King to serve as council president for 2026; the council approved the appointment by a 5-0 vote. The meeting adjourned following the vote.
No sheriff’s statistics or engineer figures were included in the transcript beyond the notation that the Sheriff’s Office presented statistics and that Choice One Engineering (Luke Hemmelgarn) was listed as the village engineer on record.
