Police report: suspect identified in diner break-in; council moves to buy solar radar signs
Summary
The safety official reported a suspect has been identified in a recent breaking-and-entering at the new diner and said charges are likely to be filed imminently; council also approved invoices and payroll and moved to purchase two solar-powered radar signs not to exceed $17,000.
During routine reports at the July 6 council meeting, the village safety official updated council on recent calls for service and an ongoing investigation into a break-in at the new diner. The official said investigators "have a suspect, and we're gonna be filing charges on him most likely tomorrow," and noted coordination with the Stark County sheriff's office.
Council approved invoices and two payroll periods in motions presented during the finance portion of the agenda. The meeting packet recorded invoices totaling $30,042.21 and payroll periods with amounts $27,340.50 and $28,514.86; motions were made and seconded and the council proceeded to roll-call approval as reflected in the meeting exchange.
Separately, a council member moved to purchase two additional solar-powered radar speed signs not to exceed $17,000; that motion was seconded and called for placement to slow traffic. The record indicates the motion was made and seconded, but placement locations and final procurement details were not specified in the supplied segments.
What happens next: the police department will continue its investigation into the diner break-in and expects to file charges; the fiscal process for invoices and payroll will proceed per council action; procurement staff will follow up on the radar-sign purchase and report placement and vendor details at a future meeting.
