Mr. Dane Michael addressed council about receiving water in his basement from the recent rain. He stated this didn't happen before the sewer separation. A valve was put in at the street and minimized the water during the last rain, but he is concerned about this problem. Kurt Roan stated that when we receive a lot of rain, a vacuum pump on that type of system may freeze up, and that pump failure then causes a trickle-down effect from house to house. Once they find the pump that failed, they can start it again and the other pumps will follow, but until they find the problem it causes a backlog in water. Kurt Roan advised he will meet with Water/Sewer Supt. Ric Byers about the issue. Jason Rockey stated that due to the detour on St. Rt. 15 the downtown is seeing a lot more semi truck traffic and that there is an issue with semi's cutting the corner at Monroe and Main Street, and the walk light has been hit a couple of times. Mayor Yagelski asked if we could suggest to ODOT to reroute the detour to State Route 49 instead of having to turn at St. Rt With the Fire Dept. located close by it would be better for emergency traffic in the area, plus visibility at the intersection is also problem. Pam Lucas was unsure if they could change the route for this project, but we need to address this with ODOT for future projects. Mayor Yagelski suggested writing them a letter so that we have documentation that we are trying to address the issue. Mayor Yagelski and Laura Gray commented about residents that were part of the Phase I CSO Project that are unhappy with the yard work, patios, and shrub replacement.

The 5 th and 6 th grade program was run by the Parks Department for the last few years by Kevin Sommers, and he is unable to continue with the program. Troy Roth and two other persons, approached the park board about obtaining the equipment to continue the football program privately and separate from the Village, and the Park Board had given authorization to sell the equipment for one dollar and let Mr. Roth and these gentlemen take over the program. If within five years the program ceases to exist, they would have to return the equipment back to the village for the same price of
