THREE RIVERS SCHOOL Mayor Sammons stated we received an email stating that Craig Hockenberry is no longer in the position of Superintendent at TRLSD. Ms. Holly Simms is the interim Superintendent. Mayor Sammons asked Marilyn to contact Ms. Simms to ask her and two of the Board of Education members to attend our July 27th, 2020 council meeting to discuss their decision. COMMITTEES: Finance - Mr. Moorman Dave Moorman talked about the Public Safety (2mil) Levy. He gave a presentation on the levy last month and has asked Scott to prepare a resolution asking the auditor to certify the dollar amount. There was a discussion…..Ron Hartoin stated he didn’t believe it was a good time to place a levy on the ballot with the current economic and COVID-19 events. Fran Romweber and Joe Bonner stated they see the benefit of placing a levy on the November ballot because it will have a high turnout of voters for the presidential election. Mayor Sammons prefers police costs being funded by a levy as our Fire and EMS are funded instead of the cost coming out of our general fund. Dave Moorman made a motion to adopt Resolution 2020-12 Resolution of Necessity for Levying a Tax Exceeding Ten-Mil Limitation for Public Safety Services. Fran Romweber seconded the motion. Motion carried 100%. Dave Moorman gave council an update of how he is uploading our council meetings on YouTube to be viewed by our residents.

Beautification – Fran Romweber Fran and Mayor Sammons met with Mike Rahall, Administrator of Cleves, to advise him North Bend will be removing and trimming large trees from the WHH property and North Bend’s property to enhance the view of the WHH Memorial. They asked him permission to remove and trim any large trees on Cleves’ property on Brower and Harbor Roads that may be restricting that view and he was in agreement. In mid-July, Buckeye Tree Service will begin the project in that area. Mr. Charles Hunter with the railroad company will also begin removing trees on their property blocking the view.
