As a result of the misinformation, the Village Council believed the fair thing to do was purchase the signs from the company.

Minutes, March 29, 2021 Police & Fire – Mr. Deters Prior to the change in administration at the County Sheriff’s Office, Bill met with the County’s Sheriff Office and the Village of Cleves regarding North Bend’s police contract and all parties verbally agreed that sharing 16-hour coverage for Cleves and North Bend was feasible. Despite both the Village of Cleves and the Village of North Bend only requiring 16-hour coverage, the new administration for the Sheriff’s Office is now stating only 24-hour coverage is available for both Villages to share. North Bend only utilized 10% of the police services with respect to its prior contract and the Village neither requires nor can afford to pay for 25% of 24-hour coverage. After discussion, Bill Deters made a motion to communicate to Hamilton County Sheriff’s Office that the Village of North Bend will only pay what our recently passed Public Service Levy collects. Fran Romweber seconded the motion. Roll call vote was taken: Fran Romweber-Aye, Dave Moorman-Aye, Joe Bonner-Aye, Bill Deters-Aye, and Shirley Smith-Aye. Motion carried 100%. Dave Moorman stated North Bend has negotiated with Hamilton County in good faith. He suggested we submit a letter to Hamilton County Sheriff McGuffey stating the history of our year long negotiations and that, at least for one year, have coverage for what was agreed upon. Scott Sollmann asked that Mayor Sammons and Bill Deters draft a letter which Council can discuss at its April 26th meeting. Bill stated the Sheriff’s Office has requested a response by March 31st. Mayor Sammons asked Bill to respond by email. Planning & Zoning - Mrs. Romweber Fran submitted the minutes of the Planning and Zoning Commission’s March 3rd meeting regarding regulating Mobile/Trailer homes and parks in North Bend and officially submitted the recommendation from the Planning and Zoning Commission.
