Mr. Pessler referenced a past water issue that resident, Rita Allen brought to council’s attention and asked how North Bend resolved that case. Fran Romweber stated North Bend advised Rita Allen to speak with her neighbor who caused the water issue on her property and they resolved it between them. Fran Romweber, Chair of Planning and Zoning, advised Jim Pessler to take care of the zoning issue with the property he purchased directly adjacent to the Biermarkt. Please comply with the zoning code and rezone the property for business. It is presently zoned residential. Mayor Sammons and Fran Romweber stated we support your business.

Mr. Dean Ferrier with Rumpke, is one of two companies bidding on North Bend’s waste disposal. He attended the meeting to ask if council had any questions of him. Mayor Sammons asked Dean what is the difference between Rumpke and Best Way. Dean stated that Rumpke has been a west side company since 1932. They have invested over 30 million dollars in the community. At this time, North Bend has 360 homes registered for waste pickup and 160 homes registered for recycling pickup. Dave Moorman stated that as a customer, they have “history” with the Village of North Bend and they serve their customers. Mayor Sammons explained that North Bend presently has waste removal costs included on residents’ property tax, however, we are returning to residents paying for their waste removal individually. Dean quoted that it would cost residents $2.50 per month to rent one of their waste containers, $75.00 to purchase one and $45.00 to purchase a used waste container. If Rumpke is awarded the contract, Rumpke would participate with the Village in notifying residents. FIRE REPORT Chief Ober reported there were 8 EMS details and no Fire runs for the month of April.
