Beautification – Fran Romweber Fran Romweber spoke about the grant we received from the Marge and Charles J. Schott Foundation for the felling of trees obscuring the view of President William Henry Harrison’s monument site. She stated there may be issues with the Ohio History Connection, however, we will meet with them and determine if the larger trees on their property can be removed without the cost of an archeologist, as well as removing the large trees on North Bend’s property. COUNCIL’S OLD BUSINESS Dave Moorman discussed our Public Safety Levy with a slide presentation. He stated North Bend needs a permanent source of funding for police costs rather than those costs coming out of our general fund and we must have an educated campaign. He stated North Bend has an average of 395 runs per year. Ron Hartoin is in agreement, but thought the timing is unfavorable. Bill Deters stated no community pays for police thru their general fund. Mayor Sammons is in agreement of the levy in the amount of 2MIL. It was decided that we will discuss this further at the June 29th meeting when we have more details. Dave also spoke about the maintenance supervisor’s position transition. Rick Schultz will be retiring July, 2021. He’s recommending North Bend employ one full-time supervisor, one part-time employee and one seasonal employee. Dave discussed hiring the new employee while Rick is still employed so he can mentor him first hand. We may also have to take in to consideration health care options for the new, full-time employee.
