How do you listen to your music?
  • Do you have a large stack of CDs?
  • How about a crate of old records?
  • Maybe you even have a dusty collection of 8-tracks or an iPod full of mp3 files.

Ada council members will see a 2020 village financial summary when it meets on Feb. 2.

According to Patty Navin, village fiscal officer, the CARES Act funds were distributed into several funds. These included the general fund, swimming pool fund, public works fund, health and welfare fund and the Ada-Liberty Township ambulance fund.

The 2020 budgeted expenses were $2,154,970, and the actual expenses were lower, at $2,006,661.
