OPEN FLOOR
Kara Brown of the Hardin County Board of Developmental Disabilities told council that an adult-size changing table is available for installation in Ada. She asked council to help find a location. There is no cost associated with the table, unless you need to add electricity for its operation. The table needs to be attached to a permanent location.
Mayor Retterer indicated that interested parties can call the Village with questions. (Phone 419-634-4045.)
On May 15 the Ada Schools board of education approved the required 5-year financial forecast submitted by treasurer Kim Light. The forecast is required by the State of Ohio in May and November of each year.
As Light noted in her presentation, it has always been challenging to provide a five-year picture when the state legislature provides a two-year budget. With this report, she noted that prospects for 2025-2029 are even murkier given a number of bills in the Ohio legislature that could dramatically reduce public school funding and change how schools can save for anticipated expenses. She expects the November 2025 update to be “more telling.”
Attached is Apollo Career Center's board agenda for the regular meeting scheduled for Monday, May 19, 2025, at 8:00 p.m. The meeting will be held in Apollo's board room, 3325 Shawnee Rd, Lima.
