Ada council selects Noah Ristau

General manager of ONU dining services will complete council term of the late Don Fleming

Ada council announced the appointment of Noah Ristau, general manager of Ohio Northern University dining services, to fill the council vacancy created due to the death of Don Fleming. 

Council’s unanimous selection of Ristau was made following interview meetings on Oct 26 and 28. Ristau will be sworn in as a council member during the Nov. 10 meeting.

An announcement on the village website follows:

Ada council sets 2 interview sessions with council applicants

Village invites residents to apply for vacant council seat

Application deadline is Oct. 23

The village of Ada invites residents interested in serving on its village council to notify the village of their interest by Friday, Oct. 23.

A vacancy occurred with the Oct. 5 death of Don Fleming, who served on Ada council for 39 years. Fleming was first elected in the early 1980s. He has served as a council member longer than any other person in the village, at least in recent history. He served at one time or another on each of the council committees. In 2019 he was Ada council president.

The position is a mid-term council seat vacancy. Qualified residents interested in filling the seat are asked to submit a letter of interest by 4:30 p.m. on Friday, October 23.

Much more than a typical Ada council vacancy

Don Fleming was a life-long Ada resident and 39-year council member

The death of Don Fleming, who served on Ada council for 39 years, leaves much more than a typical vacancy on the council.

While vacancies leave absences, his life-long Ada background and experience creates an unusually large empty space, difficult to fill in small town village government.

Fleming was first elected in the early 1980s. He has served as a council member longer than any other person in the village, at least in recent history. He served at one time or another on each of the council committees. In 2019 he was Ada council president.
