There were no meetings and no reports forthcoming from Ada village council committee heads during the village council meeting Tuesday night. But Police Chief Mike Harnischfeger had plenty to say when it came time for him to give his monthly public safety report.
He said someone tried to steal copper wire from the construction site of the new wastewater treatment center at East Lincoln Avenue near Grass Creek, cutting an opening in the wire fencing around the plant. A patrol officer interrupted the theft and discovered the wire.
Ada council’s agenda on Tuesday includes the second reading of the 2016 annual appropriations ordinance, plus several ordinances affecting the 2016 village calendar.
Those ordinances involve purchasing, services, and payroll expenses.
In action involving the Ada Municipal Swimming Pool, council will act to enter into an agreement for architectural planning services with the firm of Freytag and Associates, Inc.
Also, council will act on an agreement with the Ohio Department of Natural Resources whether to accept funding through the Land and Water Conservation Fund Program for pool renovations.
