Council meets in Pyle Building (12/3/03)
Work on new Geneva Town Hall complete
GENEVA — After months of renovation, work on the Pyle Building here is complete.
The Geneva Town Council held its first meeting Tuesday in the council room in the newly refurbished building.
“I would like to welcome everyone here tonight,” said council president Jim Timmons after he called the meeting to order. “We are thrilled to be in here for our first meeting.”
The town’s police department moved into the building on Nov. 26, and the town clerk-treasurer and town manager’s offices are moving in today.
The building is located at 411 E. Line Street.
The first floor includes a small museum area, offices for the town marshal, manager and clerk-treasurer, two restrooms, an evidence room, deputy room and interview room for the police department and a town council meeting room. The second floor has a classroom, lounge, kitchen, four restrooms, a 125-seat meeting room and three storage areas.
Also Tuesday, council members approved the third and final reading of an ordinance to make using engine compression brakes within the town limits illegal. This ordinance, similar to one enacted in Berne, was drafted by Geneva clerk-treasurer Doug Milligan after several residents complained about the noise caused by semi-trucks with compression brakes.
In other business, the council voted to approve the purchase of a backup portable generator for the town’s wastewater treatment plant pending approval from town manager Steve Hampshire and superintendent of street and maintenance Curt Chaffins, who will inspect it.
The $9,800 generator will be purchased from Novatech of Fort Wayne. A second bid of $12,600 was submitted by Custom Power Services of Zanesville.
The plant currently does not have a backup generator, Chaffins said following the meeting.
Also Tuesday, council members, Timmons, Mike Schwartz and Lew Wingler:
•Approved a $9,700 proposal from engineering firm Clark Dietz of Indianapolis to plan a project to refurbish wastewater infrastructure on Railroad Street and Winchester Road. Specifics of the project have not been discussed.
•Heard Timmons announce that a special council meeting will be held on Tuesday, Dec. 30, at 6 p.m. in the Pyle Building. The council is scheduled to finalize some appointments for the town’s park board and board of zoning appeals.
•Heard Hampshire report that the project to reduce the height of Winchester Road is complete. The project was prompted by water run off flooding properties of some residents in that area.[[In-content Ad]]
