FR paving underway
Fort Recovery village council
Fort Recovery residents will see their village’s paving project completed this week.
Along with giving other project updates, village administrator Randy Diller reported at Tuesday’s village council meeting that Wagner Paving had been grinding the tops of streets and would start paving today.
“They’re hoping to be in and out of here by the end of the week,” Diller said.
First, Railroad, Boundary, Broadway, Oak, Third, High and Wagner streets should be repaved by Saturday morning.
Already completed is hydraulic work at the village’s sewer lagoons. The improvements by Tom’s Construction should allow sewage to flow more thoroughly around the lagoons before exiting.
Moving more slowly is an effort to replace damaged bricks on Wayne Street. The village and Reading Rock, which supplied the brick pavers, disagree on how many bricks were imperfectly made and how many have been damaged by the village during snow removal. Diller told council he’s trying to bring in an impartial inspector and get their opinion.
“I’d like to get somebody to come take a look at it that has no ties to the village and just tell me what they think is happening up there,” Diller said.
In other business, the council:
•Spoke again with Dillan and Paige Schulze, who live on Sharpsburg Road and do not want to be annexed into the village. Fort Recovery hopes to annex land east of Ohio 49 and south of Sharpsburg Road because it is between the village and the planned Country Breeze subdivision.
The Schulzes again questioned whether annexation would really benefit them, and were again told that the village does not want to establish a precedent of allowing pockets of non-village land within Fort Recovery, which would happen if the 12 properties between the current village and the future subdivision are not annexed.
•Passed a resolution accepting the Local Government Fund amount, $30,724, that Fort Recovery will receive from the state.
•Heard from fiscal officer Roberta Staugler that the village can expect a total of $277,535 from property taxes for 2016.
