Council Minutes-2019 Police Logs Added

                                                  Attention

        The Village has made a determination on the brush pile. The site will be CLOSED due to non compliance, unauthorized use and the dumping of tires, car parts, wood decks and other debris. There will be no access to the site moving forward. 

         The Village has also decided that to better serve our residents, control chipping cost from non residents using the site and stop non compliance dumping that moving forward all limbs and grass will be picked up and collected by the Village. This will help the Village maintain the site and prevent further incidents of abuse. This will include all storm damaged limbs as well as pruned limbs. There will be a diameter size limit of 10" on the branches.

If trees are cut down the logs will not be picked up and will be residents responsibility. Most generally a free sign will get logs removed from property. If storm damage would be a severe event a further determination will be made at that time. Limbs need to be seperated from grass in order that both may be picked up seperate. Pickup will be every Monday on a schedule, please make arrangements to place at curb for pickup.

          If any resident would like to pickup free mulch from chipping please contact the street department at 419 263-2514 ext 10 to make arrangements to pick up.

          Leaf pickup will continue as normal. Please remember to keep leafs, grass and sticks seperated for proficient pickup.

          Thank you for your cooperation while we work thru this matter.
