Reports from Visitors:
Don Rawlins, President, District 11 Little League spoke to council regarding a letter of agreement and terms given to the village from Newville Little League regarding the use of Millbrook Park during the baseball season. Mr. Hamilton stated his concerns allowing the Little League to have control of the park (not always allow others to use park), concerns this would interfere with soccer and control of the concession stand. Mr. Rawlins explained this is not what the contract does. He stated they were willing to assume all responsibilities for upkeep from April through the end of the baseball season, they would not interfere with soccer and would like to maintain control of the concession stand. Mr. Blume explained he did not think a written contract would have to be in place as long as everyone agrees and works out a schedule. Mr. Rawlins stated he doesnt want to spend a lot of money and then have someone to tell them to get off the fields. Mr. Blume stated no one wants to deny the fields being used by Little League. Mr. Warren stated we are all here for the kids and was sure the new board for Newville Little League would help with any problems there would be. Discussion was also held regarding adding new fields in the lake bottoms. Mr. Rawlins thanked everyone for their time and stated he and the board will be glad to work with council and everyone else to benefit the kids. Mr. Rawlins stated the league now has the money for the maintenance of the fields. Mr. Blume advised him to get schedule and have it approved to be guaranteed the rights of the field. Mr. Rawlins also introduced Glenda Cordle, Safety Officer and Pebbles Billings, President Newville Little League. Everyone agreed to meet to get schedules agreed upon.

A resolution was read supporting the wastewater system feasibility study project and the village's application to the Ohio Department of Development for funding from the local government innovation fund. Mr. Warren reported this was to do the engineering study. Mr. Williams reported this was discussed at a meeting he, Jim, Ralph and Mike attended with the EPA. Grant is $150,000 and matching 10%, This would cost the village $15,000. Time served would count towards the $15,000 and the village may even have enough time to cover the $15,000 according to Mr. Hamilton. Therefore cost to us would be $0.00. They will look at our whole integrity system. Mr. Warren stated we would need this to get the three million dollar grant. Mr. Payton stated this shows we are moving forward. Mr. Williams reported this does need to be passed tonight to move forward for the sewer plans. Mr. Williams stated this is a challenge since we are dealing with 100 year old sewer system just like we had to deal with the floodwall certification. Stated again the resolution was for $150,000 grant to study the sewers. Cost could be from 0 to $15,000. Mr. Blume stated if nothing was done fines could be imposed. Mr. Williams reported in 2005 when Mr. Sturgill and Mr. Holbrook went to Logan, Ohio for an EPA meeting and they reported back that Portsmouth was responsible. Reported that was done and over and EPA was not worried about the past. This is up to this council to move forward. Mr. Fetty asked why the village did nothing in 2005 when they received a letter. Mr. Williams reported again Mr.Holbrook reported back from that meeting that since New Boston is not getting money and Portsmouth is, they would be responsible. Stated they were in the minutes from January 2005. Mr. Fetty said the signed contract in 1991 stated New Boston was responsible for piping. Reported this problem will be taken care of by this council and wondered why we got a letter if Portsmouth was responsible. Mr. Warren stated EPA is working with us and we have a good relationship. Mr. Williams stated the same thing happened with the floodwall. First this was reported Portsmouth responsible and then us. Mr. Payton stated he had not seen correspondence from us. Mr. Williams moved the rules requiring an ordinance or resolution of a general or permanent nature involving the expenditure of money be read on three separate dates be suspended.

Mr. Williams - 1. Stated he had received a post card in the mail about a month ago from the sheriff''s office reporting a sex offender had moved into his neighborhood. Reported he is gone and now lives in Waverly. Asked Chief Clark why he left.

Chief Clark stated they only have to report to the sheriff's office and by the time it gets back to us they are gone. Mr. Williams reported our ordinance states they have to report to Chief of Police. Chief Clark says they still have to go to the sheriff's dept. Mr. Blume stated if you know then a report needs to be filed for prosecution. Mr. Williams stated if he gets another one he would report it because this person is not allowed to live in this area.
