AVILLA — The former Mid-Town Market building is getting refurbished so that a bakery and another, as yet unnamed, business can open up at the 205 E. Albion St. location.
And the county â and the West Lakes chain in particular â is losing.
Dan Lash attends the river basin meetings as Noble Countyâs official representative when Commissioner Anita Hess cannot attend. When Hess is able to go, Lash attends anyway.
During Mondayâs meeting, Lash called into question a conclusion written by the group which said there wasnât anything that could be done to mitigate flood waters in the West Lakes chain. He said the commissionâs view from the outset is that it doesnât want water flowing uninhibited from the West Lakes chain because that water creates problems further down the watershed â water that residents in that area donât want.
The hazard pay was tied to the coronavirus pandemic.
âCOVID is a big deal for us,â Town Marshal Glen Wills, who made the pitch for the bonus, said. âOur officers are at a lot of risk.â
Wills also asked for an extension of the COVID policy which allowed supervisors to send employees home with COVID if they believed themselves to have been exposed to the virus.
Wills gave the example of one of his employees who thought he had been exposed to the virus. The employee called Wills and asked what they should do. If the employee had come to work and later discovered he was positive for the virus, the entire police department building would have required an expensive deep cleaning, Wills told the council.
