MOUNT GILEAD Three residents asked village council to consider allowing the driving of side-by-side vehicles with the village limits.
Greg and Bobbi Hadberg and Rob Snyder own those vehicles and said they are different from golf carts, which also are prohibited.
“They’re nothing like golf carts,” Greg said. Snider noted they are gas-powered and require a license, registration and insurance.
Council will review the request and assign it to a committee to explore.
Mayor Jamie Brucker noted one concern is the presence of several state routes that intersect the village corporation limits.

MOUNT GILEAD The village spring clean-up for trash will be April 15, 16 and 17. Instead of curbside pickup, there will be trash bins located at the pool parking lot on Cherry Street.
The hours are from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. and a village employee will be there to check for residency and assist if needed.
The following items will not be accepted: hazardous materials, tires, yard waste, metal and appliances. Mayor Jamie Brucker said the change in process is needed to increase efficiency in the collection process and keep trash from blowing into the streets.
Mount Gilead showing progress
MOUNT GILEAD Village Administrator Derek Allen reported to village council about progress in a few areas.
He cited the Pillar Credit Union building on Meadow Drive that had a ribbon cutting on Friday.
Also, the dilapidated HPM structure has mostly been razed as the clearing of that land for future re-development continues.
“It’s sad to see that history disappear,” said council member Kay Hines.
The Village Service Department has worked on ball diamonds to prepare for baseball and softball seasons. Concession stand and restrooms at the pool are being prepared for use by the leagues this summer.
