On Sep­tem­ber 24 Crest­line Vil­lage Coun­cil met to adopt a num­ber of emer­gency ordi­nances. Also on hand for the meet­ing was Dan Dev­ille from Ohio Edi­son First Energy. He talked about the Thanks A Mil­lion Pro­gram. This pro­gram allows Crest­line cit­i­zens to lock in there price per kilo­watt hour for 6.99 cents for seven years or 6.49 cents for four years. This pro­gram is also avail­able to busi­ness in town and they can sign up to win prizes. One of those being $50,000. In order to be enrolled in this pro­gram one must be signed up by Octo­ber 1. More infor­ma­tion about this pro­gram can be found at www.thanksamillionohio.com or by call­ing first energy solu­tions at 855–849-2645.

Ordi­nances adopted included Ord. 3031 which cre­ated the part time posi­tion of employ­ment for a vil­lage finan­cial con­sul­tant. Ord. 3032 was adopted which allows vil­lage admin­is­tra­tion to enter into con­tract with Mar­tin Painting/Coating Company.

Another ordi­nance that was adopted was 3033 which allowed vil­lage admin­is­tra­tion to enter into con­tract with R.A. Bores Exca­vat­ing. Ord. 3034 was adopted which will allow funds from the gen­eral fund to be used for swim­ming pool improve­ments. These improve­ments include removal of con­crete and caulk­ing replace­ment. They plan to get started on them this fall.

Also the pool stats were in from this past sum­mer at Crest­line pool. In gen­eral every­thing was up from last year includ­ing sea­son passes. Last year there were 8,200 sea­son passes and this year there were 11,000. Pool rental and con­ces­sion were also up from last year. There were a few days when over 500 peo­ple vis­ited the pool. All these num­bers going up were good for the vil­lage and were in part due to the hot weather this past summer.

As far as the har­vest fes­ti­val goes the mayor said it was a suc­cess. This year marked the return of the fes­ti­val to the vil­lage. The mayor thanked the fire, police, and street depart­ments, along with the har­vest fes­ti­val com­mit­tee, donors, and spon­sors. They are cur­rently await­ing finan­cial reports to see how much they made, but they expect it to be a profit. This event did not cost tax pay­ers any­thing and they are ask­ing for more vol­un­teers for next year.

Crest­line Vil­lage Coun­cil meet­ings are held the sec­ond and forth Mon­day of every month at 6:30 and the next meet­ing will be on Octo­ber 8.
