Voters to decide on income tax increase

BY NANCY SPENCER Herald Editor nspencer@delphosherald.com DELPHOS Delphos City voters will decide on a 1/4-percent income tax increase on the Nov. 5 General Election Ballot. Council passed on third reading the ordinance and resolution necessary to place the income tax increase on the ballot at Mondays meeting with Councilman Jim Knebel the lone no vote. If passed, the increase will generate approximately $400,000 to help minimize a more than $860,000 loss in the Water and Sewer funds that will be left by the closure of Resers Fine Foods in September. The city also lost $400,000 in utility fees when Chef Solutions filed bankruptcy in 2013 and $60,000 in income revenue when I&K Distributions was sold to Lipari Food. The city has also seen reductions in Local Governments Funds from the state. The city received $240,000 in LGF in 2008 and in 2013, received $79,000. The elimination of the Inheritance Tax cost the city $70,000 in funds. Fourth Street resident Tim Honigford addressed council for the second time, armed with questions. If we make cuts of people in the fire and police department, what will that do to the overtime in those departments? Honigford opened. Auditor Tom Jettinghoff had overtime hours for every department dating back to 2005 at the July 30 special meeting. In 2012, fire, police, water and wastewater were the top four in overtime. While the fire department had the second least amount in total paid in wages of the four at $471,010, overtime was nearly 20 percent of those wages at $93,570. The police departments overtime was almost 10 percent of its total wages of $831,435 and water and sewer were 7 percent and 4 percent, respectively, of total wages of $364,005 and $415,781. The 2011 figures were similar with the fire department overtime at 16 percent of total wages; the police department, nearly 13 percent; the water department, 7 percent; and the sewer, 3 percent. Safety Service Director Greg Berquist fielded the question. Actually, it will reduce the overtime because it is built in contractually with the unions, he said. So if we reduce bodies, we reduce overtime. Honigford also wanted to know what would happen if the city went to an all-volunteer fire department. Can we do that? Honigford asked. What would happen to our homeowners insurance if we did? We have considered it, Berquist began. We have to find out all the ramifications. Fire Chief Dave McNeal, who was in attendance with many other city employees, said the city currently has an ISO rating of five inside the city and nine outside the city. The ISO rating is on a scale of 1-10, with one being the best. The ISO rating is used by insurance companies to determine rates for fire loss coverage. Honigford also asked if the bonds for the debt for the utilities construction was secured, which Berquist replied they were not. Those are state bonds and they

are not secured, so if we default, the state will be out the money and we will be in trouble, he added. Honigford added that he would like to see the proposed cuts happen as soon as possible. The cuts are reasonable for the financial shape we are in, he said. Theyre not pleasant but it happens. Third Street resident Bev Jettinghoff spoke about her frustration with the state of the citys finances and how it came about. You guys had no concrete plan to pay back the debt, she said. You should have had something in writing before this was all started. I think you went in with a hope and prayer. You [council] need to take responsibility for what you did. We elect you to make these decisions for us with us in mind. Councilman Jim Knebel replied. I would vote for it again under the same circumstances, he said. We had a company that needed us and a city that needed us. It wasnt just for the company. See TAX, page 10

Spencerville OKs Kirk Bros. for water plant

BY STEPHANIE GROVES Staff Writer sgroves@delphosherald.com SPENCERVILLE Village council addressed a multitude of topics during their scheduled Monday night meeting, including the approval of moving forward with Kirk Brothers to provide village with water, a .25-percent Income Tax increase and DNA identification during the fall festival. At 7:16 p.m., council members invited Richard Kirk of Kirk Brothers and Jay Shutt and Mac McCauley,of CT Consultants into executive session to hammer out the next steps in getting a new water treatment plant built for the village. Council members moved to leave regular session and entered executive session to discuss possible litigation. During the July 15 council meeting, Mayor P.J. Johnson said the village contracted with Kirk Brothers, who subcontracted H2O Innovation to design and fabricate water tanks for the village. There were redesign issues which held up production for months. Johnson reported that Kirk Brothers terminated the contract with H2O and that Village Administrator Shawn Jimmie Mox of Mox Nursery finishes the hole for a Brandywine Maple at Garfield Chapman, Alan Smith and Park. The tree was planted by the Marbletown Festival Committee in memory of Roger he have had meetings with Crowe, longtime treasurer of the group. Crowe passed away in May 2012.

At 9:26 p.m., members moved to exit executive session and re-entered regular session. Johnson told council that to proceed with the water treatment plant project, there are three options: accept Kirk Brothers plan for a conventional plant; locate another sub-contractor to supply containers; or cease the contract and go after the performance bond. Johnson asked council if any member had a motion for which direction they would like to entertain. Councilmen John Miller motioned that the Village move forward with Richard Kirks proposal and figure a scope of work to keep CT Consultants on as contract administrator. Council members voted unanimously on the motion. Mr. Kirk needs to provide more in depth details about his proposal, Johnson said. The village needs to explore waiving the liquidated damages after he has presented more details. Chapman expressed his concern about the change order language. Attorney Al Smith said a lot of negotiation has to take place before all of this can happen. Discussion was held about the change order and when it could be presented to council for acceptance.

TODAY IN HISTORY

BIRTH
ST. RITAS A girl was born Aug. 5 to Melanie and Shane Weldy of Elida. A boy was born Aug. 5 to Amber Pohlman and Jordan Snyder of Delphos.

Today is Wednesday, Aug. 7, the 219th day of 2013. There are 146 days left in the year. Todays Highlight in History: On August 7, 1782, Gen. George Washington created the Order of the Purple Heart, a decoration to recognize merit in enlisted men and noncommissioned officers. On this date: In 1882, the famous feud between the Hatfields of West Virginia and the McCoys of Kentucky erupted into full-scale violence. In 1927, the already opened Peace Bridge connecting Buffalo, N.Y., and Fort Erie, Ontario, Canada, was officially dedicated. In 1942, U.S. and other allied forces landed at Guadalcanal, marking the start of the first major allied offensive in the Pacific during World War II. (Japanese forces abandoned the island the following February.) In 1947, the balsa wood raft Kon-Tiki, which had carried a six-man crew 4,300 miles across the Pacific Ocean, crashed into a reef in a Polynesian archipelago; all six crew members reached land safely. In 1959, the United States launched the Explorer 6 satellite, which sent back images of Earth. In 1963, first lady Jacqueline Kennedy gave birth to a boy, Patrick Bouvier Kennedy, who died two days later of respiratory distress syndrome. In 1964, Congress passed the Gulf of Tonkin resolution, giving President Lyndon B. Johnson broad powers in dealing with reported North Vietnamese attacks on U.S. forces. In 1971, the Apollo 15 moon mission ended successfully as its command module splashed down in the Pacific Ocean. In 1989, a plane carrying U.S. Rep. Mickey Leland, D-Texas, and 14 others disappeared over Ethiopia. (The wreckage of the plane was found six days later; there were no

(Proceeds were earmarked to help repair fire damage at Windsor Castle.) In 1998, terrorist bombs at U.S. embassies in Kenya and Tanzania killed 224 people, including 12 Americans. In 2007, San Franciscos Barry Bonds hit home run No. 756 to break Hank Aarons storied record with one out in the fifth inning of a game against the Washington Nationals, who won, 8-6. Ten years ago: A bombing outside the Jordanian Embassy in Baghdad killed 19 people. An Indonesian court sentenced Amrozi bin Nurhasyim to death in the 2002 Bali bombings that killed 202 people (he was executed in 2008). West African peacekeepers entered Liberias rebel-besieged capital; President Charles Taylor picked Vice President Moses Blah as his successor. Five years ago: President George W. Bush, speaking in Bangkok, Thailand, praised the spread of freedom in Asia while sharply criticizing oppression and human rights abuses in China, Myanmar and North Korea; the president then traveled to Beijing to attend the opening of the Olympic games. One year ago: Jared Lee Loughner agreed to spend the rest of his life in prison, accepting that he went on a deadly shooting rampage at an Arizona political gathering in 2011 and sparing the victims a lengthy, possibly traumatic deathpenalty trial. Syrian President Bashar Assad made his first appearance on state TV in nearly three weeks. Aly Raisman became the first U.S. woman to win Olympic gold on floor, and she picked up a bronze on balance beam on the final day of the gymnastics competition at the London Games.

STATE/LOCAL Health insurance premiums to increase 41 percent due to Affordable Care Act
Premiums for Federal Exchange show higher costs for Ohio consumers and small businesses
Information Submitted COLUMBUS The Ohio Department of Insurance announced recently that individual consumers buying health insurance on the federal governments health insurance exchange for Ohio will pay an average of 41 percent more than they did in 2013. In addition, ODI confirmed previouslyreleased preliminary calculations that insurance companies costs to provide individual health coverage will increase by 83 percent. Ohio has traditionally had a more competitive health insurance market than other states with a wider range of prices and choices from simple, high deductible coverage to comprehensive, full service plans, Lieutenant Governor Mary Taylor said. That level of diversity is essentially outlawed under Obamacare so Ohios rates and premiums are going up significantly, and going up more than in other states where prices were already high. Premiums Increase 41 Percent: The Department utilized a National Association of Insurance Commissioners (NAIC) report of premiums reported by Ohio companies at the end of 2012 to compare premiums. Individual exchange plan premiums are expected to increase on average by 41 percent in 2014 compared to 2013, while exchange plans for Ohios small businesses will increase on average by 18 percent. For individual health insurance plans, a total of 12 companies offering 200 different plans have been approved by the department for the exchange. Open enrollment for the exchange will begin on Oct. 1. For small group health insurance plans, six companies offering 184 plans have been approved to sell on the exchange. Based on premiums for the current individual market, plans in Ohio today cost on average $236.29 per month compared to $332.58 in 2014. For the small group market, todays premiums average is $341.03 per month compared to $401.99 in 2014. An example of the difference between premium and the cost to provide coverage is that premiums do not include cost sharing paid by the consumer, whereas cost includes both the cost to the company to provide the coverage and the cost sharing paid by the consumer. Insurance Companies Costs to Insure Increase 83 Percent: Estimates from a Society of Actuaries study released in 2013 showed Ohios current average cost to provide individual health insurance coverage is $223. Based on the rate filings approved by the department, the average cost to provide coverage for individuals purchasing health insurance on the exchange in 2014 is $409, representing an increase of 83 percent when compared to the Society of Actuaries study. During the two month review process, the department requested changes to submissions that in some cases resulted in rate adjustments. Ohio law requires all companies selling products in Ohio, including on the exchange, to justify rate submissions and any rate changes for 2014 by using sound actuarial judgment. The intense review process the department conducted (as it does with all insurance products sold in Ohio) is to protect consumers from rates that are too high and to protect against company insolvency in which rates are too low and companies are unable to pay a consumers claim. Ohio is one of many states to recently release final exchange rate numbers and each states experience is different. Ohios rates are going up while some other states are seeing rates remain stable or even decrease as the ACA drives rates across the country closer together. For states where prices were already much higher and that had more coverage mandates, rates are not increasing as much. In Ohio, where rates have been among the most competitive in the country, rates are increasing significantly as consumers are faced with fewer options and a higher level of required coverage.

These kinds of significant costs increases are bad for job creation and why the governor and I continue to call for the repeal and replacement of this flawed law with reforms that improve access by lowering costs. Taylor said. Ohio said no to running the federal governments health care exchange in our state and no to federal takeovers of both our health insurance regulations and our Medicaid eligibility process. As the problems with this law continue to appear even the federal government has begun to balk, with its recent announcement to delay the employer mandate for a year. Hopefully its just the beginning of more such news and an eventual total rethinking of this law. In 2010 the ACA, which includes sweeping changes to Americas health insurance system, became law.

Family enjoying goodies from the garden

BY LOVINA EICHER ing the grass that the boys mowed to the horses and feeding the dogs. He likes to feed the corn husks to the horses and ponies. One of our hens has little chicks and its hard to keep Kevin away from her little chicks. We are also enjoying the hamburger patties we made and put in the freezer when we butchered beef last winter. Tomato slices, lettuce and sweet onions on the grilled hamburgers make a delicious, tasty sandwich. Foremost on our minds is the sad news of Uncle Emanuelss death. Uncle Emanuel, who lived in Harlan, Indiana, turned 79 on July 10. His wife, Aunt Catherine, is my Dads sister and she passed away in July 2011. Emanuel leaves to mourn sons Emanuel Clyde, William, Robert and a daughter Cathy along with all their partners and children. May God be with them as they go through this trial in life. I know how they must feel losing both parents in two years time. Life seems emptier and it always feels like someone is missing at family gatherings. Life goes on and we must accept Gods ways. Trusting and believing in Him helps to make the burdens in life easier. The funeral will be on Saturday, which we have plans to attend. The annual Coblentz reunion was just held this month in Wisconsin. It was close to where Uncle Joe and Melvin live. We regretted that we werent able to make it there once again. A lady from our church district is taking orders for peaches. She has the truck deliver them all to the houses for our church district. So peaches will soon be here to can and freeze. Today we will make more dill pickles. After this batch, I will have enough pickles for the year.

Quartet of lettermen return for Brinkmans golfers

By JIM METCALFE Staff Writer jmetcalfe@delphosherald.com DELPHOS Chad Brinkman begins his fourth season at the helm of the Jefferson golf unit with a 38-30 mark. That includes last falls 17-8 overall mark, 10-8 in the Northwest Conference. Four starting veterans from that unit return to lead the way in 2013. The top Cat back is third-year junior Carter Mox, who sported a 46-strike average over nine holes in 2013, good for Honorable Mention All-NWC honors. Second-year senior Tyler Rice averaged 52 strokes, matching second-year junior Zack Wannemachers mark, while third-year junior Ryan Bullinger had a 54 average. Brinkman does have to replace his top two golfers from a year ago: third-year men Nick Gallmeier (1st-Team NWC) and Tyler Wrasman (2nd-Team NWC), along with fourth-year player Jacob Violet. Our strength will be experience at the top of the program, while a weakness is overall golf management. We will be working to improve swing and scoring consistency to improve our golf management, Brinkman said. Carter Mox will be shooting for 1st-Team NWC honors and a personal first district berth. All our golfers are competing for a strong season with a goal of a top-3 finish in the NWC and overall personal improvement in the game. Hoping to do that are a boatload of promising newcomers, all underclassmen: junior Nick Fitch and freshmen Andrew Foust, Evan Mox, Tristen Moore, Connor Berelsman and Alex Theobald. As well, for the first time in a number of years, the Wildcats will have two girls as part of the varsity program: sophomores Bailey Gorman and Brooke Gallmeier. I am looking forward to working with the new and veteran young men and women, the coach added. We have good numbers this year, with eight newcomers to our program, all with excellent character and willingness to learn and improve. We look for a strong top-3 finish in the NWC.

However, he must replace four key veteran seniors from a year ago: 4-year men and top golfer Zach Weber, Derek Schimmoeller and Craig Odenweller, along with The Ottoville golf crew for the new season has, front from left, Bryce Hoehn, Thomas Waldick, Kaleb Hanicq and 1-season veteran Logan Bailey Seibert; and back, Ryan Kemper, Wesley Markward, head coach Jim Brown, Luke Schimmoeller, Brendan Kortokrax.

top golfers back from last year, so that is a strength. Overall, though, we have a lack of experience, especially in our fourth through sixth men, Brown noted. We wont be as strong as we have been in past season with the loss of those four seniors. We will work hard and be competitive in most matches this year. Looking to do just that is two newcomers that Brown cites as players likely to surprise people due to being the most experienced underclassmen in senior Ryan Kemper and junior Brendan Schnipke. Four other newcomers will fight it out for the other two spots in the top seven: sophomore Bailey Seibert, freshman Kaleb Hanicq, freshman Bryce Hoehn and classmate Thomas Waldick. In the PCL, Brown expects Kalida to be the odds-on favorite. Ottoville opened the 2013 campaign Tuesday with a 178-183 victory over Bluffton at Bluffton Golf Club. The Big Green hosts Kalida today and take on Jefferson 9 a.m. Thursday.

President George W. Bush has stent procedure

MICHAEL GRACZYK Associated Press Former President George W. Bush successfully underwent a heart procedure in Dallas on Tuesday after doctors discovered a blockage in an artery during his annual physical, Bush spokesman Freddy Ford said. At the recommendation of his doctors, President Bush agreed to have a stent placed to open the blockage, Ford said. The procedure was performed successfully this morning, without complication, at Texas Health Presbyterian Hospital. Bush, 67, was expected to be discharged today and resume his normal schedule the following day. The blockage was discovered Monday during Bushs physical at the Cooper Clinic in Dallas, where the nations 43rd president lives. Bush was described as being in high spirits and eager to return home. He is grateful to the skilled medical professionals who have cared for him, Ford said. He thanks his family, friends, and fellow citizens for their prayers and well wishes. And he encourages us all to get our regular check-ups. Stents are mesh scaffoldings that prop open arteries typically clogged by years of quiet cholesterol buildup. About half a million people have stents inserted in the U.S. each year, generally involving an overnight stay in the hospital.

CDC: First national sign of childhood obesity drop

ATLANTA (AP) For many years, doctors have been wringing their hands as more and more U.S. children grew fat. Now, that may be changing, with the first evidence of a national decline in childhood obesity. In 18 states, there were at least slight drops in obesity for low-income preschoolers, health officials said Tuesday. After decades on the rise, childhood obesity rates recently have essentially been flat. A few places Philadelphia, New York City and Mississippi reported improvements in the last couple of years. But the report from the Centers for Disease and Control Prevention shows signs of widerranging progress. Now, for the first time, were seeing a significant decrease in childhood obesity nationally, said Dr. Thomas Frieden, CDC director. But rates are still too high, he added. One in 8 preschoolers is obese in the United States, and its even more common in black and Hispanic kids. Its not like were out of the woods, he said during a conference call with reporters Tuesday. Obesity continues to be one of the nations leading public health problems health officials call it a longstanding epidemic. A third of U.S. children and teens and more than two-thirds of adults are obese or overweight. Some hope the report marks a turning point. I really do think this is a pivotal moment, said Sam Kass, executive director of a White House initiative to reduce childhood obesity. Preschoolers who are overweight or obese are five times more likely than other children to be heavy as adults, which means

Fort Hood gunman meticulously planned attack

PAUL J. WEBER Associated Press FORT HOOD, Texas Maj. Nidal Malik Hasan fired the last of 146 bullets in his assault on Fort Hood, then walked outside where he met two civilians who asked about the commotion and the laser-sighted pistol in his hand. Hasan told one person not to worry. He assured the other it was just a training exercise and the gun shot only paint. He let both live. But moments earlier, dozens of uniformed soldiers received no quarter from Hasan, prosecutors said Tuesday as the Army psychiatrists long-delayed trial began in a Texas military courtroom. With his life hanging in the balance, Hasan made little effort to defend himself. Acting as his own attorney, he calmly told the jury that he killed 13 people and wounded 32 others in the 2009 attack. The evidence will clearly show that I am the shooter, he said in an opening statement that lasted little more than a minute. The evidence, he added, would only show one side. His only utterance of regret was an acknowledgement that he was among imperfect Muslims trying to establish the perfect religion. I apologize for any mistakes I made in this endeavor, said Hasan, an American-born 42-year-old who was paralyzed after being shot by officers responding to the attack. He spoke from a wheelchair, wearing green Army fatigues and a gray, bushy beard. Hasan planned the assault for months, prosecutor Col. Steve Henricks said, describing how the defendant stockpiled bullets, practiced at a shooting range and bought an extender kit so his pistol could hold more bullets. If convicted, Hasan could get the death penalty. No American soldier has been executed since 1961, and military prosecutors showed that they would take no chance of fumbling details that could jeopardize any conviction. They described a calculating Hasan, armed with two handguns and carrying paper towels in his pants pockets to conceal the sounds of rattling ammunition as he walked through a deployment-readiness center on the sprawling base. He came to believe he had a jihad duty to murder his fellow soldiers, Henricks said, adding that Hasan had researched Taliban leaders call to wage holy war. The government has also said Hasan sent more than a dozen emails starting in December 2008 to Anwar al-Awlaki, a radical U.S.-born Islamic cleric killed by a drone strike in Yemen in 2011. (Continued from page 1)

greater risks of high cholesterol, high blood sugar, asthma and even mental health problems. Tuesdays study used height and weight measurements from nearly 12 million lowincome children in 40 states. The data was collected from 2008 through 2011. Most of the children ages 2 to 4 were enrolled in the federal Women, Infants and Children (WIC) program, which provides food vouchers and other services. Its harder to get national data on preschoolers of more affluent families, so its not clear if the trend applies to all young children. But experts note that low-income kids tend to be heavier. If youre going to look at the problem of obesity early in childhood, the group at highest risk are low-income kids. Thats what makes this data so valuable for understanding trends in this major public health problem, said Dr. Matthew Davis, a University of Michigan researcher who tracks health policy and childrens health issues. The biggest declines were in Florida, Georgia, Missouri, New Jersey and South Dakota. Each saw their obesity numbers fall at least 1 percentage point. Other states showing improvement: California, Iowa, Idaho, Kansas, Massachusetts, Maryland, Michigan, Minnesota, Mississippi, Montana, New Hampshire, New Mexico and Washington. A substantial decline was also seen in the U.S. Virgin Islands. These signs of progress tell a clear story: we can reverse the childhood obesity epidemic. It isnt some kind of unstoppable force, said Dr. James S. Marks, in a statement. Hes senior vice president at the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, a philanthropy that supports programs to tackle obesity.

Spencerville (Continued from page 1)

Chapman said Kirk Brothers are preparing a new proposal to provide the village with the water treatment plant originally specified but in a different way. They are working on the modifications to the existing plans and utilizing their own consultants to perform the design and building of the plant. The EPAs (Environmental Protection Agency) perspective is they want to see in the field what was shown in the specifications and on the plan, Chapman explained. Poggemeyer Design Group (PDG) will layout the construction specifications and Industrial Fluid Management (IFM) will provide and oversee the installation of the water treatment plant processing equipment. Chapman said the installation hinges on two very important steps in the process. He said the first course of action is Kirk Brothers submission of a change order, which can change the scope of the project. The change order is an in-depth outlining of the proposed changes of the outer metal building and containers, he explained. Secondly, the village has to obtain the approval of the modified drawings from the EPA. Council unanimously approved a resolution declaring it necessary to place a permanent .25-percent Income Tax increase on the ballot for the Nov. 5 general election. The increase would be effective Jan. 1 and used exclusively for the operation of the village Police Department. In the Police Report, Chief Darin Cook said complaints and reports have slowed down recently. He said the department participated in a Safety Carnival last Saturday with the EMS and Fire departments. In addition, Cook said they plan to do DNA identification again at the fall festival on Sept. 21. Council member Mike Bice asked if the chief had any luck contacting someone about the weeds on the mound of dirt on the southwest side of the Dollar General. Cook said he talked with the manager but nothing has been done to date. Johnson said he sent an email to Dollar General about the eyesore. The Dollar General alcohol permit hearing was postponed with no new date set. Johnson said he has not heard anything new from the vice president of Governmental Affairs of Dollar General about the status of revoking the application for the permit. The 2014 Budget Hearing with the

County Budget Commission will begin at 10:40 a.m. Tuesday in the auditors conference room. Johnson said he was contacted about a poker run on Sept. 1. The proposed first stop is the Veterans Memorial Park. In the Administrators Report, Chapman presented a written report to council. Due to time constraints, he did not review the report but asked if council had any questions. The report was as follows: The N. Mulberry Street water line replacement project began on July 16 and some minor problems were encountered because the area was not constructed as per plans. The 1990 JCB backhoe stopped working due to an electrical problem but was promptly repaired. Verbal approval for the baby pool renovation was received from the Ohio Department of Health and at this time, it doesnt appear that the baby pool will be completed for use this season. The final day for the pool to be open is Aug. 18, which has had a low attendance due to weather. Hours of operation until then are noon - 6 p.m. Monday through Saturday and 1-6 p.m. on Sunday. Hydrant flushing is planned for November with notices being issued via water bills and The Journal News. The entire town will have their trash picked up on Tuesdays. A few residents have yet to receive their green carts from ACR but they are taking care of this. Chapman received calls that claimed ACR was dumping the recycle in with the regular trash. After a call to John Berens of ACR, Chapman was assured that was not happening. The County Road program began Monday with Shelly Company grinding portions of Second Street between Elizabeth and Broadway and Main Street between Second and Fourth Streets. The road cut from the North Mulberry Street water line project will be completed after the water line has been installed. Chapman reported he fears the village may lose the Moving Ohio Forward Grant due to the inability to locate property owners. Chapman will contact the administrator of the grant to check if he has made any progress locating owners. State approval has been received for the shelterhouse at the Veterans Memorial Park. A free replacement traffic signal was obtained from Delphos and is being refurbished to be used at the old school crossing on East Fourth Street. Chapman thanked Delphos for the

donation. Several water main line breaks were repaired. There was a two-hour delay at the North Canal Avenue leak because crews waited for the line locating company, who did not show up. In the Finance Report, LeeAnn Sypherd reported on the meeting held June 22 when the committee discussed options for employee health insurance. She said Stolly Insurance accumulated different options to present to the committee that would allow the village to be locked in now through 2014 before the Affordable Care Act (ACA) is fully implemented. Employee-paid deductibles for the current year are transferable. The committee recommended contracting with Anthem closest to the current plan with United Healthcare which would become effective Sept. 1. Johnson had no Utility Report and said the City of Delphos contacted him to request a meeting with him and the Utilities Chair Nancy Taylor and himself. He has yet to get back with them regarding the request. The Safety and Streets committee recommended to Council to place two speed bumps in the alley between Pearl and College Streets at the Village Park. Council passed the motion unanimously. The committee also discussed procedures to change the structure to determine speeding fines for the village. The process is complicated and can be simplified by changing it to match the municipal courts structure, which Johnson will present to the committee and Council at a later date. The committee also continued to review the Emergency Disaster Plan and it should be ready for Councils approval at the next meeting. Master copies of the approved plan are to be located at the Council Chambers, Fire Department and EMS building. The next regularly-scheduled meeting will be held at 7 p.m. Aug. 19 in council chambers.

Tax

Berquist agreed. There isnt just one reason we built the new wastewater treatment plant. It was a combination of the combined sewer system and the loadings from I&K. he said. The city was under findings and orders by the EPA who were threatening to fine us monthly until we found a solution. With the staff reduction of four firefighters on the table to stabilize the General Fund, which is projected to be nearly $300,000 in red at the end of the year, Berquist asked council in a resolution to apply for a firefighter grant from the U.S. Department of Homeland Security. The grant request will include the salaries and benefits of three full-time firefighters and to fully train six part-paid firefighters to a Level 1 Firefighter. The deadline for applications is Aug. 30. Berquist said the grants will be awarded through September 2014. We are competing with the nation for this one, he said. We dont know how it will turn out but we might as well put our application in. Theres nothing to lose. Berquist will also submit an application to participate in the Ohio Public Works Commission State Capital Improvement Program for upgrades to the wastewater treatment plant. The grant is an 80-20 match for $1,006,000. The citys share is $201,200. The plan includes separating the common air header at the plant into five components so it performs more efficiently. Right now, its either on or off, Berquist said. If we do this upgrade, only the portions of the header that need to run will run. The grant application also includes the purchase of two sets of trains with upgraded membranes and a computer system upgrade. Also passed on third reading was a measure allowing Berquist to apply for OPWC funds for an East Second Street capital improvement project from Douglas Street to Main Street. The proposed project is estimated at $188,757 with the citys share $37,751. The lighting project at the Wastewater Treatment Plant was heard for second reading. Berquist presented the project to council during a May Utilities Committee meeting. It consists of replacing old and outdated lighting at the Wastewater Treatment Plant with T-5 and T-8 bulbs. Funds for the project will come from a recent $66,000 AEP grant the city received from another energy-savings project.

He sees a beautiful bird, the loveliest hes ever seen, and asks how much it is. The shop owner replies. That bird is $1,000. What?!? cries the man, $1,000 for a bird? What does it do? Well, Im glad you asked, says the shop owner. You see, that bird can sing every female role in the ring cycle from memory. The man thinks OK but I cant afford the bird. He sees a shorter but still beautiful bird and asks how much that one is. That bird is $2,000, replies the shop owner. The man asks what this bird can do. Well, he can play any Paganini concerto you request on the violin from memory. The man thinks, wow, but I really cant afford that bird. He then sees an ancient, hunched, half-dead, ugly, bald bird croaking in the corner of the cage and thinking that this bird couldnt cost very much, enquires. Oh, that bird is $20,000, he is told by the owner. Flabbergasted, the man asks what this bird does. Oh, we havent found out yet, the owner replies. But the other two call him Maestro.
