6/14/2012 - West Side Leader
     

At the June 11 meeting, Peninsula Village Council hired part-time Service Department worker Charles Ausberk as a full-time employee, said Fiscal Officer John Stiegel.

Ausberk will continue to be paid $12 per hour, Stiegel said.

Also during the meeting, Councilwoman Mary Booth requested $850 from the village to assist the Players Barn Association in making an application for nonprofit status, Stiegel said. The association is a group of area residents seeking to lease the vacant property owned by the village. After a lengthy discussion, Council voted against the measure, Stiegel said. The association is seeking nonprofit status so it can accept donations to support the Players Barn, Stiegel said.

Stiegel said Council also:

• renewed property and liability insurance;

• approved a foot patrol contract with the Cuyahoga Valley National Park for additional police manpower in the village during park events. The 2012 contract is nearly identical to the 2011 contract, Stiegel said;

• approved a resolution to designate 1 mill for the Union Cemetery Association;

• approved a resolution adopting an Intergovernmental Memorandum of Understanding under which the village agrees to share tax revenue should the village induce a business to leave another governmental entity in the region and corrected verbiage and grammar from a previous version of the memorandum; and

• had a second reading of a proposed municipal income tax issue to be placed on the November ballot.

Council’s next meeting is set for July 9 at 7 p.m. in the second-floor Council room of Peninsula Town Hall, at the corner of state Route 303 and Akron-Peninsula Road.
