Ed Seigerst was present to tell the Board that the Issue 1 Grant and Loan for the Wastewater Treatment Plant was approved. The Village will get a grant in the amount of $300,000.00 and a zero percent loan in the amount of $350,000.00.

Said from Arcadis of Ohio was present to discuss the updated spreadsheet for revenue and expenditures.
