Businessowner talks about increased patrol presence

BY NANCY SPENCER
DHI Media Editor
nspencer@delphosherald.com
DELPHOS The increased presence
of Ohio State Highway Patrol troopers
in Delphos in the last few months was
the hot topic at the Delphos City Council
meeting Monday.
John Lehmkuhle, owner of The
Smoking Chrome Saloon in downtown
Delphos. and one of his employees,
Taylor Kehres, addressed council, alleging instances of abuse of power.
The highway patrol is circling the
block my business is in constantly in the
evenings. Ive seen them go by as many
as 21 times in one night, Lehmkuhle
said. They are stopping a lot of people
and if they dont give them an OVI, they
let them go. They dont even charge
them for what they stopped them for.
Lehmkule said what he called harassment was affecting his business as well
as the residents of Delphos.

going to bring the matter up to his fellow
$1.00
councilman that evening as well.

Ive had half a dozen people talk to
me about unfair treatment, Martz said.
They are pulling a lot of people over.
I support law enforcement but I think
there might be some abuse going on
here. They are nice to have around but
not when they are abusing their authority.
Councilmen Del Kemper said he had
also heard complaints.
Ive gotten this complaint several times and it seems the residents of
Delphos are being targeted by the Ohio
State Highway Patrol and the Allen
County Sheriffs Office, Kemper said.
Councilman Tom Grothous asked if
someone from the patrol might be asked
to come in and state their position on
what they are doing.
Mayor Michael Gallmeier told council the OSHP has jurisdiction throughout
the state and that they were not overstepping their boundaries by their presence
in town.

Ghost hunters visit Memorial Hall seeking answers
BY STEVEN COBURN-GRIFFIS
DHI Media Editor
sgriffis@putnamsentinel.com
Dr. Wesley Klir gives ORBS team members a brief overview of the history of Memorial Hall before the team set about
its mission of detecting any lingering spirits in the building. (Putnam Sentinel/Steven Coburn-Griffis)
JENNINGS It was Saturday night and Dr. Wesley Klir

stood in the parking lot of Memorial Hall as the bells of St.
Joseph Catholic Church tolled eight times. Klir glanced up at
the looming building and the cloud-heavy sky, shredded with
varying hues of dark and light grey, that served as its backdrop.
Behind him, a team of 13 black-clad men and women bristling
with high-tech electronics ghost hunters climbed from
two long, black, anonymous vans to rank themselves with
near-military precision at his back.
As the group mounted a set of concrete stairs on the west
side of the building, pale lightning flickered high in the clouds
and a sparse, cold rain pattered down. At the door, Klir fitted
key to lock as inside the building an eerie blue light began
to pulse like a slow-beating heart. Klir hesitated and looked
around to the team of grim-faced men and women assembled
behind him. No one said a word. No one needed to
No. Wait. Stop. Thats not really how events played out.
Yes, Saturdays sky above Fort Jennings was ripe with grey
clouds, but there was no lightning and it never rained. And the
doors on the west side of the building two of them are
solid steel. From that vantage, no one could see any kind of
light inside Memorial Hall, eerie blue or otherwise. And, yes,
an organized ghost hunt was conducted, but the team and their
guides were as far from nervous and worried about the nights
coming events as is humanly possible.
People enjoyed celebrations here and they enjoyed the best
times of their lives here; they were celebrated in this building,
Klir said by way of introduction to the building. And to me,
if theres anything here, something just stuck around because
they were having a good time.

Antique Car Gathering May 21 at Sauder Village

Information submitted
ARCHBOLD More
than 100 antique automobiles
will be on display at Sauder
Village on May 21 for the
7th Annual Antique Car
Gathering. Antique car collectors from throughout the
Midwest are planning to display their antique automobiles
at Ohios largest living-history
village for guests of all ages
to see. Guests will also have
a chance to ride in and even
drive an antique making this
car show extra special again
this year.
Sauder Village offers a
unique backdrop for collectors to share their vintage cars
with others. Again this year car

enthusiasts are coming from
Ohio, Michigan and Indiana
to display their antique automobiles in the historic village
featuring more than 40 historic
homes, shops and community
buildings.
The cars on display at
Sauder Village will be from
a much earlier time period
than some car shows since
we require every car to be
older than 1942, shared Kim
Krieger, Media Relations.
Some cars will even date
back to the early 1900s making this show quite unique!
From a 1906 Cadillac
Model M Surrey and a 1916
Reo MG Touring to a 1928
Learn to Fly
Introduction to Flying in our Cessna

172 with our special Discovery Flight
for only $49. Up to two additional
passengers for only $10 each.
Rolls Royce and a 1942 Willys

WWII Jeep there will
be a wide variety of unique
automobiles on display again
this year. Throughout the day
guests will be able to look
at the cars and visit with car
owners. Many exhibitors plan
to give demonstrations and
will be available to answer
questions about these unique
vehicles. Throughout the
afternoon, guests will have an
opportunity to take a ride in
an antique car and there will
be a special drawing for one
adult to win a chance to actually drive a car! Activities will
take place throughout the day,
weather permitting, and some
are available on a first-come,
first-served basis.
In addition to the display
of antique cars, guests will
certainly want to plan time
to experience the past in the
Historic Village. Visitors can
learn about the daily lives

of the Native Americans in
the award-winning Natives
and Newcomers area and
visit places like the WitmerRoth home and Holdeman
Church at Pioneer Settlement.
The newly-renovated Grime
Homestead is a fun place to
experience life in the 1920s
and the new gallery exhibits
in the Museum Building are
a great place to learn about
founder Erie Sauder and agriculture in Ohio. Guests with
young children are encouraged to stop by Little Pioneers
Homestead to gather eggs and
milk the fiberglass cow and
everyone should plan to take
a ride on the Erie Express or
the horse and buggy.
Historic Sauder Village is
open Tuesday through Friday
from 10 a.m.-3:30 p.m.,
Saturday from 10 a.m.-5 p.m.
and each Sunday afternoon
from noon-4 p.m. The Historic

Village is closed on Mondays,
except holidays. Admission is
$16 for adults and $10 for
students ages 6-16. Children
5 and under are always free
with family and Sauder Village
members receive free admission to the Historic Village for
an entire year. And again this
year, children 16 and under are
free every Sunday this season!

Delphos FFA attends State FFA Convention
COLUMBUS Delphos FFA members recently attended
the 88th annual State FFA Convention in Columbus. During the
2-day trip, members participated in Career Development Events,
listened to outstanding motivational speakers, toured Wilson
Football Company and received recognition for their accomplishments. They were recognized for being a gold-rated chapter for
their contributions to the Ohio FFA foundation and chapter trust
program. Evan Krites was recognized as a gold-medal treasurer,

St. Johns 4x1 boys relay Fire all the managers?

Major League Baseballs first managing
casualty is Fredi Gonzalez, fired Tuesday by
the Atlanta Braves.
It goes to show that sometimes sometimes? professional sports are a blood
sport.
He gets blamed for a team that is in total
I mean TOTAL rebuilding mode.
They make the Cincinnati Reds look like
they are seeking to compete for a World Series
title this year!
The powers-that-be gave Gonzalez a team
that might struggle in Triple A, that is how
total of a rebuild they are on.
How that can be his fault? He is managing
the team he had to put together from the players the front office and player personnel gave
him in spring training.
This is not a Bill Belichick situation, where
he brings in the talent and has almost total
control of his roster.
Their powers-that-be basically traded away
anyone that was any good in the off-season
or last season and they are left with prospects yes, theres that word again, all of
us Reds fans that are clearly not ready for
primetime action, or veterans that clearly are
past their primes and not what they used to be.
Seems to me they fired the wrong people,
Jim Metcalfe
Metcalfes
Musings
especially in this day and age of sabermetricians and all the numbers gurus in baseball
these days.
They should know better, shouldnt they?
The ridiculous thing is that they are building a new stadium to replace Turner Field,
which really isnt that old.
Braves fans even in the heyday of
Bobby Coxs teams that made the playoffs 14
years in a row or so in the 1990s and 2000s
never really did come out in droves, outside of
perhaps the playoffs.
Now they are going into a new stadium
with a team that wont be competitive at
the present way of doing things for a while.
Wonder what their ticket prices will be?
All this may be a warning lesson for Reds
manager Bryan Price.

This proposed revision provides a choice for an eighth grade

1 of the ensuing school year to:
a.) remain in grade eight and
not participate due to not meeting the age bylaw or b.) begin
high school participation at the
school where he or she would

latter, the eight-semester bylaw

Tinora Tuesday afternoon in

Division III District softball
action at Bath High School.
The Lady Panthers got it
and the Lady Rams didnt as
the Panthers grabbed a 4-2
triumph.
Paulding (12-9) advances to take on todays Allen
East-Bluffton winner 5 p.m.
Friday back at Bath.
The Panthers won a
pitchers duel between complete-game hurlers Audrey
Manz and Tinoras (16-4)
Ashton Helmke.
Tinora also left 10 runners on base, including the
bases loaded in the bottom
of the third and the sixth, to
Pauldings six.
Im not so sure Audrey
could have done that earlier this season. She competed and thats all weve
told her all season; compete
out there, Paulding coach
Matt Carr explained. Thats
something to pitch out of two
bases-loaded jams like that.

We really got some timely
hits and getting those two
runs in the fifth were really
big. We have four or five
freshmen we brought up for
our tournament roster and
they bring so much energy
and enthusiasm and thats
how we played today; Im so
proud of our 18 girls.
Tinora assistant coach
Corey Hale agreed with
Carrs assessment.
Manz did a heck of a job
keeping us off-balance. When
she had to bear down, she
did something different and
our batters stuttered at the
plate and we could not get
the big hit, Hale added. We
didnt get any until we were
down four. The good thing
is we are a young team, with
half our lineup freshmen and
sophomores. This is a good
learning experience and once
we get through this, I hope
we come back for a long run
next season.
Paulding struck first in the
top of the first on a leadoff
single by Kelsey Beck, a steal
and a 1-out knock by Haylee
Dominique.
Tinora got runners to second and third with two outs in
the bottom half on a single by

Kaitlyn Pscodna and a double
by Allison Zipfel.
After the Panthers left a
runner on in the second, they
got a 1-out solo blast to left
by Beck for a 2-0 lead in the
third.
Paulding got two huge
insurance runs in the top of the
fifth. With one out, Karissa
Lucas and Asia Arellano
singled and Beck walked to
load the bases. A wild pitch
brought Lucas in and a slice
to center got Arellano in for a
4-0 advantage.
Paulding left two batters
on in the sixth and seventh
inning in an effort to extend
the lead.

Panthers need extras to down Lady
Bearcats
SPENCERVILLE The Spencerville varsity softball team was defeated by Paulding in
Northwest Conference softball action Monday
night at Spencerville 6-5 in extra innings.
The Bearcats fall to 11-12 (4-4 NWC) on
the season .
Paulding improves to 11-9 (4-4 NWC) on
the season.
Paulding took an early 5-0 lead in the second inning after a leadoff error on a ground
ball, a fly ball to right field and a groundout
fielders choice; the Panthers strung together
three of their five total hits after two outs in
the inning.
Spencerville bounced back in the bottom
of the third inning with leadoff walk to Alex
Shumate and a groundout by leadoff hitter
Bailey Swartz. Destiny Price stroked a double
to score courtesy runner Haley Cobb. Kara

May drove in her school single-season record
42nd RBI of the season with a single and Julie
Mulholland followed with an RBI single of
her own to pull the Bearcats within 5-3.
From there, Bearcat senior pitcher Shumate
and her defense settled in to shut down the
Paulding offensive attack with five straight
scoreless innings.
During that span, Paulding could only
muster two singles, while Shumate struck out
four.
In the home half of the fifth inning, the
Bearcats tied the game at 5-5 with a leadoff
bunt single by Bailey Swartz, an RBI triple by
Destiny Price and a sac fly by May.
From there, Pauldings defense shut down
the Bearcats to two more singles and three
strikeouts.
With one out in the eighth, Paulding had a
hard-hit ground ball shot off the Bearcat first
basemans knee, the next Panther batter hit a
high fly ball to right field that was misplayed,
allowing the winning run to score from second.
The Bearcats comeback effort in the home
half came up a little short when catcher Jenna
Henline doubled to left field but was stranded
there to end the game.

a loophole that was present. Transfer students

not meeting an exception are ineligible for all
contests until after the first 50 percent of the maximum allowable regular season contests in those
sports in which the student participated during
the 12 months immediately preceding the transfer.
The revision would clarify that once eligibility is
restored, the student shall be eligible for no more
than 50 percent of the maximum allowable contests, quarters, halves or points which are permitted
in any recognized sport.

8.) Bylaw 4-7-2, Transfer, Exception 1
(Modification)
The modification would provide parents of students, whose parents have made a bona fide move
of at least 100 miles, the opportunity to choose a
school for their children to attend that best meets
the childs educational needs whether the school
is public or non-public. In addition, if both parents
have not made the move, extenuating circumstances presented that would prevent one parent from
making the move immediately would allow for
conditional eligibility for up to 90 days, and that
provision could be extended if medical or military
obligations prevent the move by one parent.

This proposed revision would clarify that the
change of custody must be between two parents/
individuals who live in two different school districts.

(Clarification)
OHSAA would only consider students for the
waiver when the familys home is actually under
construction or the appropriate paperwork has been
submitted that is prescribed by law to verify the
home purchase. Eligibility would then be extended
for 90 days only after which time the family must
be in residence in the home and submit the affidavit of bona fide residence in order to preserve
eligibility.

(Modification)
This proposed revision to the exception for
students who are victims of harassment, intimidation or bullying would reinforce the notion that all
claims must be memorialized in writing or in some
mediated format to representatives of the school

Good Vibrations
"St. Patrick's Day Veggies"
By Ed Clark
The music that moves us ...

The Beach Boys
Ah, the Sounds of Summer
Wouldnt It Be Nice (#8 single September
1966) to spend a few Endless
Summer (#1 compilation album 1974) days
listening to the Good Vibrations
(#1 single December 1966) of one of
Americas great bands, The Beach Boys.
In my comeuppance, I was lucky to have older
siblings with impeccable musical taste. Music
was nearly always in the air those early days and
perhaps no band caught the attention of my ears
more so than The Beach Boys. I simply couldnt
then, and havent now, gotten enough of the simple tempo, gorgeous harmony of these guys.
Brothers Brian, Dennis and Carl Wilson along
with cousin Mike Love and friend Al Jardine
(Brians high school football teammate) brought
the sound of Southern Cal surf music to the
mainstream pop scene in the early 1960s. I
can remember thinking the world stood still
as I drove (ink not yet dry on my new drivers
license) around (1975) listening to the Beach
Boys Endless Summer 8-track tape. (And the
music was from 1961-63!)
A few other good memory reminders:
Kokomo #1 1988
Help Me, Rhonda #1 1965
I Get Around #1 1964
California Girls #3 1965
Be True To Your School #6 1963
Do It Again #20 1968
In My Room #23 1963
God Only Knows #39 1966
Good Timin #40 1979
Little Deuce Coupe #15 1963
Make no mistake the songsmith genius of
Brian Wilson provided much of the great in the
body of work from this American band. Much

has been written regarding the mental health
struggle of Brian Wilson and understanding his
journey is perhaps best depicted in the 2015 biopic Love & Mercy starring John Cusack.
Wilson shared in a recent interview with
Billboard; I am proud that I have survived,
proud that I have weathered not just one storm,
but a lifetime of storms.
Years from now pop music history will flash
back smiling to the days of The Beach Boys
music. Brian Wilson may have summed it up
best (1988 Rock & Roll Hall of Fame speech)
I wanted to make joyful music that made other
people feel good. Thanks Brian Wilson and you
can be certain that youve succeeded again and
again and again. Good Vibrations.

5 simple tips to get dinner on the table
The
challenge
working
parents
face in maintaining
work-life balance is
often compared to a
juggling act. Finding
time together, especially on weeknights
when family schedules tend to be hectic,
is no small task.
But finding time
together, particularly
at the dinner table,
can pay a host of dividends. According to
the Family Dinner
Project, studies have
linked regular family
dinners with higher
grade-point averages
and self-esteem in
children, as well as
lower rates of obesity
and eating disorders
in both children and
adolescents.
Cook, writer, activist and mother of
two Katie Workman
knows full well how
difficult it can be to
make nightly dinners together part of
a familys routine.
But Workman, whose
latest book, Dinner
Solved! (Workman
Publishing), provides
100 family-friendly
recipes and varia-
tions to ensure that

everyone at the table
is happy, relishes the
opportunity to help
others make family
dinners a fun part of
their nightly routines.
Many of us put
so much pressure
on ourselves when
it comes to family
meals, says Workman. But when we
ease up on that pressure, dinner actually seems to happen
more often, and the
meals are a lot more
fun.
To help even
the busiest moms
and dads find time
for family dinners,
Workman offers the
following tips so
parents can produce
weeknight meals the
whole family can enjoy.
1. Less is more
Dont make yourself crazy trying to
master a recipe with
an endless ingredient
list on a Wednesday
night.
Weeknight
meals dont have to
be perfect or exotic.
Even the simplest
recipes can make for
needed to track and report various spreadsheets within the

Marketing team. Must have experience in Excel, Word,
PowerPoint. Full-time position Monday-Friday 8:00am-4:30pm.
WAREHOUSE/
BACK-UP ROUTE DRIVER

3. Elevate your
meal from simple to
sophisticated
Pairing weeknight
meals with the perfect wine can elevate
midweek meatballs
to something more
memorable.
4. Get a head start
on prep work
Whenever possible, reduce the stress
of weeknight meals
by doing some of
your meal prep long
before dinnertime.
Chop veggies for
the week on Sunday
nights or take a few
minutes each morning to gather ingredients for that nights
meal.
5. Make it a family affair
Make weeknight
meals more fun by
involving the whole
family. Parents can
let the kids peel carrots or measure rice
or perform other
age-appropriate activities.
Nightly
family
dinners help families
build stronger bonds,
and weeknight meals
need not be lavish
undertakings.

ORBS founder Chris Page makes last minute checks on recording equipment in the
groups mobile command post. (Putnam Sentinel/Steven Coburn-Griffis)
However, like any decent
if somewhat melodramatic piece of fiction,
the story has at its core an
element of truth.
On Saturday night at
8 p.m., Wes Klir opened
the doors of Fort Jennings
Memorial Hall to Ohio
Researchers of Banded
Spirits (ORBS), a professional team of ghost hunters
whose investigations into
the paranormal over the
past nine years have been
documented on Animal
Planets The Haunted;
Biography Channels My
Ghost Story; and on the
History Channels Haunted
History.
ORBS project manager, Karlo Zuzic, chose to
reach out to Klir after reading accounts of an aborted
Haunted House fundraiser
last October. Included in
the reports was Klirs firmly held conviction that some
of the memories lodged
within the building are still
playing out, that Memorial
Hall is, in a word, haunted.
Weve been a lot of places, Zuzic said. Chances
are, if hes having experiences here, theres spirit
activity here. Hopefully we
capture something.
Following a brief tour
and an historical overview
of the building, ORBS
team members set to work
installing an array of sensory gear intended to detect
and enable communication
with any paranormal presence. Digital video cameras and sound recorders,
radiation detectors, thermal
imaging cameras and spirit
boxes a device that utilizes radio frequencies to
open channels of communication were set up in
the basement as well as the
first and second floors of
Memorial Hall. Any readings potentially obtained by
these devices were then fed
to recording devices in the
teams mobile command
post, a black van parked
just outside.
With their equipment in
place, the team then joined
in a brief prayer before
breaking into groups and
beginning the process of
making contact with any
lingering spirits.
While
documenting
paranormal experiences is
ORBS bread and butter,
its team members passion,
equally important is their
commitment to supporting
historical landmarks across
Ohio and throughout the
nation.
I brought (Memorial
Hall) to the attention of
my team, and we decided we would love to help
raise money for the cause,
Zuzic said. We give back.
Weve raised a lot of money
for historical societies. Our
goal has always been to
raise money for our historical landmarks so they
can be around for others to
enjoy.
The group routinely
offers fundraising opportunities to organizations

such as that which supports
Memorial
Hall.
Such an opportunity in
Fort Jennings, penciled in
for some time in October
of this year, is possible.
Whether or not it actually
takes place depends on how
Saturdays efforts pan out,
whether or not the ORBS
team was able to detect,
or possibly even contact,
spirits.
In two weeks, after
analyzing all of the data
recorded over the course of
the four hours the team was
there, ORBS will deliver
its verdict. Having said
that, Zuzic made clear that
ORBS exists to corroborate
spirit activity, not debunk
it. Of the literally hundreds
of sites the group has visited over the past nine years,
Zuzic said that 99 percent
have proven active.
For Klir, while gaining
the funds necessary to keep
Memorial Hall a vibrant
part of the community is an
obvious boon, the adventure that unfolded was an
equally obvious thrill.
Weve put on some
good events in this building, Klir said, grinning.
Frankly, if I was a ghost
or some kind of afterworld
person, I would probably
want to stick around, too,
because some of the stuff
we do is pretty good.

Dresses
Patty Gengler, a member of

the ministry, helped find patterns
for the dresses and organize the
event. She says they decided to
participate when they went to
the district womens retreat and
met other women who were
sewing these dresses.
The simple dresses are
made from T-shirts, pillowcases and scraps of material
that are donated. Some dresses
are sleeveless and others are
made with T-shirts so the longer
sleeves allow girls in countries
with more conservative dressing guidelines to wear them.
Each dress has a tag sewn
onto it that says the organizations name. According to
Dress a Girl Around the World,
the purple tag can discourage
predators by showing the girl

is under the care of an organization.
The dresses are then sent
around the world to young girls
who need them. According to
the website for Dress a Girl
Around the World, the dresses
are delivered to girls in more
than 80 countries, including the
United States.
Wherever the need is, thats
where it goes, Gengler said.
Many of the girls who
receive these dresses have
never had a new dress before.
Dress a Girl Around the
World believes these bright,
new dresses can discourage
predators because the dresses
show the girls as well cared for.
Gengler said the dresses help
the girls from being taken and
trafficked.
Kathy Gengler, another

member of the ministry, said
this was their fourth meeting.
We are doing it in stages, so
everybody gets to participate,
she said.
She mentioned their goal
was to make 200 dresses for the
organization. However, Patty
Gengler said they had another
goal, too.
I would like to see every
church in Delphos do this, she
said. Id even go there and
help them get started.
Others who live too far away
to come to every event can make
dresses in their homes and send
them to the Wesleyan Church.
For those who want to participate, Patty Gengler encourages them to contact her at the
Wesleyan Church at 419-6951723 or visit the Dress a Girl
Around the World website.

75 Years Ago 1941

Council
They control the roads, he added.
Leaning on the side of caution, Councilman
Josh Gillespie said he didnt feel it was councils place to become involved.
I dont think we have to be involved in
highway patrol actions, he said.
While no resolution was achieved, Police
Chief Mark Slate, who was unable to attend
Mondays meeting due to a prior commitment, said he appreciated the extra patrol on
the citys streets.
I dont mind them being here at all, Slate
told The Delphos Herald Tuesday. They are
taking care of the traffic issues so we can concentrate on the calls we receive. We are down
on manpower so we can use the help.
Slate went on to say that residents can
prevent a run-in with any officer by obeying
traffic laws.
People need to use their turn signals,
come to complete stops and drive the speed
limit, he added.
A raise for auxiliary police was heard for
the time by council. The ordinance amends
the pay rate from $10 per hour to $11 per hour.
Councilman Mark Clement asked how
long it had been since the auxiliary officers
had received a pay raise.
It has been at least 15 years, Mayor
Gallmeier said. We budgeted in $4,000 in the
budget to cover the increase so the money is
already in there.
In Safety Service Director Shane Colemans
absence, Gallmeier gave the city officials
report.
We have a meeting with Marion Township
about our fire and rescue contract with them
on May 23, Gallmeier said. Ill bring you
anything that comes from that at the next
meeting.
He also said paperwork for a $100,000
grant for upgrading the citys meter reading
system to remote read was filed and the grant
recipients will be announced later in the summer.
The new filters have been installed in the
pool and the pool is full, he added.
Anyone who purchased a pool pass during
the Christmas special needs to redeem their
certificates at the city building and no pool
passes will be sold at the pool this year.
The Ohio Department of Transportation
have approved repairs to bridges over Flat
Fork Creek on East First, Third and Seventh
streets.

percent of eligible costs associated with those

repairs, Gallmeier said.
Its the season for mowing and that can
cause problem at the wastewater treatment
plant and in the sewer lines.
We are asking residents to not blow
their grass clippings into the street because
they can clog the sewers, Gallmeier said.
Anyone who sees this happening can call the
city building or the police department.
There is a city ordinance dealing with the
matter. The offense is a minor misdemeanor
and can come with a fine of up to $150.
Staying with the mowing theme, residents
are asked to keep with the yard maintenance.
If the grass in someones yard becomes
a nuisance, the city will mow it at a cost of
$250 plus labor, Gallmeier said. Its more
cost-effective for neighbors or family to help
keep up with the chore.
Last year, four yards were mowed by the
city.
A water/sewer adjustment for the property
at 508 W. Fourth St. for $534.48 narrowly
passed. No votes were cast by Gillespie,
Grothous and Andy Daley. The homeowner
received a letter noting the higher-than-usual
usage and the owner found a toilet running in
the vacant home. The leak has been repaired
and the water turned off to the residence.
Gallmeier also offered a clarification on
the citys policy for granting water/sewer
adjustment.
I think some people are under the impression that we forgive the whole amount of the
request, he said. We take the average usage
over the last three years and if the bill in question is more than 200 percent of that average,
the customer is billed the highest usage from
that three year period.
Council suspended the rules and passed
an ordinance on second reading amending
the citys rates for emergency medical services. The rates are revisited annually to
make sure they are in line with the Milliman
Medical Index. The rates in effect as of June
1 include: Emergency Basic Life Support
(per person, per conveyance) will be $649.
51; Emergency Advance Life Support (per
person, per conveyance) will be $708.55;
Emergency Advance Life Support 2 (per
person, per conveyance) will be $826.64; and
mileage per loaded mile will be $12.69.
The rates are revisited yearly.
City Auditor Tom Jettinghoff has called a
budget hearing for 6:30 p.m. June 6 for the
2017 Budget.
