Vicki Owen-Merry of the Navarre-Bethlehem Park Board wishes to thank the Village employees and council members, the township employees and board members for their help at the park. The movie night went well. Music in the Park is scheduled for September 8, 2018 from 4-7pm. The closed pavilion has been painted along with the signs in the park. A golf scramble is planned on October 14, 2018 at the Elms Country Club.

PUBLIC PARTICIPATION
Many residents in attendance spoke in opposition of using Kimble as the exclusive trash carrier. They want to be able to choose their own trash service. They do not like the fact that they could not opt out.

Attorney Edmund Mack distributed deliberation materials to council. He noted that Lawrence Township and Canton Township rejected bids for an exclusive hauler, noting that residents wanted to choose their own hauler. Massillon has Kimble as their preferred, but not exclusive company for the collection of waste and recycling. Massillon also requires haulers to be licensed by the city. There is no data to prove an exclusive trash carrier will help the streets last longer. Kimble does not accept responsibility for damage to above ground utility lines. It was also noted in Kimble’s bid specs that any increase in solid waste district fees would be passed through to the Village. He requested council to consider preserving your tax payer’s choices.

Julie Monroy from Kimble stated they would work with the Village and the customers with any low wire issues.

FINANCE
Clerk-Treasurer Anne Johnson gave council a copy of today’s check register, the bills and claims and August financial statements.
