Mayor, Greg Reinhart presented the Administrator’s Agenda. The agenda consisted of the following:

• Two of the new trees along Williams Street have been broken off due to weather. Laurie’s NatureScapes have been notified. They will be replaced at a later time.
• The Administrator would like the blinking light at the intersection of Perry Street and Cherry Street be removed. The light does not currently work. There is currently “Stop” signs located at each side of the intersection and they are labeled as a “4-way” Stop. He believes that the blinking light is not needed at this intersection and is too costly to operate and maintain.
• Gathering information about the Defiance/Paulding Consolidated Job and Family Services work program. They offer a Work Experience Program to the people they serve. This program helps to give participants real work experience and skills to assist them to get back in the work environment.
• Emerald Acres project: Since the last council meeting there has been an additional 420 feet of storm drain installed on the south side of Helen Street. There has now been approximately 1,120 feet of new storm drain installed of the south side of Helen Street. We will continue to work installing new storm mains, surface drains, and catch basins where needed. Also, ground restoration will start where settling has begun.
