hearing
on
the
rezoning
of
1-10
West
Union
Street
rezoning,
the
entire
parcel
to
a
be
one's
own
will
align
the
property
with
others
in
the
area.
Once
the
councilman
moved
to
the
business

of
the

Boy
Scout
Troop

the
flag

honor

led

in
the
Pledge

Allegiance.
A
A
Mayor
Patterson
breached
the
council
about
a
proposed
development
project
on
dairy
lane.
This
project
will
consist
of
a
new
construction
of
an
additional

the
existing
eight
bed
respite
centre.
The
completed
facility
will
include
16
beds
and
will
be
named
the
atom
Amanda
mental
health
rehab
center
in
honor
of
the
two
Ohioans
who
lost
their
lives
while
searching
for
an
answer
to
their
serious
health
issues.
Mayor
Patterson
shared
communication
from
Columbia
Gas
requesting
to
extend
their
infrastructure
contract
through
2022,
noting
there
may
be
a
monthly
increase
for
the
columbia

The
mayor
also
shared
a
letter
to
our

Church
condemning

ban
on
immigrants.
