Scio awaits annexation appellate court decision time employee Reese Beasley has requested to drop to part-time to accommodate his outside employment. In doing so, Sierra Stull has requested to become a full-time employee. It was further agreed that the probationary period has been met for her to receive full-time pay. This change will become effective following this next pay period. Additionally, DJFS will have available summer help as of the second week of June. The addition of three employees has been requested.

Village Administrator Jake Tubaugh announced that the appellate court held the hearing for the annexation on May 3. A decision is pending with a panel of three judges.

As a reminder for Scio residents, Tubaugh also stated that court dates have previously been offered for

Ordinance 2021-007. All depositions have been heard.

The village would like to reiterate for residents that mosquito spraying for the village will commence May 24, followed by the additional days of June 28, July 26, Aug. 9, and Sept. 20. The spraying will progress from 8 p.m. to 8:45 p.m. as the times change for dusk in the summer months.

It was also discussed where paving would take place with the Street Department. The paving project will begin on Carrollton Street , which needs repairs. The village council has decided that a portion of the street can be maintained and paved now instead of waiting.

The key roadways that will additionally be paved include Allensworth Drive and Eastport Road. Following these repairs, more roadways will be completed as needed. Also, as a reminder, the state Route 646 and College Street project, which expects to start in June, will last 90 days once it begins.

Repairs for a property owner who reported an issue with the sewer as part of the upgrade on East College Street and Fowler Avenue are on hold as the project has a warranty. Multiple attempts have been made to contact the engineer with no response. This will be ongoing until it is resolved. All pending projects for the Wastewater Treatment Plant are still ongoing. The village will hold its annual clean up on June 3 between 9 a.m. and noon. Please only bring items that can be disposed of. Residents who are unsure of an item should inquire about disposal before bringing it to be discarded.
