New Business

There have been numerous undesirable animal and rodent issues in the Village lately.  Many of these originate from abandoned or unkempt buildings.  As a side note, violators of the Village junk ordinance will be sent a letter requesting that their property be cleaned up as soon as possible.  There was a discussion about a few decrepit structures in the Village that need to be torn down.  The question was raised if the Ohio Revised Code covered such situations.
