PEMBERVILLE — Village council tried and failed three times Tuesday night to fill a vacancy in its ranks. Council recorded a trio of 3-2 votes on three different residents who had indicated their interest in filling a vacancy created by the June 8 resignation of Ryan Fuerst. Village Solicitor Michael Marsh told council four affirmative votes were needed. If council can’t come up with a replacement by July 9, the job of naming a replacement falls to Mayor Gordon Bowman. Council could call a special meeting to try to break the deadlock or consider other candidates. Michelle Hesselbart, William Long and Howard Shirling had all indicated an interest in the vacancy and were in attendance at a special meeting a week ago where council learned about their interests. All three attended Tuesday’s council meeting but made no comments. Council did: • Approve an ordinance that agrees to allow the Ohio Department of Transportation to wait until fiscal year 2014 to pave Ohio 105 through the village. Bowman told council ODOT now plans to pave Route 105 west of the village to Ohio 199 in the spring of 2013. • Heard Bowman read into the record a letter from the mayor of Rodinghausen, Germany, Pemberville’s sister village, expressing regrets in the recent death of former Pemberville Mayor Gustava Oberhouse. She was the person who drafted the sister village agreement. • Went into executive session to discuss a personnel issue. |
