Mr. Jack Lading of 603 West Main Street questioned where the names of the streets in the new sub-divisions come from. He suggests that Madison Village pay tribute to past, deceased officials that have served this community in many capacities, and have a Street bearing their name. Administrator Sample stated that the developer puts the suggested name on the Street. Planning Commission then reviews it, passes it on to Council and ultimately Council would have the final say. Typically, except in a few cases, Planning Commission allows the developer to use what is proposed. Administrator Sample suggested that Mr. Lading put his suggestion in writing and he will get a copy to the Planning Commission.
None.

The leaf pick up last week was overwhelming and this week looks to be the same. Hopefully by Thanksgiving, all leaves will be picked up.
Administrator Sample announced that he received round one of the drawings for the proposed Village Hall and has given everyone a copy. Any suggestions, ideas or comments are welcome and will be passed along.
Mayor Evangelista passed around booklets on proposed clock designs. Although, we have no way of funding this yet, he wants Council to be aware of what is available. Mr. Dan Winterich of Verden Clocks had some good suggestions of where the clock could be placed.
Next year is the Bicentennial of Ohio. Mayor Evangelista would like to put banners down Main Street instead of flags just in the Village. The banners would say something like ‘Ohio Bicentennial, Madison Village’. Cost would certainly be a factor.
