Commissioners approve annexation of 58.4 acres to village of Galena after mayoral letter

The board continued administrative review and then approved Resolution 26-637 to grant an annexation petition for 58.4 acres in Berkshire Township to the village of Galena. Staff reported receipt of a letter from the village mayor clarifying how the village would address road maintenance concerns; based on that letter staff recommended the board find the condition described in section 709.023(e) of the Revised Code had been satisfied.

Agent Tom Hart of Painter and Associates LLC signed up to comment and said he had no further remarks beyond the staff recap. Commissioners voted to approve the annexation petition in open session; the transcript shows 'Aye' votes from Commissioners Lewis and Merrill.
