ANNA – Police Chief Scott Evans will retire effective July 31, Mayor Mark Pulfer reported during Anna Village Council’s meeting on May 26.

Evans will be able to use his four weeks of vacation prior to his retirement date, Pulfer said.

Additionally, Pulfer reported the income tax administrator was retiring effective May 28. For the time being, Fiscal Officer Stacy Meyer and Utility Clerk Jennifer Maurer will handle the income tax duties, and compensation will be discussed.

Police statistics are available for review, the mayor said.

Administrator Mike Homan said 302 N. Pike St. would have equipment arrive to tear down the garage, and they are working on the plumbing.

An extension was given last year to a homeowner regarding driveway paving. The completion deadline is May 31. No work has been started, however, Homan said a signed contract with a contractor was shown.

The annexation on the south side of town has been approved by the county commissioners.

Homan reported South Street reconstruction should start paving the following week. The completion deadline is June 1, and they are aware of the $600 per day penalty, Homan said.

Meyer reported the Ohio Department of Natural Resources approved the playground equipment pieces for the grant, and they have been ordered.

The first disbursement for the South Street reconstruction has been processed, Meyer said. The state auditor’s office has decided to waive the Uniform Accounting Network user fee and hardware charge for the third quarter.
