At the March 7 meeting of the Ada Council, all councilors were present. In addition to the Kenton Times and Ada Icon, Ray Finnegan of Aspen Energy was present.

The council reviewed 4 claims registers with Fiscal Officer Patty Navin, learning that PUCO is now charging utility operators an annual registration fee that is part of legislation ensuring that anyone excavating or operating underground facilities follows safe digging practices.

Moving Mr. Finnegan ahead in the agenda, Mayor Dave Retterer opened the public comment portion of the meeting. Finnegan presented information on electricity aggregation opportunities for the Village. Gas and electrical aggregation is being adopted by some area communities, including villages and unincorporated areas. To make this change, aggregation must be passed by local ballot.
