The Village of Ada held its January 21 meeting in the expansive meeting room of Community Health Professionals at 1200 S. Main, hoping for a larger than usual number of attendees because the subject of raising Village utility rates was on the agenda. With temperatures hovering around zero that evening, there were seven total guests in person and on Zoom, including media.

PROPOSED UTILITY RATE INCREASES

Visitors asked questions about four proposed ordinances that would provide for water, sanitary sewer and storm water rate increases to cover anticipated operating expenses, capital improvements and debt payments.

Jerry is survived by his sister, Martha Long of Ada; and three nieces. 

Jerry retired from Stanley Steamer of Columbus.  

It was his wish to be cremated. A private family service will be held at a later date.
