A recent Council item (page 14 of February 18 packet) creating an agreement for use of a storage building by Keith's Hardware had me scratching my head. Was there to be no rent charged for the building?
An email exchange with Village Administrator Jamie Hall has provided further explanation for the arrangement. As has been done with past tenants including the previous owner of the hardware store, Keith's Hardware will pay for electricity used in the Public Works building which includes lights, use of maintenance shop equipment (welder, drills, grinders, etc) along with trickle charge equipment for trucks and door openers.
The December 2024 electricity bill was $374.50 and the size of the building used by Keith's Hardware is 80' x 60' (4,800 square feet).

TROY __ Three Ada High School wrestlers competed at the double-elimination Div. III district tournament at Hobart Arena, February 28-March 1.
Bulldog junior Silas Riblet lost his first match in the 126 lbs. class to Newark Catholic sophomore Max Childers by pin at 1:53.
In the consolation bracket, Riblet bounced back to win his next match by pin at 2:45 over freshman Hudson Baxter of South Charleston SE.
In his next consolation bout on Saturday, Riblet lost a tight 11-10 decision to sophomore Luke Neukam of Clermont Northeastern. He was eliminated with a 1-2 record at the event.
Ada's Carmen Mancuso (in orange) decided that temps had "warmed up enough to be bearable," so she joined friends for the 2025 Ohio Northern Polar Plunge. Still terrified, she found that "I didn’t register the cold until I dunked my head... It felt like I couldn’t inhale air into my lungs. I ran straight out of the water and into a dry set of clothing... The cold was painful, but it turned into energy for the remainder of the day." Would she do it again as a senior? No.... Yes.... We'll see! PHOTO Ohio Northern.
