Council

With four guests including the Ada Icon and Kenton Times, the Ada Council chambers in the municipal building were at capacity seating on Tuesday, September 20.

The 90-minute meeting included a 46-minute executive session with EMS Chief Tom Miller with no action taken.

OPEN FLOOR
During the open floor period, Dustin Jordan answered questions from the council regarding the 150th Fire Convention itinerary proposal (2024). Council focused their discussion on the impact on Main St. traffic and whether the road would need to be closed or traffic temporarily diverted, as is done for shorter parades. Council passed a motion that it would continue to consider the application.

Preliminary details are on page 13 of the council packet.

The Village of Ada has announced a public meeting for the Grandview Boulevard Reconstruction Project at 6:30 p.m. on Tuesday, September 27.
