After a serving on Bluffton council since 2002 and as council president since 2004, Fulcomer, Ph. D., who is vice president for enrollment management and student life at Bluffton University, decided to seek the mayoral office of the village following Fred Rodabaugh's announcement last January that he would not seek reelection.
Bluffton council okayed 2012 appropriations on Monday, which total approximately $6.2 million. The largest expense is a projected $1.4 million water improvement project that will take place only if village voters approve a one-quarter percent income tax on the spring primary.
If voters say "yes" then the village will proceed with the replacement of water lines on the South Lawn-Grove Street area, Sunset Drive and Geiger Street. The one-quarter income tax would be taken off once the project is paid for.
A meeting of the Village of Bluffton's Fire and Rescue Committee has been scheduled for Monday, Nov. 28, at 7:30 p.m.on the third floor of the Bluffton town hall prior to the regularly scheduled Bluffton council meeting.
Pam Raabe, Bluffton elementary teacher, has tendered her resignation to the Bluffton school board, effective Nov. 28. Her resignation is one items on the 7:30 p.m., Monday, Nov. 21, Bluffton school board meeting, according to Greg Denecker, Bluffton superintendent.
