The June 26 meeting of the Bluffton Council followed on the heels of two public information meetings about the Village's new natural gas aggregation status. Several Councilors and Administrators participated and Councilor Ben Stahl had a pithy endorsement for joining the aggregation managed by Palmer Energy:  "I work full time. Their market analyst works full time trying to beat the utility's rate, I don't think I have time to do better than him."

The meeting packet is available HERE.
