Bluffton's third floor meeting room was packed on the evening of Monday, May 23, as Village Council met for their regular meeting, but much of the discussion was anything but regular. More than forty spectators were on hand.
SWEARING IN OF NEW POLICE OFFICER
The first order of business was Mayor Rich Johnson performing the solemn duty of swearing in a new police officer. Skyler Noble took the oath as the Village's newest full-time officer, and afterward received a hearty round of applause.
The Bluffton Board of Education met on Monday May 16 to receive financial and administrative reports, approve treasurer’s transactions, agreements, and contracts.
VISITORS
During the visitors segment, Bluffton High School teacher Nick Rackley reported on the E-sports program which now has 20-40 participants per semester. Bluffton is one of the “alpha originals” in the league, according to Rackley. Four students have received E-sports scholarships to colleges and universities.
