Bluffton's Monday, March 23, council meeting will be a first for the village.
It is scheduled for 5:30 p.m. (a change from 7 p.m.) and will take place in the police garage behind the town hall, according to Kevin Nickel, village fiscal officer.
"The intention is for this to be a very short, stand up meeting, for the purposes of approving the bills to be paid," he told the Icon.
"It is unlikely that there will be any other action unless some is needed related to COVID-19 or other emergency action to keep government functioning."

Bluffton council approved its Village Planning Commission recommendation to permit 3S Development Group, LLC, to proceed with Phase II of its Parkview Development. The action took place on Monday.
Phase II opens up approximately 13 acres and 26 property sites. Derek Snyder of 3S told council that company wants to start as soon as possible. The next phase includes two retention ponds that will have water year-around. The property lots will be slightly larger than those in Phase I.

Bluffton trash and recycle customers will have a new carrier beginning June 1.
Rumpke Waste and Recycling was awarded the bid as the village’s carrier during Monday’s council meeting. The current carrier, Republic, also submitted a bid and it was not accepted.
Council approved a three-year contract with Rumpke, who is Ohio’s largest recycler by volume. Customers will eventually have their current green and blue totes removed and replaced with totes from the new carrier.
