Dear Family and Friends,

Bluffton's council packet and agenda for Monday's meeting are now on The Icon. One point of business is that Jamie Mehaffie, village administrator, says that the village has received notification from the Ohio Public Works Commission that its request for financial assistance has been approved for several water main replacement projects.

In other action, council will consider increasing the prices of cemetery lots at Maple Grove Cemetery.
