PRINCEVILLE – Optimism over a more normal summer is evident in all walks of life, even at meetings of the Princeville Village Board.
During its March 16 meeting, the village board heard discussions about the village’s annual Heritage Days event, which was not held last year but is currently being planned for June 24-27 at Princeville’s Stevens Square Park.
More specifically, the board approved a request from the Akron-Princeville Fire Department seeking to use a city lot for their annual beer tent.
Village President Jeff Troutman said the board gave tentative approval of the beer tent, which is a fundraiser for the Akron-Princeville department.
“Heritage Days is supposed to be a go as far as I know,” Troutman said, noting the state is not yet allowing the issuance of special-event liquor licenses. “We can’t issue one until the state opens up a little more. It sounds like maybe in mid-April they will start to ease [liquor license] restrictions.”
The board also accepted the lone bid of $15,000 which was received for a house and lot at 216 S. Walnut Ave.
The board also voted to approve an updated 2021 version of the Princeville Personnel Policy Handbook. Troutman said the new handbook includes “some clarifications and some state laws that were added and were not in our original one.” All village employees were given a copy of the handbook that they are to return before April 6.
The board also approved reinvesting for another three months a $100,000 CD that had expired. The investment will also be discussed at the next board meeting.
Troutman said the village is looking at different options for the money, but he noted, “we’re kind of limited with what we can do.”
The board also heard a treasurer’s report and committee reports before adjourning.
The next board meeting will be Monday, April 5, at 7 p.m.
