CRESTLINE — For the first time since Ohio’s Stay-At-Home Order was enacted, Crestline Village Council met via Zoom and livestreamed their meeting on Facebook so residents could still communicate with the council during the meeting.

Crestline Fire Chief Steve Krock announced during the meeting that the person that was under quarantine for possible COVID-19 that facilitated the need last weekend for two firefighters to be quarantined has the results of her tests now.

“It took 10 days, which now it is supposed to be less wait time, and she has tested negative,” Krock said. “Our guys are good to go.”

He also reminded residents that there is no open burning allowed within the village.

Village Administrator John Rostash said the administration and village employees are working hard to keep everything operating as normal as possible.

“We appreciate everyone working with us, especially paying utility bills through alternate methods,” Rostash said.

In his report to council, Rostash said the service department will pick up any brush residents have piled at the curb.

“The compost facility is now open on the second and fourth Saturdays of each month from 8 a.m. until noon,” he said. “Also, the service department will be reconditioning alleys to get rid of potholes that have developed over the winter.”

He encouraged residents to call village hall with the location of any alleys that have potholes that need filled.

Crestline Police Chief Jeff Shook said he and Krock are working together to ensure that their workers are protected as well as residents through the current pandemic.

Mayor Linda Horning Pitt said preliminary figures are in for the 2020 Census for the village and 45.9 percent of residents so far have submitted their data.

“The majority of residents have completed the census online and I want to thank them for doing that,” she said. “You have until April 8 to do it online then they will be sending out the paper forms.”

The sewer, water and public utilities committee will have a meeting Monday at 5 p.m. to discuss a contact for water tower management.

Resolutions to confirm Aaron Reinhart as the water treatment plant manager and operator of record for the village and the mayor’s appointments of Ryan Novik as a full-time patrol officer and Austin Heydinger as a part-time firefighter were approved by council. An ordinance to approve appropriations for supplies for the police and fire departments was also approved.

A resolution to sell village personal property and equipment that is no longer being used through an internet auction site and an ordinance to amend the water service deposit were kept to second readings.

The next regular council meeting is April 20 at 6:30 p.m. and will take place on Zoom.
