Pomeroy Council Delays Action on New Annual Appropriation
Pomeroy council failed to act on a revamped appropriation ordinance after lengthy discussion. The council plans a special meeting to review the 3,000 limit and potential CWA projects while delaying fire department changes and other budget items. A bid from Pomeroy National Bank at 1 percent was accepted for village funds, replacing the Farmers Bank at 4 percent. West Main Street curb work and deputy marshal appointment were deferred, with several payments approved and others held for later decision.
