Monroeville Board Meeting Details Corrected
The Reflector corrects a prior report naming Myron Gerber as water and sewage head. Roscoe Oetzel is the water filtration Plant superintendent. The EPA rejected Mayor Salisbury’s proposal to cut Oetzel’s salary by 100 dollars monthly amid a projected water fund deficit. Oetzel’s name appears in fallout from a July flood over a drained water tank last weekend.
