Oberlin trims proposed garbage rate hike to 20 percent
Oberlin city council amended a 65 percent proposed commercial waste fee increase to 20 percent after hearing that about 60 percent of collection work serves commercial accounts which pay roughly 25 percent of costs. The move, supported by Councilman Sonner, aims for a phased shift with rates varying by class and concerns about impact on schools. The meeting also authorized $1.27 million in revenue bonds for a new electrical substation and heard hospital governance questions, water supply policy notes, and a land purchase for city use.

Wellington couple seek council guidance on annexation plan
Wellington Larry and Daniel Rospert asked the village council for direction after their bid to annex land south of Wellington for a meat processing plant was rejected March 31. They proposed building their own sewage treatment facility at about 40000, investing about 150000 in the plant, and remaining in Wellington Township without annexation if needed. The ordinance requires annexation for village water and sewer services, as neighbors opposed the project. The ordinance committee will report by May 1, with a potential annexation hearing and waiting periods delaying any action until November. The Rosperts’ land is industrial zone in Wellington Two, with a township building permit.
