Lorain Reevaluates Exit From Regional Planning Commission
Lorain Councilman Thomas Gallo urged a move to withdraw from the Lorain County Regional Planning Commission citing a $300,000 study and the Gould block controversy. The proposal, sent to the finance and claims committee, hinges on duplicative services and rising dues as Lorain remains the county’s largest city central to the planned transportation network.

Wellington allocates funds from income tax levy
Wellington village council transferred 34 643 dollars into three funds from the one percent municipal income tax. The recreation fund received 4 750 dollars, sewer 10 100 dollars, and the general fund 19 793 dollars after a recent change raising general fund use to 75 percent. The move follows talk of a possible 0 5 percent tax for workers who pay elsewhere. Mayor Edwards and board members discussed sidewalk projects on East Hamilton and South Main, to connect with Joe Farago’s property, with summer installation planned and CETA labor previously used. Also approved were rearrangements in the clerk’s office and plans for blacktopping Kelly Street with county cost sharing. Funding concerns about Lorain County Jail overcrowding were raised, including a suggestion to avoid high per diem costs by housing local prisoners elsewhere.

Oberlin considers $1000 per acre sewer fee ordinance
Oberlin City Council discussed a storm sewer drainage ordinance requiring developers to pay a $1,000 an acre fee before building permits. The measure would fund long term sewer updates through on site and off site runoff controls, but critics warned it could chill development and raise housing costs. The ordinance was sent to planning and public utility commissions for review before early next year adoption.
