Drain of water revenues spurs concern in Sheffield
Sheffield Village Council voiced worry over dwindling water revenues after switching from Elyria to Avon Lake. Clerk Ridenour warned it would hurt coffers unless lower rates take effect, as $11,800 remains in village funds. Mayor Pando noted pending system connections and arrival of inner sleeve this week. Council approved Ordinance 886 for cable to schools and Ordinance 892 to seek bids for a cable franchise, though the latter is a nonbinding prototype. Firefighter appointments were made on probation and a resolution urged halting the nuclear arms race.
