PERRYSVILLE − Mayor Heather Mullinnex announced at Monday's council meeting that the village offices will be moved into the old Farmers and Savings Bank building on Bridge Street in the next few weeks.

The bank, which closed its Perrysville office two years ago, has given the building to the village, the mayor said after the March 6 session.

"The bank retained the right to keep an ATM on the property,” Mullinnex said.

Council members are looking into possible solutions to better maintain lights on the ball fields at the village park.

The council also contracted Lu-Crest Pest Control in Perrysville to do mosquito spraying for the trails area in the village parks.

Mullinnex announced that a Perrysville newsletter, conceived by Councilman Lonnie Harris, will be attached to the village website at villageofperrysville.org. Harris will maintain the website, which was developed by Henley printing in Loudonville, while the Perrysville Economic Development group will provide information in the newsletter.

Council took several actions involving the transfer from the Board of Public Affairs-government to the newly adopted Village Administrator system, including an update of the village handbook, amending codified ordinances to reflect the changes, and updating the safety handbook.

Council also adopted permanent appropriations for 2023.

Mullinnex said the village is seeking grants for several projects, including redoing electrical service at the community center building, replacing the sidewalk by the Community Center, and acquiring new playground equipment for the park.

Next council session will be 7 p.m. Monday, April 3 in council chambers in the Community Center.
