The Oberlin Council did not meet on Monday, August 10, as scheduled due to COVID 19. Several members of the town’s staff had been diagnosed with the virus.
The meeting rescheduled for Monday, August 17, was canceled due to a death in one of the families associated with the town hall staff. The town will have to wait for its September meeting. The town will meet again to conduct business on Monday, September 14, its regularly scheduled meeting time.
The town also set a special meeting for Monday, September 28, at 103 E. 6th Ave., Oberlin, for the purpose of approving millage rates set by the assessor’s office recently. The town’s legal notice stated, “the estimated amount of tax revenues to be collected in the next year from the increased millage is $22,615.74, and the amount of increase in taxes attributable to the millage increase is $268.66.” The meeting will meet the guidelines set forth for approving the rates.
In the meantime, Oberlin’s town hall remains closed to the public. Employees are working and can be reached by calling the town hall (639-4333). All correspondence can be mailed or put under the door if necessary. The mayor will announce when regular hours will resume for the public sometime in the future.
