OPWC Resolution- County Road 5 project: Village Administrator Fitzcharles explained that this resolution is for the County Road 5 Paving Project that we would like to submit to OPWC that will be completed in cooperation with the Board of Williams County Commissioners as well as St Joseph Township Trustees. Williams County Commissioners will be the lead applicant. We request for Council to approve the cooperative agreement and our portion of allocated costs. We will apply for 48% through the grant funding which would leave 52% local share to be split 50/50 between St Joe Township and the Village of Edgerton. Currently the estimate is anticipated to be around $23,820 for the Village and the same for St Joe Township Trustees.
