Grantsville town council met in the Calhoun Courthouse little courtroom on Monday at 7 p.m.

Thomas Aman, the town’s bond attorney, was present to submit several resolutions concerning the sewer project, which were approved by council.

Included were a proposed supplemental resolution providing for issuance of Sewer Revenue Bonds, Series 2009 A, and Sewer Revenue Bonds, Series 2009 B; draw resolution for the payment of invoices from the bonds; and sweep resolution pertaining to the automatic payment of bonds to Municipal Bond Commission.

Council approved the appointment of Nick Wood to the sanitation board.

Dan Ferrell of Thrasher Engineering was present to answer questions on the sewer project.

He announced that a public meeting will be held Tuesday, Nov. 17, 10 a.m., in the little courtroom for contractors, inspectors, attorneys, mayor, and council.

According to Ferrell, construction is ready to begin. He informed the council that only a handful of municipalities have received the grant the town has obtained; therefore, Grantsville is fortunate.

Council members thanked him and Tim Meeks of Mid-Ohio Valley Regional Council for the labor and effort they have put forth for the town.
