Tuesday evening, council met to discuss updates to the wastewater treatment plant that would put them in compliance with Environmental Protection Agency(EPA) guidelines set to take effect in 2023, which requires wastewater overflow to be eliminated by 2023. Council approved a request for Jones & Henry Engineers to update the proposals from the numbers they have from 2014 for the project. Council has been very appreciative of the relationships they have had with all the other agencies involved in this process.

Elida is currently working on plans to give students in the village and American Township a safer route to school. The Allen County Regional Planning, Elida School District, ODOT District 1 and American Township have partnered together to use the Safe Routes to School Grant. Through this state grant, they can get up to $400,000 towards updating signage by the schools, flashing school zone signs, improve sidewalks and crosswalks. The village administrator says if the grant is approved it will set an example to the surrounding school districts.
