The Nutrien warehouse project is making progress today. The Shawnee Township Board of Trustees held a special meeting of the board this morning to pass an enterprise zone agreement for Nutrien's proposed warehouse project. The facility will store parts and other materials that come in for maintenance work. These types of investments do a lot for Shawnee Township.

First, Council will perform a third and final reading on a resolution formally expressing their opposition to the proposed supermajority rule amendment on State Issue 1. Thereafter, Council will vote on ordinances whether to permit Mayor Sharetta Smith to enter a contract with Mercy Health St. Rita's on the construction of a new childcare facility as well as authorizing Mayor Smith to pursue an agreement with the Lima City School Board of Education for matters concerning the Lima Community Aquatic Center. Additionally, Council will vote on the creation of the Lima Aquatic Center Capital projects fund and whether the city will move to pursue a natural gas aggregation program similar to the electric aggregation program passed on the May ballot. Originally, Council was scheduled to vote on these items at Monday night's regular meeting; however, only five councilors were present. At the end of Monday night's meeting, Council President John Nixon explained why voting Monday night was not possible.

The Human Resources Committee for the Lima City Council held a special meeting to discuss how the council can help the city administration better their hiring process, but much like the current process it was not all smooth sailing.
