Blanchester Village Council recently approved money for roof repairs on the Blanchester Municipal Building & Community Center, but Mayor Chad Hollon said Thursday night that two other areas of the building has not been fixed and is leaking.

Middleton Construction was recently hired to make the additional roof repairs. “The part he fixed is not leaking,” Hollon said. “What he did cured 95 percent of the problem, but the entrance at the back of the building leaked when the village got this building,” Hollon said.

The mayor said there is another leak at one of the caps on the building and it also needs to be fixed.

Middleton Construction will repair both places at a cost of $8,500 which was approved by council.

The village was given a one-year guarantee on labor and 20-years on the material.

In his street department report, Wayne Clifton said 900 square feet on the south side of Main Street has been patched.

Clifton said street department employees have been picking up leaves. “We’ve got all the leaves that were raked so we are way ahead. As a matter of fact, 56 loads of leaves have come out of this town already.”

Council gave its approval for the Blanchester Eagles Lodge liquor license to be moved from its present location to the former bowling alley where the Eagles will be moving.

Paul Jackson of the Blanchester Parks & Recreation board of directors, said plans are underway for the Hometown Holiday celebration on Dec. 5. Details will be released soon.

At a recent meeting of council, a motion was made to expend $13,000 to McCarty & Associates for the engineering on the Fancy Street bridge project.

A special council meeting will be held Dec. 3 at 11 a.m. in council chambers for action on the village’s temporary budget.
