The city's cash balance in that fund currently sits at about 175 days, said Finance Director Jim Pyers. Council increased the amount that can be in the General Fund after a financial task force recommended giving council and Mayor Jamie Howey more flexibility in the case of a financial catastrophe befalling the city. THIS MAN ON Center Street in Orrville may think he has the fall leaf raking finished, but all he needs to do is look up to see he isn't done yet. Several property owners in the South Grant and West Henry streets area were in attendance at City Council's meeting Monday evening for the first reading of a resolution that would vacate two alleys in that area. The resolution was tabled, to be addressed no later than June 2000, when council should have in place a better way for dealing with alley vacations.
Many residents are in favor of the vacation, which the city initiated.
Bogner Construction does not want the alleys vacated. While Blake Moore may have been born to be a College of Wooster Fighting Scot, he could hardly say the same thing about his career in the National Football League. Much like the hundreds and hundreds of players that dot the Division III football landscape every year, playing at the next level was the furthest thing from Moore's mind when he enrolled at The College of Wooster in 1976. When you're playing at that level, though, you really don't ever think about the possibility of playing professionally. But, after a standout career on the hilltop, Moore beat the odds and went on to enjoy a 6-year NFL career as a member of the Cincinnati Bengals and Green Bay Packers.
