With spring almost here, it’s time to clean up, says Sabina mayor
Hect
SABINA The village mayor stated he’s asked the police department “to crack down” on nuisance violations such as non-running vehicles in yards and an over-abundance of trash and junk on properties.
“We need to be able to attract people and businesses. We won’t do that with lawns littered with bicycle parts and junk vehicles,” according to Mayor James L. Mongold’s Thursday report to village council.
Mongold added there are times when residents will have problems keeping yards free of junk due to their physical health, and he is OK with working with those people for a solution, and in fact encourages that.
Sabina to pursue Legacy Fund grant dollars

SABINA They are so intent on being considered for the second cycle of Clinton County Legacy Fund grants that the village’s elected officials have created a special council committee to improve their chances.
At the latest meeting of the Employee Relations & Health/Safety Committee which is a standing committee the continuing problems with sewer laterals in Sabina were brought up and Councilman Abe Arnold mentioned the Legacy grant as a possible way to secure funds.
And at the most recent meeting of the Recreation and Tourism Committee, the discussion included project ideas for Legacy Fund grants. Those projects consisted of a Community Gardens near the municipal swimming pool which could help induce kids to eat fresh fruit and vegetables; a Farmers Market at the Uhl’s parking lot where dumpsters for drop-off recycling are going to be moved from; and, again, sewer laterals.
