    NOTE: Galion Board of Education meetings typically contain not only proposed actions for Board consideration, but one or more reports on various issues relating either to the District as a whole or on individual schools or programs. Thursday’s meeting was no exception, and so we will be sharing updates from that meeting at various points over the next few days.

    Thursday’s meeting of the Galion Board of Education gave the Galion Booster Club an opportunity to share a general report on their operations and finances. Presenting an overview of Club activities were Rod Vose, Booster Club President, and Bryan Summer, Booster Club Treasurer.

    Landlords Pack Meeting

    The first meeting of the month for Galion City Council is typically longer than the second, as it includes reports from Council’s four committees in addition to the regular slate of proposed legislation. On Tuesday night, however, it was a piece of legislation which drove the session to last over an hour and a half – a first reading on a proposal to change the City’s utility billing policy.

    Before that matter came up for Council consideration, the following items were passed:

    • An ordinance agreeing to a one-year contract with the Galion Community Center YMCA for operation of the Heise Park pool. This proposal keeps rates the same as last year, and represents the fourth or fifth year of continued work with the Center-Y in operating the facility.

    We’ve Changed A Bit

    by  • April 4, 2011 • News & Views • 0 Comments

    Sometimes you need to buy brand-new. Other times, you just need a fresh coat of paint. The new GalionLive News lies somewhere in the middle of those two.

    For the most part, the site is simply re-arranged, re-oriented and updated with a new color scheme and layout. Our former site was always envisioned as a transition from our pre-WordPress days to something bigger and better. We have reduced the categories by one (combining “The Future of Galion” and “News & Views”), and added a link in the top menu for a submission form for news and event information from our readers.

    And, of course, there’s a new arrangement of space and a new color scheme.
