During Public Comment session, David Gano addressed the Council with his concern for the speed limit on County Line Road.  Trustee Iott offered to contact the Summerfield Township Supervisor as the road is in Monroe County and the Village of Deerfield has no jurisdiction.

He also expressed his desire to be excluded from the water system and have a well for drinking water.  Agreements had been signed before construction of the house to use the Village services for water and sewer.  The Village had responded to his request in March, 2008 and stated that we did not have a formula in place for sewer usage only.  Matter will be reviewed by Trustee Iott.
