Mayor Goals for 2022
My personal goals for the position I hold as Mayor are to continue to learn, to serve, and to listen to the constituents of the Village of Amanda. Likewise, I will hold each public servant accountable to the position to which they were elected and sworn, by oath, to serve both the village and the state of Ohio.
Included in a proposed Village ordinance guidelines are clearly outlines that resolve, in a timely manner, that both the mayor and each council member are to complete training and be fully compliant. As a governing body it should be our common goal to conduct and facilitate all official business in an atmosphere of appropriate conduct and respect.
Achieving a 5-star rating from the auditor of the state of Ohio has been a personal goal since my election. This goal will only be reached through the cooperation and dedication of every council member and myself as we serve our citizenry.
Another important goal is to increase the seeking of Grants to fund improvements within our village. I am researching Grants from the Funding Sources and Programs through the Bureau of Justice Assistance. I am also researching funding and programs throughAcademic Institution Grants, Community Recycling and Litter prevention Grants, and Grants and training through the Department of Homeland Security.
The efforts with regard to the Property Maintenance during my administration have been monumental. Still, refinement and momentum will continue through the next half of my term.
Although not required by State I, Mayor Fisher, will obtain certifications from EPA for spraying and weed control. This allows further savings of our limited taxpayers dollars for our Village.
Also on my agenda for the calendar year 2022 are a few other goals with regard to the community events, to the Neighborhood Watch Program, and animal control.
I am asking each member of council to carefully consider and submit their own goals and plans for their term, most specifically for the year 2022 and to submit them in writing by the next regular meeting; February 7th 2022. By doing this we can continue to build a council and administrative team for the betterment of the village of Amanda, which should be our main and common goal.
Working together we can make 2022 a positive experience for all who live in Amanda, making a good Community even better.

The village mayor, council, and employees has honored the late Jay Hunter with planting an Eastern Redbud Tree and placing a plaque in his memory, at the park. On June 28, 2021 the village employees along with many of Jay's family came together to place the plaque. Fiscal Officer Ayers dedicated the tree and plaque with a short presentation.
It wasnt long before Jay's tree benifited all that use the park. By way of a small bird lounging on his tree. May his spirit watch over us all.
