Special Council Meeting & Workshop – May 28, 2026

Key Highlights from the May 28, 2026 Pleasant Hill Village Council Meeting

• Pleasant Hill village council approved an agreement for a new mural featuring a historic traction car near the Knaff building.
• The mural must be completed by the end of June so Pleasant Hill can remain eligible for grant funding from the Ohio Rock Arts Council.
• The village council approved the purchase of installed audio-visual and security equipment at the recently purchased building for $7,200.
• Pleasant Hill will purchase 96 folding chairs for $1,900 to support meetings, programs, and community events at the new building.
• The council requested county inspection and approval of the replacement electrical boxes before the building work is considered complete.
• Wood-boring insect concerns identified during the property inspection will be addressed after the property transfer.
• The village council is considering a community open house so Pleasant Hill residents can see the new building before or during renovations.
• Plans for the building include public-facing space on the first floor and potentially placing the main village offices on the second floor for added security.
• Council is considering ADA improvements, including push-button door openers, to make the building easier for residents and visitors to use.
• Pleasant Hill is exploring rental policies for the new community space, including priority levels and deposits for local organizations and community members.
• The village council agreed to continue mowing three right-of-way areas on private farm property along State Route 718 near the cemetery.
• A future workshop may be held at the new building so council members can review the space and make layout and renovation decisions on site.
