Wellsville Village Council Special Meeting

Wednesday - April 14: A special meeting was held Wednesday afternoon at Village Hall by the Wellsville Village Council. Present at the meeting was Mayor Joe Surace, Fiscal Officer Dale Davis, Council Members Susan Haugh, John McMahon, Joe Soldano, Randy Allmon & Tony Cataldo. Also present was Village Administrator Jim Saracco, Zoning Administrator Rick Williams and WPD Lt. Ed Wilson. The meeting was called to cover three items but two of those were deferred to a later date.

The one item that was dealt with was the application for a C1 LIquor License by the owners of For Your Convenience mini-market located at 300 17th Street, next door to Garfield School. The market is owned by Laddie & Griffen Wallick who listed a New Philly address according to newspaper accounts. In the same article it noted that Laddie Wallick is a registered sex offender with the State Attorney General. His address is listed as being in Dover, OH, on the State AG's web site.

A motion by Councilman Allmon to object to the license and request a hearing on the application was seconded by Councilman McMahon. With Councilman Cataldo abstaining the motion passed by a 4 - 0 vote. Cataldo holds a liquor license for Tony's Bar on 3rd Street. He indicated last week he always abstains from voting on liquor license issues to avoid any conflict of interest accusations.

A Sewer Committee meeting is scheduled for Monday, April 19 at 11 A.M. at Village Hall. Council meets in regular session Wednesday evening, April 21, at 6 P.M. That was moved to a day later to avoid a schedule conflict.

Does anyone know if Council has made any progress on updating laws concerning landlords ? After the arrest of the suspected murderer at 221 Waldon Ave. last week. I think its time for some action by Council. We need to hold landlords responsible for who they rent to keep this criminal element out of Wellsville.
