New Boston Village Councilman Mike Payton has been elected president of the board of trustees for the Ohio Municipal League after having served on that board for eight years. \"Vicki-Mike-OhioLeague\" \u201cOver the past eight years I have had the opportunity to represent New Boston with various village and municipal officials throughout the state and work with them to develop legislation best suited for our needs as a whole,\u201d Payton said.

\u201cWe meet with state legislators, state senators and the Governor as well as lobbyists.\u201d The Ohio Municipal league was incorporated as an Ohio non-profit corporation in 1952 by city and village officials who saw the need for a statewide association to serve the interests of Ohio municipal government. The board of trustees is the policy making body and appoints an executive director to manage the league under general direction. The trustees must include one mayor of a city or village, a city manager, a fiscal officer or finance director, a solicitor or law director, and councilpersons. \u201cThey have always sent us up there (Columbus) for training. If you\u2019re a new councilman, they sponsor the training that we go to once you get on Council,\u201d Payton said. Adidas NMD Dames<\/a> \u201cThey have ethics training and then they do the mayor\u2019s court training as well as a lot with the solicitors and the legal end of it. That\u2019s why I initially got involved with them. Nike Air Max 2017 Men<\/a><\/li>\n

We work with the statehouse and the legislature. EQUIPMENT 10 M<\/a> It\u2019s been fun.\u201d Payton said any city or village, by proper action of its legislative body and payment of the annual membership fee may become a member. When a Ohio municipality becomes an active League member, all of the elected and key appointed officials are eligible to use the available services. Several of the villages in Scioto County along with Portsmouth and New Boston are members. new balance grigie bambino<\/a> \u201cWe all have a lot of common issues, so it makes it good to be one voice,\u201d Payton said. \u201cWe kind of revamped it this year.

That\u2019s why he has made his agenda focusing on smaller municipalities. \u201cNew Boston is one of the smaller villages,\u201d Payton said.
