The meeting had the annual reorganization of leadership positions on the Preble County Commission. David Wesler was elected President and Chris Day became Vice President for 2011 session. Both thanked Bob Stonecash for doing a great job in 2010 as President. Commissioner Wesler left the meeting shortly after being elected to go to Columbus, Ohio.

The Landfill meeting had John Jones reporting that the county had just shy of 4.4 million gallons of leachate hauled to Cincinnati in 2010; the total was down slightly from 2009. There was also an Executive Session held with over “Pending Litigation”.  The Preble County Commissioners were sued in Federal District Court on December 29, 2010 and I would guess that this executive session was over that issue. Present in addition to the Commissioners and Connie Crowell for that session were Steve Simmons, John Jones, Kyle Cross, Katie Worthington, Eric Marit and Marty Votel. This is a serious matter and there is a lot of coverage on the Preble County Leachate Scandal to be found on this website.
