Conneaut Lake Borough Council's first meeting of the new year took on a rather tense feel when a passionate debate took place concerning a spruce-up plan for Fireman's Beach.
The Community Development Committee, (CDC), had approached Council in December in order to ascertain if there might be an interest in applying for some grants to carry out some improvements at the beach.
As was reported after the December meeting, the whole thing began in 2008 when members of CDC presented a beach plan to Council that did not meet their criteria.
In the eleventh hour, a vote was taken on the proposal and the results were 4 to 3, with the no votes winning.

The Conneaut School District is looking to hire an architect to assist in plans whenever the district attempts to complete various projects as state laws under building code requirements demand various drawings, cost estimates, and more.
A first project, when the architect is appointed, is a requirement that football bleachers be brought up to the latest codes.
As reported in these pages some months ago, the bleachers at the three football fields in the district - Conneaut Lake, Conneaut Valley, and Linesville - do not meet current codes for safety regulations and handicap rules.

By 8-0 vote, the Conneaut School Board decided to return to an 8-period day beginning with the fall 2011 school term for its high school students at Conneaut Lake, Conneaut Valley and Linesville High Schools.
Discussions were held at board meetings in October and November with a final vote set for December meetings that were cancelled due to weather.
The vote came at the board's January 12 meeting with board members Dr. Carol Bocan, Dr. Walter Thomas, Jody Sperry, Don Ellis Jr., Gina McCauley, Rick Kelly, Cheryl Krachkowski, and David Schaef present and voting. Lorri Drumm was absent.
Schaef said he voted with some reluctance on the item being recommended by the school administration and doing away with the block schedule which featured longer periods during the day and having the class for one half of the year.
