Sometimes, being on a city government board can be frustrating and thankless. Ottawa Area Chamber of Commerce Director, Ryland Miller, came before the Franklin County Commission Wednesday, August 20th. He had requested and was granted over $1,500 from the county to go toward the fireworks show this fourth of July. Money from the Transient Guest Tax was used. He thanked the commission and after his presentation, County Administrator, Derek Brown:
Miller told commissioners that next year, they plan on having an extra big fireworks display as the United States celebrates 250 years as a Nation, and he will ask for a donation closer to the event.
