Contract Agreement with the City of Galion
After correspondence between Thomas and the auditor's office, Thomas offered to find out the statutory authority of a formal agreement and said that no one has been able to cite where it says an agreement is needed, nor could anyone identify existing examples of where that happens. Jason requested for Thomas look into this further as he requested, and Thomas emailed back and said that he will do that since Jason requested it. After that is complete, Jason is expecting to meet with the City of Galion auditor's office to work on agreement terms.
