Welcome to the Village of Ashley
Special Announcement Regarding the Village Police Department
Dear village residents,
Effective Friday, April 10, 2026 Police Chief Scott Santos has resigned his position with the village due to family obligations. Myself and Village Council thank the Chief for his years of service and wish him well. Council discussed his pending resignation in our meeting last Tuesday and decided to suspend the operations of the police department at this time until further discussion and planning can occur.
I have spoken with Delaware County Sheriff Jeff Balzer and his office and Deputies will continue to protect and serve the village. As always, dial 911 if you need emergency services.
Respectfully,
David Lockhart
Mayor

Next steps for Village Utility Aggregation in case there are questions:
There is a multi step process defined by the PUCO (Public Utilities Commission of Ohio) the village is required to follow:
1) Voter approval - Passed in the November 2024 General Election **COMPLETE**
2) Signed agreement between village and Trebel, Council had some questions re: the agreement language at December’s meeting, expect approval in January Council meeting **COMPLETE **
3) Submit agreement to PUCO for their approval and permit # **COMPLETE**
4) Request electric and gas utility consumption for village in total from Columbia Gas & Ohio Edison **IN PROCESS**
5) Request bids from gas and electric suppliers for village aggregate usage and contract with selected bidder
6) Notify residents of aggregation utility costs - residents choose to remain with aggregation supplier or opt-out of program at that point.
You will receive more info via mail, village website, etc. as this process approaches completion. I expect these steps will be complete by April if not before. In the meantime, happy to address any questions / concerns anyone has.

Planning continues for the upgrade. Long lead times for the new filter system and culvert are impacting our start date for the project.
