Village of Briarcliff Village Council Regular Meeting Minutes September 10, 2025

Mayor Hostetler called the meeting to order at 7:02 p.m.

Present: Mayor Hostetler, Alderman Johnston, Aldrich and Richmond. Absent: Alderman Elliott and Alderman Charlesworth.

Citizen’s communications: Resident asked if we post for meetings and the mayor responded that we do on our website and on the board outside the city office. Resident believes that we should try and post on the board by the street like the BPOA does for their meetings and maybe that would bring more residents to the city meetings. It was explained that we have tried that in the past and it made no difference. A resident voiced their concern regarding more speeding around the neighborhood and asked if we have our contract with the constables yet. It was explained that we did have our contract with the constable’s office.
