FIRE DEPARTMENT: (Chief Rich Peterson)

 

Fire Station/Dispatch Center Update: The updated construction schedule from R. P. Babik is attached.  There were some change orders for tonight but they were not prepared in time and will be presented for signatures at the next Trustees’ meeting.  The original completion date was December 2nd, 2005, but now it looks like it will be the end of January 2006.  Some discussion followed.

 

Keith Lasure reported Stark County Regional Planning Commission approved all conditions for the new fire station/dispatch center.

 

ROAD DEPARTMENT: (Superintendent Kevin Swartz)

 

Bids for Composting Program: Kevin reported Linda Morckel from Stark County Recycling called and said bids would be opened soon for next years’ composting/recycling program.  Mrs. Morckel suggested we write a letter pointing out any complaints we might have.  Kevin said the biggest problem is the trucks that haul the dumpsters always seem to be broken down.  Kurtz out of Cuyahoga Falls currently services the composing.  Russ Goffus said it would be nice to have a local hauler.  Some discussion followed.

 

Road Report: Russ Goffus motioned to approve the written Road Report for November 22nd, 2005, seconded by Todd Bosley.  Roll call vote went as follows:  Russ Goffus – Yes, Todd Bosley – Yes and Virginia Macdonald – Yes.  Motion carried.  (Copy attached)  Res#05-268

Keith announced the Nimishillen Township Zoning Resolution is now available on the Township website (www.nimishillentownship.com).  He also reported twenty-five (25) Zoning Resolutions were ordered because residents still come in to buy a book.  The Board approved the purchase of twenty-five (25) Zoning Resolutions and said anytime we run low to just go ahead and order them because they are not that expensive.

 

CONCERNS OF CITIZENS:

 

1)     Bill Blackmer of 3505 Maplegrove stepped to the podium and thanked the road crew for ditching on the south side of his residence and asked that the ditch across the street in front of Mr. Kiko’s property be cleaned so water could drain away from the road.  Mr. Blackmer said there have been several accidents in past years due to water freezing across the road.

 

Todd Bosley asked Mr. Blackmer what he thought should be done to solve the problem and Mr. Blacker said, “Clean the ditch out.”  After Kevin talks to Mr. Kiko to advise him what is going on, Todd said the ditch would be cleaned in a couple weeks.

 

Mr. Blackmer also questioned why the Trustees received 5,000 votes but the road levy only got 3,000 votes.  Todd Bosley explained that the voters voted for two (2) open seats for Trustees vs. one vote for the road levy – either for or against the Road Levy.
