Cadbury Street NW- Bill Smith, Representative

 

Trustee Chessler stated that the law requires that the Board establish in the minutes certain things having been done.  The Board will begin by addressing the street lighting district that will be referred to as “Cadbury Street NW.”  The addresses included stretch from 1635-1798.  A petition was submitted to the Fiscal Officer on October 9, 2012 by Steven Voican of 1659 Cadbury Street NW.  Thirty (30) signatures were obtained and submitted.  The Board is being petitioned for eight (8) street lights.  Based on current usage rates the anticipated illumination cost is $1.33 per month or a semi-annual cost of $8.00 which will appear on tax bills issued in February and July of each year.  Trustee Chessler stated that this will begin in February 2014.  Mr. Hall stated that was correct.  Trustee Chessler stated that the Board of Trustees was duly notified by the Fiscal Officer of the petition filing.  The petition appears to be signed by owners of more than one half of the front feet of the lot and lands that abut the streets and public ways.  The district and petition has been complied with by the law and specified the leaps and bounds of the district that include no lands more than 660 feet or lands not abutting the street or public ways of the district.  Due notice and hearing is being conducted before the Board of Trustees and was duly and timely served on all lot owners and corporations affected by the proposed improvement.  The notice was duly and timely published as required by ORC Section 1504 and the term of due service and publication was made.  The Board received a copy of the petition that was signed and dated by the lot owners for this proposed lighting district.

 

In Favor:

Mr. Bill Smith stated that he is in favor of the proposed lighting district for Cadbury Street NW.

 

Opposed:

None.

 

Trustee Chessler asked Mr. Hall to explain the process that takes place after the hearing for the lighting district.  Mr. Hall stated that after the Board makes a resolution tonight, Mr. Schlegel will use the certification form to certify the street lights and information to the Stark County Auditor for assessment on future tax bills.  Trustee Chessler thanked Mr. Hall for providing the statutory guidelines.  This hearing was scheduled based on the receipt of a petition and the Board of Trustees of this Township have taken all lawful and proper proceedings to light artificially the streets, public ways and unincorporated districts. 

 

Trustee Chessler stated that the affirmative responses on Cadbury Street NW were eighty-two (82) percent.  Each Board member confirmed that they have traveled Cadbury Street NW in the affected area.  Trustee Chessler confirmed that the Board has met all statutory requirements.  Mr. Hall confirmed and suggested that the methodology of assessment be stated for the record.  Trustee Chessler stated that it is proposed that each home owner be assessed an equal amount.  Mr. Schlegel confirmed the method of calculation.  Trustee Chessler confirmed that this method is based on past practice.  Mr. Schlegel stated that was correct.  Trustee Chessler stated that the statute authorizes and allows the Fiscal Officer to collect a fee of $0.50 for each lot assessed but it is Mr. Schlegel’s position to waive or decline that fee.  Mr. Schlegel stated that is correct.  Trustee Laubacher inquired if an extra fee should be assessed for maintenance purposes.  Mr. Hall stated that should the poles need to be replaced or fixed due to natural deterioration the utility company would certify the cost of the repairs to Mr. Schlegel who would make the assessment to the County Auditor to be collected in the future.  Mr. Blythe inquired how the cost of the assessments was determined.  Trustee Laubacher stated that the Township received a cost sheet from Mr. Ray Martinez of the utility company. 

 

Trustee Chessler made a motion that the Board approve the creation of the street lighting district known as “1635-1789 Cadbury Street  NW Lighting District”; Seconded by Trustee Laubacher.

 

Mr. Schlegel asked Mr. Chessler to amend his motion to state that the lighting district is good for one (1) year and then it will be up for renewal just in case the cost goes up.

 

Trustee Chessler made an amendment to his motion to state that the lighting district is good for a one (1) year period; Seconded by Trustee Laubacher.

 

Trustee Chessler explained that the street lighting districts run in one (1) year terms because the cost figures are subject to change.  Mr. Schlegel stated that the Township use to allow five (5) year street lighting terms but it was discovered that within those five (5) years the cost went up and the Township’s General Fund ended up making up the difference.  The one (1) year term will allow the utility company to update the cost and the affected residents will be notified by letter.

Communications: 

Board of Trustees Received Notice on October 23, 2012 from ODOT Concerning Street Lighting

Trustee Chessler stated that in relation to the street lighting efforts the Township sent out letters to other governmental entities informing them of the Board’s position on maintaining the costs of the street lights that were not on Township roads.  One of those letters went to the Ohio Department of Transportation (ODOT).  The Board received a letter dated October 17, 2012 from ODOT District 4, David Sickert.  The letter indicated that District 4 will continue its policy of not paying for street lighting at isolated rural intersections but permitting local governments to establish and pay for lighting at these locations as allowed by Section 515 of the Ohio Revised Code (ORC).  Trustee Laubacher stated that there are a total of three (3) lights; two (2) by the railroad tracks on Faircrest and one (1) at the intersection of Shepler Church and SR 627.  Trustee Haines stated that he feels that the Board should proceed with having the lights turned off if the State is not going to pay for them.  Trustee Laubacher requested that the matter of street lighting be placed on the agenda for the Work Session so that the Board can discuss the final list of street lights that will be turned off.  Trustee Chessler stated that prior to the meeting he would like to review a final list so that he can look at each one individually.  The Board will reserve the right to take action at the Work Session.  Trustee Laubacher stated that he’ll try to prepare a packet for the Board by this weekend.   

Board of Trustees Received Quotes on November 5, 2012 from Don Jones Concerning Automobile Damage

Trustee Chessler stated that the Board received several documents regarding an incident that occurred at the Recycling Station that resulted in vehicle damage.  The Township is in the process of communicating with the automobile claimant.  The Township has received estimates and the matter has been referred to the proper insurance companies for evaluation as a claim.  Trustee Chessler stated that Mr. Hall’s legal opinion is that this matter is proprietary therefore the Township’s immunity may not apply.  The State requires that the owner of the damaged property submit the damage to their insurance company and the Township will be required to pay the deductible. 

Mr. Hall stated that as part of the internal investigation, Administrator Fetzer was contacted by gentleman who is a retired Marlboro County Sheriff’s Officer.  This gentleman gave Administrator Fetzer a brief summary.  Mr. Hall stated that he is going to get a hold of this gentleman to obtain a written statement.  Trustee Chessler stated that the Board acknowledges receipt of this documentation but will table this matter until further recommendation from the Law Director and insurance company is given.

Public Speaks-Open Forum:

Lyn McSheehy- 1126 Brook Ave. NW.  Ms. McSheehy inquired what the proposed project for Summerdale entailed.  Mr. Masalko indicated that the project would be to fix the drainage problems within the allotment. 

Ms. McSheehy addressed some concerns regarding the renaming of Brook Avenue to Marion.  Ms. McSheehy suggested that the name of Brook Avenue be changed to Brook Circle so that is doesn’t cause such an inconvenience to the residents affected.  Trustee Chessler explained that even though Ms. McSheehy’s suggestions make sense, the Board of Trustee’s have no authority in this matter.  This decision is to be made by the Stark County Commissioner’s.  Mr. Hall stated that the affected residents have been sent correspondence from the County Commissioner’s informing them of the hearing and that would be the proper time to bring these suggestions forward.

Ms. McSheehy addressed her concerns regarding fracking and suggested starting a bill of rights.  Ms. McSheehy inquired if there was anything that the Board of Trustees could do get something started to help prevent fracking in residential neighborhoods.  Trustee Chessler stated that this is something that the Board would address when there is a specific proposal in front of them.  Other communities have done this.  This is not a fine or criminal penalty.  It would be some amount of money that would be required to assure that if any damage is done to the roads then there would be an adequate fund to repair those damages.  Trustee Chessler explained that the Board does not currently have any proposals for any wells that use hydraulic fracturing.

Fred Anania- 4061 Knolls Ave. SW.  Mr. Anania stated that during the storms last week the power in the Station #2 area was out for approximately four (4) hours.  Station #2 is only equipped with some emergency lights that last for approximately one (1) hour.  Mr. Anania inquired if there are any thoughts or consideration about installing a generator at Station #2.  Chief Martin stated that there is a generator scheduled for installation in 2013.  .  Station #3 had a new generator installed last year because of the radio communications.   Station #2 did have the opportunity to use the generator on the fire truck to help power their building but they neglected to utilize that option and Chief Martin has to address that with them.  

Bard Huntsman- 4025 Prosway SW.  Mr. Huntsman addressed his concerns with the project on Genoa Ave. SW.  Mr. Masalko explained that Genoa Ave. SW has one lane opened up.  Mr. Huntsman addressed his wishes to have Station #2 manned starting at 6:30am (prior to the start of school).  Trustee Haines stated that after Mr. Huntsman brought this matter up previously he discussed it with Chief Martin.  The reason the time is set at 9:00am is because that is when the manpower was able to start because of other jobs, etc.  When the study was completed, 9:00am was the best time to be able to man Station #2.  It was difficult to man Station #2 prior to 9:00am.  Chief Martin stated that that system was developed by the staffing committee.  People work specific hours and there are a number of shifts that meet the accommodations of when people can work.  Mr. Huntsman stated that for some reason Station #2 is being neglected.  Just like with the situation with the generator at Station #3.  Trustee Laubacher explained that the Township put the generator at Station #3 for two (2) reasons:  Fire Department radio equipment and Police Department radio equipment.  If the power goes out, it is important that Station #3’s power is backed up so that they have the ability to use the radios.

Chief Martin stated that after Mr. Huntsman’s last request he looked into the matter and found that there was no increased traffic or accidents prior to the start of school that warranted an increase in man power hours at Station #2.  Right now, there are not enough funds to man the stations anymore than what they already are.  Mr. Huntsman suggested using money from the carry over or the savings from no longer using the house behind Station #1 on 14th Street to fund additional staffing at Station #2.

Timothy Blythe- 2956 Bridgton Street NW.  Mr. Blythe explained that if there is a surplus of money or a carry over it can’t just be spent on additional personnel.  All of the savings from the property on 14th Street SW (gas/electric/water) will not pay for one week of staffing in those extra few hours.  Mr. Huntsman stated that the Fire Department had the largest carry over last year than ever before.  Mr. Blythe stated that there is nothing wrong with having money in the bank.

Mr. Anania inquired if the generator on the fire truck had the ability to be plugged in so that the powered doors could be operated.  Chief Martin stated that Maintenance Supervisor Gary Swisher indicated that the generator off of the fire truck could have been used to bring power to Station #2.  Chief Martin stated that the doors were operable regardless because they have emergency releases that allow the doors to go up and down without power. 

Karl Oprisch- 3132 Crescentview Drive SW.  Mr. Oprisch thanked the Board for the recent improvements to Lynch Park.
