HARRISON TOWNSHIP TRUSTEE MEETING

April 3, 2018

REGULAR MEETING CALL TO ORDER:

Chairman Joe DeFelice called the Regular Trustee Meeting of April 3, 2018 to order with the Pledge of Allegiance at 7:00pm at the Harrison Township Building, 2746 Weigand Road, Lockbourne, Ohio.  Attending were Trustee Joe DeFelice, Trustee Mike Freeman, Trustee Bill Welsh, Fiscal Officer MaryAnn Elliott, Fire Chief Eric Edgington, Zoning Inspector Dale Hoover, Road/Cemetery Superintendent Kevin Hulse and Substitute Road/Cemetery Superintendent Darryl Ward.  Fire Captain Pat Davidson and Resident Elmer Hines were also present.

HEARING OF VISITORS: 

      1. Elmer Hines is having water problems caused by the new pond area at the horse training facility on Miller Road.  His property is not draining due to the water being pushed onto his property.  Mr. DeFelice explained that the Trustees have no authority over the horse training facility, but they are not permitted to alter the direction of the flow of water.  Dale Hoover will take a look at the property and if they have changed the direction of the flow of water, we can address that issue.

ZONING INSPECTOR: 

      1. Dale has issued two permits. 

ROAD/CEMETERY SUPERINTENDENT:

      1. The F550 has been repaired.
      2. Darryl asked to purchase some safety equipment.  New hard hats, safety glasses and gloves are needed.  The Trustees asked Kevin and Darryl to get these new safety items immediately and be sure that all employees are using safety equipment at all worksites.
      3. The Trimble gravestone was placed in 2004 without a proper foundation.  Dr. Freeman will contact the person who poured this foundation and ask him to pour a new foundation to frost depth or send us $300.00 to have a proper foundation poured.
      4. Kevin asked about purchasing a third riding mower to be used primarily on the roads.  He presented two bids.  The Trustees asked the Fiscal Officer to report on money available for this mower and tabled the decision until that time.
      5. The Trustees asked Kevin to present a signed statement for each doctor’s visit he is going to during work hours and charging as sick time.
      6. The pipe under Hoover Road needs to be replaced.  Mr. DeFelice asked Kevin to get bids from Sam’s Excavating, Digger McCray and Ryan Sark. 
      7. Pickaway County Engineers are no longer selling cold mix and they will only sell straight salt, no grits.
      8. Darryl will write a description for the 2003 Chevy truck and the International Snow Plow so they can be listed for sale.
      9. The Trustees approved the purchase of two loads of re-ground asphalt to fix the road in the cemetery to the garages.
