1. Jaso Pelz, 4817 Delematre Road, 12 X 24 accessory building
2. Julie Chill. 5019 Strecker Road, above ground pool

Mr. David reported that he had talked with Chris Gastier about the conditions of the lawn at his property on Portland Road. Mr. Gastier said he had mowed it several weeks earlier and his mower had broken down. He said he hadn’t gotten back to finish the lawn, and being that he was going to be out of town for a couple days, it would be the next week before it would be mowed. Mr. David said he just ask him to get it mowed as soon as possible.

Road Superintendent:

Mr. Kelley reported that Kerry Jett, Fire Chief for Groton Township had ask that the light switch in the fire bays be changed so that one switch turned all the lights on. After some discussion, Mr. Kelley said he would call Firelands Electric about changing the light switch around.

Mr. Kelley said after reviewing the three roads that the Nexus pipeline traffic crossed, he thought that they should be ground where the traffic crossed and on both berms and the asphalt replaced with new asphalt. After some discussion, Mr. Kelley said he would contact the County and see if they were in agreement.

Trustees:

Mr. Leber said that the painter who had worked at painting the outside of the complex building was no longer in the painting business

Mr. Parker said he didn’t have anything at this time.

Mr. Stewart reviewed the electric aggregation that the County was in discussion with, he said their current rate was .0456 per kilowatt hour which he thought was a good rate.

Fiscal Officer: 

Mr. David reported that he had talked with Sue Brown, Assistant County Prosecutor about the Kimball property and the parcel that had been sold to Fred Moffitt. He said according to the Ohio Revised Code a formal resolution declaring the property or parcel no longer of use to the Township had to be passed and not just the motion to sell that was done by the board. Mr. David said he was meeting with Sue Brown this next week and she was going to give him the formal resolutions and other papers to complete this sale. Mr. David said as you know there are three separate parcels owned by the Township in Kimball, one of the problems getting the parcel split off that was being sold to Fred Moffitt, was Dave Williams, the surveyor, had combined all the parcels together under one description, which was incorrect. When the Auditors office tried to split the Moffitt parcel off they didn’t know which parcel it was coming off. He said hopefully they will get it straightened out so we can complete the sale and get Mr. Moffitt his deed. 

There was discussion about why the Kimball parcels should, or should not be combined together, Mr. Parker moved to combine all parcels owed by the Township under one parcel number, Mr. Leber seconded the motion. Roll was called, with all present voting yes; motion carried.
