Guests

Roger Hunker, Development Associate for Apex Clean Energy, was present at the meeting to give an update on the progress of the pending Ohio Siting Board hearings for the proposed Emerson Creek Wind Farm. Mr. Hunker reported that the hearings for the wind farm are currently scheduled for some time in March or early April. He reported that currently hearings are scheduled for the proposed transmission line that would tie the wind farm into the electrical grid, pending their approval.

After some discussion the Trustees thanked Mr. Hunker for coming to the meeting.

Zoning Report:

Mr. David reported that he had issued no permits since the last meeting. Mr. David said he was going to send some letters out to residents about the buildup of junk or inoperable cars that are sitting in peoples’ yards. He said with the winter weather it’s hard for people to move these cars, but this will just be a reminder that the Oxford Township Zoning Resolution states that after 10 days, any inoperable vehicle must be house in a garage or barn out of sight. He said hopefully later this spring when things have dried up, people will either move or get rid of the vehicles in question.

Road Superintendent

Mr. Kelley reported that with help from Margretta’s garage he had installed a backup camera and dash cam in the new Ford 550 truck, he said when they are crack sealing it really helps to see what is going on close-up behind the truck. He said they also installed new radios, provided by Sheriff Sigsworth, in the Ford F-550 and the new Freightliner plow truck. He said the radios will link them up with the Sheriff’s Department, keeping the driver abreast of road conditions or emergency situations.

Mr. Kelley reported that he had received notice from Henderson Truck that the new 9-inch cross auger and salt spreader that was order with the new truck was in.
