It stays in Madison Townships possession, but it is available for our use when we need it. In 2024, there was a hydraulic failure and the repair bill will amount to $5,000 per each township. Doug will pay for the repairs and give us a bill for payment. Payment to be expected in June’s meeting. Township Roads Report – Bradd They have a lot of cleanup to do in ditches from water. Started on Chatham Road and part of Cat Run Road. A Resident on Cat Run Road notified us of an issue with a culvert. Bradd has been working with them to fix. Bradd has been spending a lot of time unplugging culverts. Riley Road needs a culvert repair and a local resident who lives there is willing to repair themselves which Bradd okayed.

Bradd supplied list of roads left to complete which was signed and initialed by Derrick Hardwick and Bradd Bruce. Trustee Jerry asked about Lafayette Road issues. He also had questions about Dry Creek. Lindsey voiced concerns about Chatham Road, washing out in front of Tom Schwartzenbergers.

Bradd noted that he is getting to all the roads as quick as he can. Larry shared his Zoning Report. Larry also shared that there is a car on Chatham Road North. Larry will work with the Trustees to do a Resolution that the car be removed. Lindsey provided minutes from the Zoning Board of Appeals meeting.

Jerry attended the training session for the Trustees regarding “Trustee Responsibilities.” For our current Public Records request, The County Records department will tell you what you need to keep. They will come out and help you work through the boxes if need be. ARPA reporting is in the works and Lindsey will let the group know when complete. The Dry Creek road project recommended in the Special Meeting has ceased. United Aggregates withdraws their bid. Jerry received an email from Brad Mercer, Licking County Planning, providing instructions regarding the process for removing the log jam. Jerry will continue to take the lead on this issue. We have not received a 2nd quote on the fencing from Ryan Grant. We need to receive a 2nd quote to make a decision. Trustee Dannette shared a bid from Custom Cutters. It is currently outside the realm of our budget so we will put this on hold for now. Trustee Jerry brought forth a rough estimate and presentation by Technical Roofing of St. Henry to re-roof the building. This may improve our ability to keep the building insulated.
