Sheriff Lyons was at the meeting. He thanked the township for the use of our building for their sub station. Sheriff Lyons also brought up the concern of there not officially being any legislation setting the reduced speed limit on Maple Ave. for a school zone. The trustees need to contact the county to see what we need to do.

Dave Bodi was at the meeting. He mentioned the lock box for the elderly that can be put on their doors in case of emergency.

Tom Johnson mentioned that we are working on several high grass issues. He said there is a 10 day period after we contact them before we can do anything.

Tom mentioned that he heard that someone was going to purchase the house at 301 Crystal Rock Rd. It doesn’t look like anything is going on there right now. The trustees said to send the holding company a letter saying what we’re going to do. There are also issues with property on Norwood and Bellevue. We need to check into all three of these.

Mr. Johnson mentioned that the zoning board would like to have a trustee and the zoning inspector at their next meeting regarding the new zoning book.

Recycle Day – May 31, 2008 from 9-1

Randy Day contacted the Trustees about Cold Creek. ODOT does not have to put up the detour signs. The village can do it, but they would like some help from us. They do not have enough signs.

Fiscal Officer, Mary Ann Lindsley said that our open enrollment for the products with AFLAC should be in June. She will contact them to see about getting some materials.

Mr. Bias moved, seconded by Mr. Pooch to adjourn. Vote: all ayes
