Meeting Minutes

 

The Margaretta Township Trustees met in regular session on June 17, 2010. Present were Mr. Bias, Mr. Riesterer and Mr. Pooch.

Mr. Bias moved, seconded by Mr. Riesterer to approve the minutes, as presented by the Fiscal Officer, for the June 3, 2010 meeting. Vote: all ayes.

Mr. Riesterer moved, seconded by Mr. Bias to accept the financial reports that were presented by Fiscal Officer Mary Ann Lindsley. Vote: all ayes.

Mr. Bias moved, seconded by Mr. Riesterer to approve and sign warrants 9772-9803, that were presented for payment by the Fiscal Officer. Vote: all ayes.

Mr. Kevin Lindsley was at the meeting to go over our health insurance renewal. Mr. Lindsley showed the Trustees what our savings have been for the last 3 years (the time we have had an HRA). Kevin said that our renewal with MMO is at an 11.24% increase. Originally our increase was going to be over 13% and Kevin asked them to look at it. They lowered it to the 11.24%. He received several quotes from different companies and they were all higher than MMO.

Mr. Bias moved, seconded by Mr. Riesterer to renew our present health insurance through Medical Mutual of Ohio. Vote: all ayes.

Chief Keimer gave his report. He mentioned that the City of Huron wants their money for this year’s contract. The Trustees asked if we had been billed. Tom said he had the bill and would submit it for payment. Tom gave an update on the properties in Crystal Rock. The Hensley’s have received their notifications, but he has not been able to get a hold of Mr. Scheufler. A letter went to Mr. Ring for junk. Letters that were sent to Maple Ave came back.

Mr. Tom Johnson gave a zoning report. He mentioned that the Kromer issues on Bogart Road are being worked on, but that he has had no response from the Cody property. He will therefore be sending a citation. Tom also mentioned that he is working on some other properties.

We had a copy of the GIS contract. After reviewing it the following motion was made:

Mr. Riesterer moved, seconded by Mr. Bias to approve the Erie County GIS Cost Share Agreement at a cost of $2226.43/year. The contract is for 5 years beginning in 2010. Vote: all ayes.

Mr. Jim Neill gave his Road Report. We collected 36.5 tons of tires on our recycling day. Ed Burdue is to start the Homegardner project on June 21, 2010. There was a discussion on replacing our 1998 truck.

Mr. Keith Kreager of Crystal Rock was at the meeting. He mentioned that the stop sign was stolen from Sandusky and Maple Ave. Keith also mentioned that when he came to pick up the batteries on our recycle day they were already all gone. Pete Schade or Bob England from the Health Department plans to meet with the Crystal Rock residents on June 26, 2010 at 2 p.m. to discuss sanitary issues in Crystal Rock.

The trustees discussed possibly upcoming levy issues. We will check into putting renewal levies on in November for a l mill Fire and a ½ mill Road levy. The trustees will hold a public hearing for our proposed budget for 2011 at 7 p.m. on July 1, 2010.
