Meeting Minutes

 

The Margaretta Township Trustees met in regular session on August 20, 2009 at 7 p.m. Present were Mr. Bias, Mr. Pooch and Mr. Riesterer.

Mr. Riesterer moved, seconded by Mr. Pooch to approve the minutes from the August 13, 2009 meeting. Vote: all ayes.

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

Mr. Riesterer moved, seconded by Mr. Pooch to approve and sign warrants # 8956-8969 that were presented for payment by the Fiscal Officer. Vote: all ayes.

Mr. Schueger from Wilson Ave. was at the meeting. He is still concerned with the TiKi Bar and the noise level. He is concerned with what will happen next year. Mr. Pooch said we have no zoning restrictions. Mr. Schueger wants some restrictions on the noise and the number of weeks they can run in the summer. The permits come from the state and the Sheriff signs off.

Mr. Wm Lowery from Wilson Ave. was at the meeting. He said he was told that someone had brought pictures of his property to a township meeting a few weeks ago and he wanted to know if there was some problem. Mr. Lowery owns 902 & 921 Wilson Ave. He said he has a trailer on his property, but it is licensed and has a flat tire. It was explained that Mr. Morgan had brought in a list and pictures with concerns. The trustees were not sure if Mr. Lowery’s property was on the list. When Zoning Inspector Tom Johnson arrived at the meeting he said that anyone who may have had an issue would have received a letter. Therefore if Mr. Lowery did not receive a letter there was no problem with his property.

Mr. Riesterer mentioned that he had talked to Huron regarding dispatch. They plan on having the Sheriff Department dispatch for them at night starting some time after Labor Day. This would also mean that our dispatch would go through the Sheriff Department. They are addressing our 684-5111 phone number. Chief Keimer has discussed this issue with Huron. Huron’s City Manager will come here to explain the situation before it happens.

Mr. Riesterer gave a report on the Economic Development meeting. They toured NASA and heard about the plans for a runway. Tim explained things going on at NASA.

Mr. Pooch met with Jeff at Quarry Lakes. Ohio Edison will be putting in transformers. There are plans to put up an 80 ft sign.

We need to replace a catch basin in Crystal Rock.

A new plastic driveway culvert was put in on SR 101. We’re not sure who did it, but Mr. Pooch thinks we’ll have a problem down the road.

It was mentioned that Mr. Stierhoff is upset about a camper that is parked at the end of Rockwood Dr. Jim suggests vacating that section of land.

Mr. Bias gave a record retention update from the last meeting.

Mr. Bias said the new building at the Parks was just started.

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

The meeting adjourned at 8:40 p.m.
