Meeting Minutes

 

The Margaretta Township Trustees met in regular session on December 3, 2009. Present were Mr. Riesterer, Mr. Pooch and Mr. Bias.

Mr. Riesterer moved, seconded by Mr. Pooch to approve the minutes from the November 19, 2009 meeting as presented by Fiscal Officer, Mary Ann Lindsley. Vote: all ayes.

Mr. Pooch moved, seconded by Mr. Riesterer to accept the financial reports. Vote: all ayes.

Mr. Riesterer moved, seconded by Mr. Pooch to approve and sign warrants 9219-9263 that were presented by the Fiscal Officer for payment. Vote: all ayes.

Keith Kreager from Crystal Rock mentioned that at the Crystal Rock Landowners Association meeting they discussed putting up a pole barn on property they owned on Maple Ave. He wanted to know what to do since they would only be putting up a building and not building a house. The trustees told Mr. Kreager that he would need to go through zoning.

Mr. Riesterer mentioned that at the Council of Governments it was mentioned that next year would be a census and stressed the need for everyone to fill out forms and return them after they receive them. Mr. Riesterer also mentioned that there is money for lead abatement in homes. Anyone can get in contact with Erie Regional Planning or the Health Department.

Ken Hoy from Homegardenr Rd was at the meeting to thank the trustees and Jim Neill and his crew for fixing the drainage problem they were having.

Tom Johnson asked if the trustee had looked over his proposed zoning fees. The trustees said they haven’t had time to go over his proposal.

There will be an appeals hearing on December 7, 2009 regarding the placement of a wind turbine for Margaretta Local Schools at Bogart Elementary School.

There are zoning issues at several properties in the township that we need to address.

Chief Keimer gave his report.

Mr. Pooch moved, seconded by Mr. Riesterer to grant Mike Jesberer his vacation request for December 27, 29, & 31, pending his obtaining coverage. Vote: all ayes.

Jim Neill gave his Road/Cemetery report. It was mentioned again that our recycling center will close at the end of the year. The trustees said the cost to keep it open would be too great for us to take on.
