Harlem Township Trustees hold regular monthly meeting

The fol­low­ing Harlem Town­ship Board of Trustees meet­ing report was culled from approved min­utes sub­mit­ted by Harlem Town­ship Fis­cal Offi­cer Bobby Fracasso.

On Wednes­day, August 18, mem­bers of the Harlem Town­ship Board of Trustees met in reg­u­lar ses­sion at the Harlem Town­ship Hall and Fire­house, with trustees Jerry Paul, Bob Singer and Dave Jack­son present.

Mem­bers of the pub­lic present for the ses­sion were Harlem Zon­ing Inspec­tor Dave Andrian, Harlem Divi­sion of Fire Chief Dale Fling, Harlem Main­te­nance and Roads Super­vi­sor Bart Walker, Repub­li­can can­di­date for Delaware County Com­mis­sioner Gary Mer­rill, Rob Book­man and Louise Guenther.

Mer­rill was in cham­bers to intro­duce him­self and spoke briefly about his can­di­dacy on the Novem­ber ballot.

It was reported that Fancher and Maple Grove Ceme­tery data is com­plete; and Tat­tle Tale Secu­rity is in place at the Town­ship Main­te­nance Building.

Walker reported that the sum­mer dust con­trol project is com­plete and 5,265 gal­lons of liq­uid asphalt was used at $1.75 per gal­lon, for a total cost of $9,213.75. Walker also said that Delaware County would help off­set the cost of reflec­tiv­ity signs; Walker is get­ting prices from two companies.

Chief Fling reported Divi­sion of Fire runs to date as of August 15: Fire 162, EMS 179: Total 341. Fling also said that the fire depart­ment would try to meet the dead­line for EMS Fire Study State Inno­va­tion Grant.

Andrian said Delaware County received a $500,000 Mov­ing Ohio For­ward Grant from the Ohio Attor­ney General’s Office to demol­ish vacant, aban­doned and blighted homes. Harlem Town­ship cur­rently has 11 unoc­cu­pied struc­tures. The trustees asked Andrian to pri­or­i­tize the struc­tures, so they can be acted upon.

The trustees agreed to pro­ceed with a 2013 Ohio Pub­lic Works Com­mis­sion Grant request for paving the 2.597-mile Green Cook Road.

The trustees also noted that par­ties con­cerned about Harlem Road gun noise con­trol should work it out among them­selves; that the town­ship has no author­ity to reg­u­late gun noise based on a response to a request for advice from the Ohio Town­ship Association.

Harlem Town­ship Trustees meet in reg­u­lar ses­sion on the third Wednes­day of every month at Harlem Town­ship Hall, 3883 Ohio 605, imme­di­ately south of Cen­ter Vil­lage Road.
