Harlem Twp. Trustees’ meeting covers variety of topics

The fol­low­ing report is culled from approved min­utes of the Wednes­day, Jan­u­ary 23, Harlem Town­ship Board of Trustees meet­ing sub­mit­ted by Harlem Fis­cal Offi­cer Bobby Fracasso.

Mem­bers of the Harlem Town­ship Board of Trustees met in reg­u­lar ses­sion on Wednes­day, Jan­u­ary 23, at the Harlem Town­ship Hall and Fire­house with trustees Jerry Paul, Bob Singer and Dave Jack­son present. Also in cham­bers for the ses­sion were Harlem Divi­sion of Fire Chief Dale Fling, Harlem Zon­ing Inspec­tor David Andrian, Vicki Tieche, Louise Guen­ther, Belinda Mortensen and Alan Czeko.

Guen­ther asked the trustees if there was any con­tact from the Delaware County Pros­e­cu­tors Office; Singer said he has heard from Mark Fowler and he was putting some­thing together for the trustees.

Mortensen thanked the trustees for snow removal on her road. Jerry Paul said he would pass the com­pli­ment on to the main­te­nance department.

Tieche told the trustees that she has vol­un­teers that will help with removal of items at the ceme­ter­ies in the spring and talked about a per­ma­nent shel­ter house at the town­ship park. Tieche said the Her­itage Com­mit­tee would be will­ing to help share the cost of the shelter.

Paul reported that Harlem Main­te­nance & Roads Super­vi­sor Bart Walker had 81 tons of salt ordered and deliv­ered; that two addi­tional recy­cle bins were deliv­ered for a total of seven; trees were trimmed on Bevel­heimer, Gor­such and Adams roads; and the spreader motor on the salt spreader was replaced.

Chief Fling reported Divi­sion of Fire runs to date through Jan­u­ary 23: Fire 7, EMS 20, total 27. Fling also noted 2012 Divi­sion of Fire runs: Fire 233, EMS 321, total 554.

Fling also pre­sented sev­eral fire and town­ship per­son­nel reports to mem­bers of the board: full time pay scale for fire per­son­nel; part time pay scale for fire per­son­nel; total insur­ance costs for all employ­ees health care; Harlem Town­ship 2012 employee cost; Divi­sion of Fire inven­tory; total 2012 build­ing per­mits; 2012 pop­u­la­tion esti­mates; and total town­ship payroll.

Andrian said he sent a let­ter to David Slates stat­ing that his 5180 Harlem Road prop­erty is in vio­la­tion of the Harlem Town­ship Zon­ing Ordinance.

Andrian said the nature of this vio­la­tion is as follows:

Pro­hib­ited uses, and out­door stor­age or unli­censed motor vehi­cle for a period exceed­ing 14 days. Andrian said any unli­censed or non-operating vehi­cle if stored on the premises should be enclosed within a build­ing so it’s not vis­i­ble from any adjourn­ing prop­erty or pub­lic road.

Andrian said the car in ques­tion is vis­i­ble from the road­way and was appar­ently used for tar­get prac­tice; and that he hopes the vio­la­tion can be resolved in a timely man­ner with­out a cita­tion being issued.

Andrian also said that the trustees received a let­ter from the Delaware County Recorder remind­ing them of their duty to record var­i­ous zon­ing doc­u­ments at their county Recorder office.

The trustees sent a request for engi­neer­ing assis­tance for an inter­sec­tion study of pos­si­ble four-way stop signs at Miller Paul Road and Cen­ter vil­lage Road and Harlem and Cen­ter Vil­lage Roads, due to the recent fatal acci­dent at Miller Paul and Cen­ter Vil­lage roads intersection.

The trustees also dis­cussed con­cerns with the repairs of Bevel­heimer and Gor­such roads, and the sta­tus of the Ohio Pub­lic Works Com­mis­sion grant appli­ca­tion for Green Cook Road.

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. All Harlem Town­ship trustee, zon­ing, and board of zon­ing appeals ses­sions com­ply with the man­dates of Ohio’s Sun­shine Laws and are open to the public.
