Notice from the Ohio EPA of a public information session to be held July 2, 2008 in the Huron City Council Chambers on an application for permission to perform certain types of activities that impact water quality in the Lake Erie watershed.
A letter from Bill and Sharon Coder of the Ottawa County Historical Society asking if the Township Trustees could influence the Ohio Dept. of Transportation to pave the shoulder of SR 163 when repaving is done in the next couple of years. Mr. Hirt will talk with Bob Kihlken, local ODOT representative about this request.
Ottawa County Community Foundation Grant Award
Ms. Rozak announced that the township has been awarded a $1500.00 Ottawa County Community Grant to be applied to the purchase of two recycled park benches and a handi-capped accessible table for Meadowbrook. She added the Board had previously agreed to have routing done on the benches if the grant was received.
Ms. Rozak moved to purchase two recycled park benches and a picnic table from Plastic Lumber Co., Akron, Ohio at a total cost of $1989.00 which includes routing and shipping costs.
