Recreational Trails Grant
Trustees received notice from the Ohio Dept. of Natural Resources that the grant application for the Meadowbrook Marsh non-motorized loop trail was not selected for funding in the FY 2008 Recreational Trails Program (RTP). There were 53 applications requesting more than $6.4 million. Eight projects totaling $931,940 were approved. If requested by the Trustees, the application will be kept on file and considered in the FY 2009 grant cycle.
Mr. Hirt moved to have the current grant application retained by ODNR for consideration in the FY 2009 RTP grant cycle. Second by Mr. Englebeck. Vote: Mr. Englebeck-yes; Mr. Hirt-yes; Ms. Rozak-yes. Motion carried.
North Shore Blvd. Striping
Ms. Rozak read e-mail correspondence from Maria Smith and from Bryan Shrock who each related a recent incident which occurred at the intersection of North Shore Blvd. and SR 163. While in the left hand through/turn lane waiting to proceed to Englebeck Road, a Danbury police cruiser pulled up in the right hand lane next to them. When traffic cleared, both vehicles proceeded across SR 163 to Englebeck Rd., nearly colliding. They pointed out that instead of alleviating traffic congestion at this intersection the storage lane has created confusion and increased the potential for accidents.
Trustees said they approved the storage lane at the suggestion of ODOT in the hopes of improving traffic flow at this intersection. After a year-long trial period they agreed with Ms. Smith and Mr. Shrock that it has only created more problems. Police Chief Meisler and Road Supt. Dress agreed with this conclusion. The Board asked Supt. Dress to remove the storage lane as soon as possible.
Ms. Rozak will extend an invitation to Mike Stormer of ODOT to meet with the Board for the purpose of discussing other options for improving safety at the North Shore/SR 163 intersection.
Supplemental Appropriations
Ms. Rozak moved to approve supplemental appropriations as follows: $10,000 from 2031-760-720-0000 (Road and Bridge Fund, buildings) to 2031-330-420-0000 (Road and Bridge Fund, operating supplies) and $12,000 from 2031-760-720-0000 (Road and Bridge Fund, buildings) to 2031-330-190-0000 (Road and Bridge Fund, salaries). Second by Mr. Englebeck. Vote: Mr. Englebeck-yes; Mr. Hirt-yes; Ms. Rozak-yes. Motion carried.
Approve Payment of Bills
After examining the following bills in the amount of $ 23,717.25, Mr. Hirt moved that they be accepted and warrants for the various amounts be drawn. Second by Mr. Englebeck. Vote: Mr. Englebeck-yes; Mr. Hirt-yes; Ms. Rozak-yes. Motion carried.
