Dog Park Proposal
The trustees resumed discussion regarding the dog park proposal, with the location being on the front acreage at 310 S. Bridge Road. Ms. Rozak stated that the critical question proposed at the February, 23rd, 2011 regular meeting was “Being that a portion of that property was purchased with Road and Bridge funds, can we put a dog park on that particular property. “ Ms. Rozak then stated that she had contacted Mark Mulligan on February 25th, 2011 and the short answer was “yes”. Ms. Rozak proceeded to read Mr. Mulligan’s response which was as follows:

The Response
We do not have to let the land lay fallow. A dog park does not change how the land can be used. We do not need to cordon it off and put up a sign that says for road and bridge purposes only. We are not erecting a building. A fence can be moved and a parking area will always be useful.

In looking at the whole acreage we own, the majority was purchased with general fund dollars. The cost of brush chipping and leaf removal has been paid for with general fund dollars, not road and bridge funds.

We will simply be allowing people to use the property. We can put in picnic tables and even call it a rest area, for both people and pets since it is a main artery into the township and may be useful for people to pull over and look at their map or stop for a picnic.

Mr. Scott reported he had received a different opinion for the Auditor of State’s Office. Mr. Scott then read the response from Belinda Miller, Chief Project Manager of Local Government Services.
The Response
Your question regarding the use of land acquired with money from the Road and Bridge Fund for a dog park. This would not be an appropriate expenditure of Road and Bridge monies. Either the land must be used for road and bridge purposes or the General Fund could reimburse the Road and Bridge Fund for the original purchase price of the land and then the land could be used for any purpose.

Regarding the difference of opinions, Ms. Rozak stated what Mark Mulligan looked at was the entire acreage owned and the fact that the majority of this property was purchased with general fund dollars. Ms. Rozak then stated the Mr. Mulligan’s key concern was the erecting of a building. Ms. Rozak also stated that Mr. Mulligan had indicated to her that a fence was a temporary structure.
Mr. Hirt stated that the township had been approached years before regarding using this land for pee wee football. At the time, Mr. Mulligan had determined that this was an “incidental use” and the land could be used for this purpose. Mr. Hirt also stated that no building was being erected and that a fence could be taken down within hours and used elsewhere if in fact the township wanted to build a maintenance facility at this location in the future. Lisa Bruno questioned Mr. Hirt and Ms. Rozak regarding how they could ignore the response from the State Auditor’s Office and a brief discussion followed.

Mr. Scott stated that he was not opposed to a dog park. He was opposed to the location of the dog park. Mr. Scott then proceeded to explain the development of the Park District in which a dog park was a part of the proposal to create a multi-use facility, with a fitness center, trails, and parking. Mr. Scott reported that the committee was currently in the stages to have a levy placed on the November ballot. Mr. Scott also explained the steps the committee has taken to make the park district a reality and the procedures that would be followed during the creation of the district.

Regarding the creation of a Park District, residents voiced their concerns and questioned if the levy would pass and what the time frame was to make this multi-use facility a reality. Others questioned which fund would be paying for the dog park, what the actual costs were and if there would any other locations throughout the township for the dog park. Another question proposed was what would happen to the 310 S. Bridge Road.


After a very in depth discussion amongst the trustees and the residents in support of and opposed to the creation of a dog park at the property located at 310 S. Bridge Road the following action was taken.
.

State Auditor Information
Ms. Rozak noted that the board held a special meeting to cancel the contract to purchase a 2011 Ford F450. Ms. Rozak provided the procedures to purchasing and equipping a vehicle when it is not available through state purchasing. The information was obtained from State Auditor, Ron Druckenmiller. Ms. Rozak stated that the key was when the entire package will cost over $25,000.00; if it cannot be obtained from state purchasing then it has to be advertised and bid. Ms. Rozak then asked Mr. Scott if he wanted to proceed with advertising and bidding for the purchase of a truck. Mr. Scott reported that he and Mr. Dress were currently exploring other options and the deadline to receive a 2011 pricing was May 11th, 2011.

Ms. Rozak and Ms. Seamon will work together to obtain a policy for Danbury Township.

Anthem Life Insurance Renewal
Ms. Seamon provided the trustees with the information she received from Frank Harmon of the Ohio Insurance Services Agency, Inc. regarding a proposal to switch life insurance companies which was proposed by Ohio Public Entity Consortium Life Insurance Program. Ms. Seamon explained that she had e-mailed the proposed plans to switch from Anthem Life to The Hartford to County Prosecutor, Mark Mulligan due the fact that it was a considerable savings for the township.
Ms. Seamon was advised by Mr. Mulligan that non-elected Township employees could be switched to The Hartford Plan but the elected employees could only be switched over as each takes a new term of office.
