Lake Township trustees meeting Oct. 24
KEY ACTION Established a time limit for the public speaks portion of meetings.
DISCUSSION The time limit was issued in response to a public speaks segment about a proposed oil well that lasted about an hour at the previous meeting. The individual time limit will be “no more than three minutes and no more than one time per meeting.”
OTHER ACTION
• Agreed to send a notice to the owners of a property at 13300 Tippecanoe Ave. NW to remove “junk motor vehicles” from the property. The owners have 14 days after receiving the notice to remove the vehicles or prove the vehicles are usable.
• Authorized the purchase of an excavator from Southeastern Equipment Co. of North Canton at a cost not to exceed $90,000.
• Announced that letters have been sent to the Ohio Department of Natural Resources and the Ohio and U.S. Environmental Protection Agency expressing the trustees’ concerns about plans for an oil well on property near the Industrial Excess Landfill.
• Mentioned that the U.S. Department of Justice has provided a grant that will cover half of the cost of bulletproof vests for the Uniontown Police Department.
• Responded to the questions of a Uniontown couple about a ballot issue that seeks to expand the Uniontown Police district to provide township-wide protection except for within the village limits of Hartville. Uniontown Police Chief Harold Britt also responded to the couple’s criticism of the issue and its campaign literature.
