The West Chester Board of Trustees held its regular meeting on December 17, 2024, focusing on several key agenda items and concluding the year with important resolutions and community acknowledgments.

The meeting commenced with a motion to approve statutory resolution 55-2024, which affirms West Chester Township's participation in the Butler County Engineers' 2025 paving program. This program includes asphalt resurfacing and slurry seal applications. The motion received unanimous support from the trustees, highlighting the township's commitment to maintaining its infrastructure.

Following this, the board addressed item 31, concerning a request for a continuance regarding a major change for case number MC08-24 Kiefer Track 2 Lot 9. The trustees voted to grant the continuance until January 14, 2025, ensuring that the applicant has additional time to prepare.

During the meeting, there was an opportunity for citizen comments; however, no residents or business owners chose to address the board. The trustees then moved on to discussion items, where they shared holiday greetings and reflections on the year. Trustee Miss Jones expressed gratitude for the recent Pearl Harbor Day commemoration hosted by VFW Post 7696, emphasizing the importance of such events in the community.

The meeting concluded with acknowledgments of achievements, including congratulations to the West Chester Township team for receiving an auditor's award and to Colonel Rebholtz, who is set to start as the new chief of police on January 1, 2025. The trustees expressed their satisfaction with the progress made throughout the year.

As the meeting wrapped up, a motion to adjourn was made and seconded, marking the end of the final meeting of the year. The board will reconvene on January 14, 2025, as they continue to address the needs and interests of the West Chester community.
