Township board approves $6K medical services and discusses community park updates

Morgan Township officials reported significant progress in community safety and infrastructure during the trustee meeting held on July 14, 2025. The fire department's response time continues to meet federal and state standards, averaging just 1 minute and 38 seconds. In June alone, the department conducted 14 business inspections and installed four additional smoke detectors, benefiting three families.

The meeting also addressed financial matters, with the approval of a purchase order for $6,000 for medical direction services, ensuring continued support for emergency medical operations. Additionally, a $5,000 purchase order for asphalt repairs on township roads was approved, highlighting ongoing efforts to maintain local infrastructure.

In community development news, a potential donation of a train station display from resident Don Gill was discussed. The township is exploring the feasibility of relocating the display to the community park, which could enhance local recreational offerings.

Weather permitting, grading work around the playground is set to begin soon, with construction slated to follow. However, officials acknowledged that inclement weather could delay these plans.

The meeting also included updates on zoning regulations, with a resolution passed regarding shared driveways, which will require board approval at the next public meeting. This change aims to streamline the process for property owners seeking to share access.

As the township prepares for upcoming projects and community enhancements, officials remain committed to addressing resident concerns and improving local services. The next meeting is anticipated to further discuss these developments and ensure community needs are met effectively.
