Trustees renew street‑lighting contracts and approve tree‑anchor project at Delhi Town Square
Summary
The board renewed several street‑lighting district contracts and approved a contract for the Delhi Town Square tree anchor and patio extension, including adopting emergency declarations and dispensing with second readings.
At the Aug. 13 meeting trustees voted to renew street‑lighting contracts for multiple subdivisions and adopted a resolution authorizing a contract for a tree anchor project at Delhi Town Square (DTS). The street‑lighting renewal was described as a periodic reestablishment of districts and setting a new rate when a new supplier comes in; the resolution cited Ohio code sections governing lighting district assessments.
Administrator Miller and staff said the DTS tree‑anchor contract was part of a planned project to extend the patio area north of the lawn bar and provide a new placement for the township's 30‑foot Christmas tree during the holiday season. "This was part of a planned project to extend the patio area, to the north side of the, the lawn bar," Miller said. The project was described as providing expanded patio seating during the lawn season and space for the annual tree lighting.
Trustees declared emergencies and dispensed with second readings on both matters and approved the resolutions by roll call. The resolutions were read on the record with numbers provided during the meeting: the lighting district renewals and the DTS tree anchor contract were both adopted. Staff said further construction and coordination will follow the contractual process.
Why it matters: The DTS project affects public programming and amenities at Delhi Town Square; lighting district renewals set assessment rates that affect local taxpayers and homeowners in those districts.
