Morgan Township approves payment list, certifies volunteer fire fund board and OKs truck repairs
Summary
At its Jan. 27 meeting, the Morgan Township Board of Trustees approved the payment listing totaling $72,482.64, certified the 2025 volunteer fire department fund board and approved a purchase order to repair two salt trucks for $7,012.23. Trustees also recessed into executive session and then returned before adjourning.
Morgan Township Board of Trustees members on Monday, Jan. 27, 2025, approved the township’s warrants and payments, certified the volunteer fire department fund board for 2025 and authorized a repair purchase order for two road department salt trucks.
The board approved a payment listing covering payment numbers 48-2025 through 86-2025 (including 84-2025) and payment numbers 13031 through 13043 for a total of $72,482.64. The trustees voted yes on the motion to approve the warrants after a roll call; the motion passed.
Chief Mary of Morgan Township Fire & EMS asked the trustees to certify the 2025 volunteer fire department fund board. “I need a motion to certify the 2025 volunteer fire department fund board for Morgan Township,” she said, describing the five-member board’s role in reviewing claims related to line-of-duty injury or death. Trustees approved the certification after a brief clarification that one member, Rob Brim, would serve as an at-large community member.
The road department requested a then-and-now purchase order to Zubin Spring Service for $7,012.23 to replace leaf springs on two salt trucks. The road representative said the repairs were necessary because both trucks required new rear leaf springs. The trustees approved the PO by voice/roll-call vote.
The board also voted to enter an executive session under the statutory exception for matters required to be kept confidential; the motion and the subsequent motion to come out of executive session were both approved. The meeting adjourned shortly after the board returned to open session at 8:05 p.m.
