Trustees approve routine warrants, staffing changes and small capital purchases
Summary
At its Jan. 13 meeting, the Morgan Township Board of Trustees approved a series of routine motions including minutes and warrant approvals, a purchase order to Butler County Emergency Management Agency, the rehiring of an administrative assistant and rate and pay adjustments for the community center and staff.
The Morgan Township Board of Trustees on Jan. 13 approved a package of routine administrative and financial items, including minutes, warrant payments, a small emergency-management payment and personnel actions.
The board voted to approve minutes from the Dec. 23, 2024 meeting and to approve warrants (read aloud as “payment number 114 through 2024 through 47‑2025 and warrant number 13004 through 13030, for a total of 126 $1,639.33” in the meeting record). Trustees also approved a purchase order of $2,976.05 to the Butler County Emergency Management Agency for the township’s 2025 per-capita payment from Fund 1000.
Trustees approved personnel items: the rehiring of Chrissy Hill as a full-time administrative assistant to the trustees and assistant fiscal officer at her current rate of pay, and the appointment of Dan Hirsch to part-time employee status. The board also approved community center rental rate increases for 2025 — the front room to $200 and the back room to $250 — and confirmed that pay increases approved at the Dec. 23, 2024 trustee meeting would take effect Jan. 5, 2025.
Several motions were moved, seconded and recorded as approved during the meeting. Where specific roll-call votes were read aloud, the meeting transcript records trustees responding “Yes” to the roll calls; motions were followed by the chair’s statement, “Motion approved.”
The approvals were enacted without extended public debate. The meeting record shows trustees asking routine administrative follow-ups (for example about timing of an incoming bank representative) and scheduling standard next steps (audit timing and signature deadlines for township highway mileage certification).
