Trustees approve routine minutes, bills and a package of resolutions including lighting assessments and private police-property sale

At its May 21 meeting, the Hamilton Township Board of Trustees approved several routine and finance-related items in a single series of motions.

The board approved the clerk's journal and accepted audio/video recordings as the official minutes of the May 21 meeting. Trustees then voted to accept the bills presented to the board.

Resolutions approved included: • Resolution 25-0604A: authorizing compensation for assistant fiscal officer Ellen Horman "pursuant to ORC 5.15 0.12." The resolution was moved and seconded and carried on a voice vote. • Resolution 25-0604B: authorizing special assessments for artificial lighting in certain lighting districts; the board approved the assessments after staff explained how the township handles Duke Energy bills and assesses properties to recoup costs. • Resolution 25-0604D: adopting a written post-issuance compliance policy in connection with the issuance of tax-exempt and tax-preferred obligations (explained as required annual compliance under federal rules). • Resolution 25-0604E: authorizing private sale of unneeded and unfit-for-use property in the police department; the board approved the private sale.
