Hamilton Township trustees approve property sale, new public works fund and vendor rules; accept minutes and bills

Hamilton Township’s Board of Trustees approved a package of routine and policy actions at its July 1 regular meeting, including authorization for the private sale of property judged unneeded for township use, creation of a new public works facility fund and updates to the township’s transient vendor rules.

Trustees also voted to accept the Clerk’s Journal and to record audio and video as the official minutes for the July 1 meeting and the June 25 special meeting, and they approved the bills presented to the board. The board moved and approved a purchase of a cemetery deed and an amendment to the Hamilton Township roster.

The public works facility fund was established to receive bond proceeds expected on July 29, a staff member said during the meeting. Trustees were told a new fund number will be issued to manage those proceeds. The board recorded roll-call approvals for each of these measures.

The transient vendor resolution update was discussed and adopted at the same meeting (details of that change are covered in a separate report). Trustees heard a brief public-comment period; one resident, Brad Turner, thanked staff for responsiveness on sidewalk inquiries.

The meeting concluded after staff and trustee updates on finance and public works projects; a motion to adjourn passed and the board closed the session at approximately 6:17 p.m.
