Administrator: new pumper and ladder are arriving; public works credited for heavy snow response
Summary
Administrator Mister Wright said a new pumper is being wrapped, a ladder truck is being outfitted, and the Mounts Park pre‑construction meeting will be scheduled; he praised public works crews who worked 14.5 hours and applied roughly 100 tons of salt during a recent snowstorm.
During the administrator’s report, Mister Wright updated trustees on vehicle deliveries, a park project and the township snow response.
Wright said the new pumper truck is currently being wrapped and should enter service soon; the ladder truck ordered earlier is in Springfield undergoing final outfitting. He said crews are already training on new equipment and that a formal "pushing in" ceremony for the ladder will be scheduled once the apparatus is in service.
Wright also said staff assigned the Mounts Park construction contract to Evans Landscaping and that a pre‑construction meeting will be scheduled with the contractor and design engineer. He asked staff to coordinate with the trustees and project manager for next steps.
On public works performance, Wright said crews worked about 14.5 hours during a recent snow event and spread roughly 100 tons of salt that night, and he said the township received several compliments on the response.
Trustees used the comments period to remind residents of the Dec. 17 employee appreciation meeting at 10:30 a.m. and the Station 76 tree‑lighting and drone show on Saturday; trustees also flagged a zoning PUD Stage 3 review to be scheduled near the next meeting.
