Administrator: curb work underway; auction sales and police toy drive announced
Summary
Village administrator Jenny Cameron reported curb work on High Street and pending asphalt paving on Eleanor and High Street, previewed a Hamilton County auction agreement and shared 2020 auction sales figures; the police chief announced a Dec. 6 toy drive and noted work on policing policy language.
At the Nov. 16 Village of Fairfax council meeting, Administrator Jenny Cameron updated the council on the 2020 street project and village surplus auctions and the police chief described community outreach plans.
Cameron said curb work on High Street has started and that once curb work is finished an asphalt subcontractor will pave Eleanor and High Street together. She told council that additional grinding was required in some locations because of an uneven pavement profile and that a change order is coming to cover that work. "So that change order is in the amount of $14,956, which would bring the total project to $358,368.50," Cameron said.
Cameron also previewed an ordinance to renew a two‑year agreement with Hamilton County to list the village’s surplus items on the county auction website. She reported gross auction sales for 2020 of $77,834.17, with the village’s net proceeds totaling $7,253.86; she said the county charges an 8% fee and handles photographing and posting items for sale.
Council members asked whether the township’s street sweeper was among auctioned items; Cameron confirmed it was included and said she would distribute a spreadsheet showing itemized sales and proceeds.
Police Chief announced the Fairfax Police Association’s toy drive on Dec. 6 from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. and discussed the department’s work on policy language following executive‑order guidance and review by Lexipol. The chief said a representative from Brightview (an addiction services provider) visited to leave outreach cards so officers or residents can refer people seeking treatment.
A council member raised a separate operational concern about not receiving Village of Fairfax email since Oct. 29; Administrator Cameron said she would check the administration portal, verify delivery, and follow up.
