Trustees approve minutes, bills and budget tweaks; authorize signing for Bluejay Ventures purchase
Summary
At the Dec. 9 Crosby Township trustees meeting the board approved minutes and bills, adopted Resolution 16-2019 to adjust appropriations, authorized a trustee to sign a property consolidation and closing for a purchase from Bluejay Ventures LLC, and voted to enter executive session on personnel.
Crosby Township trustees unanimously approved a slate of routine and financial measures during their Dec. 9 meeting, including approval of the Nov. minutes and payment of township bills.
The board adopted Resolution 16-2019 to increase appropriations across several accounts, including a $42,500 increase to the fire district payroll line, raising that fund to $417,500. The fiscal officer summarized the changes as increases to “other expenses” and purchase-service line items before the trustees voted to adopt the measure. A roll call recorded Mr Dole, Mr Niehaus and Mr Heiss voting in favor.
Trustees also authorized representation for a pending property purchase from Bluejay Ventures LLC. Counsel presented a consolidation plat and recommended that Trustee Jim Neehaus be authorized to sign the consolidation and handle the closing on the township’s behalf; the motion passed on roll call with the three trustees voting yes.
Near the meeting’s end trustees voted to move into an executive session to discuss personnel and salary matters. The motion passed by roll call, with all trustees recorded as voting yes. The board set its next regular meeting for Jan. 13, 2020 at 7 p.m. and scheduled the organizational meeting for Jan. 2, 2020 at 7:30 a.m., noting the requirement to advertise the organizational meeting at least 10 days in advance.
