Commissioners enter Strasburg annexation onto journal, send petition for legal review
Summary
The board entered an annexation petition from the Village of Strasburg (parcels #19-00188-004 and -005) onto the Commissioners' Journal under O.R.C. 709.02(D) and forwarded the matter to the prosecutor and county engineer for legalities; Commissioner Greg Ress said it was "nice to see this annexation is finally approved and moving forward."
Tuscarawas County commissioners on April 1 entered a petitioned annexation by the Village of Strasburg onto the commissioners' journal and referred the matter to the county prosecutor and county engineer for legal review under Ohio Revised Code 709.02(D).
The annexation petition was submitted by the Village of Strasburg via agent Terrence L. Seeberger for parcels #19-00188-004 and #19-00188-005. The motion to enter the annexation on the journal was moved by Commissioner Mitch Pace, seconded by Commissioner Greg Ress, and passed with Commissioner Kristin Zemis absent.
Commissioner Greg Ress commented during discussion that "it is nice to see this annexation is finally approved and moving forward," reflecting the board's view that the administrative step allows downstream legal and technical review by the prosecutor's and engineer's offices. The record shows the matter will proceed through those offices for legalities and any further actions.
The board took no immediate final action to change property control; the entry onto the journal records and forwards the petition for required review under state statute.
