Agency reports local service numbers; Oak Run Township asks commissioners to check sewer/ditch rumor
Summary
An agency representative reviewed program results for Madison County (about 2,620 local clients out of 9,193 served regionally and $464,672 in tax refunds generated via a Lafayette clinic); during public comment an Oak Run Township representative asked the board to investigate a rumor about a sewer/ditch alignment along Deer Creek.
An agency representative presented a regional service report and highlighted Madison County results, then a township representative used public comment to ask the commissioners to investigate a local rumor about sewer work.
The presenter told the board the agency served roughly 9,193 unduplicated households across a six‑county service area during the year and that roughly 2,620 of those households were in Madison County. The presenter discussed program work including a mobility manager assignment, a senior carpet/vehicle‑safety outreach event and a family of eight that exited a local homeless shelter. He also reported a free tax‑clinic effort in Lafayette that produced about $464,672 in refunds for local residents and estimated savings of roughly $122,000 compared with paid tax preparation services.
During public comment a representative from Oak Run Township said a long‑term resident reported a rumor that a sewage line or ditch might be routed along Deer Creek/Route 56 toward Mount Sterling rather than along the existing state route easements. Commissioners and staff said they had no knowledge of such a project; staff suggested the resident contact the utility Mid Ohio, and the chair said he would reach out to confirm whether anything was planned and would report back.
No board action was taken on either the agency report or the public comment request at the meeting.
