Carrolton Council hires firefighter, reviews 45-acre donation and files sidewalk design grant application
Summary
Council approved hiring Landon McClelland to the fire department, noted receipt of a proposed donation of about 45 acres on Kensington Road, reported community interest in memorial trees for 5th Street Park, and said a $192,000 grant application was filed for sidewalk design work; Village Administrator Mark Wells was recognized on his final meeting before retirement.
The Carrolton Village Council approved hiring a new member of the fire department and reviewed several community and planning items at its Jan. 28 meeting.
Bill Wells presented the fire department report and introduced Landon McClelland, who seeks to join the department. Councilmember Locke moved to hire McClelland and Barto seconded; the motion passed by roll-call vote with Butterfield, Locke, Tangler, Parker and Barto voting yes.
Village Administrator Mark Wells reported meetings with Spectrum and AT&T about future telephone and internet services and said the village has attended a Tuscarawas County safety meeting tied to BWC rate-reduction qualification. He also said the village received a Property Donation Agreement from the Western Reserve Land Conservancy for approximately 45 acres on Kensington Road.
The administrator noted receipt of a custodial-services proposal from current provider Brittany Melville for $1,850 per month (an ordinance was prepared for council action). He also said the village received requests from residents to donate trees in honor or memory of loved ones for planting in the 5th Street Park; the vendor Greens and Things provided suggested plantings and pricing and offered to coordinate purchase and planting for consistency.
Councilmember Locke asked whether the village administrator had discussed sidewalks with county commissioners; the minutes say an application was filed for a $192,000 grant for the design phase of a sidewalk project. Council thanked village employees for snow removal over the weekend and recognized that this was Mark Wells's last meeting before retiring after 10 years of service.
The meeting adjourned at 7:15 P.M.
