Village administrator: residents will be moved to 95-gallon trash carts unless they opt out by March 31
Summary
At the Feb. 23 Carrolton council meeting the village administrator reported Kimball will switch households to 95-gallon waste carts unless residents call the number on a mailed flyer by March 31 to retain 65-gallon carts; the administrator also reported a municipal building safety inspection found no issues and that a left-turn signal cabinet for SR 39/SR 43 is being ordered.
At the Carrolton Village Council meeting on Feb. 23, the village administrator reported several operational updates, including a planned change to residential trash carts and an upcoming traffic-signal installation.
Regarding solid-waste service, the administrator said the village met with Kimball officials about pickup routes and mailed a flyer with the month's billing. "Everyone will be switched to a 95 gallon cart unless they call the number provided in the flyer by March 31st and inform Kimball that they wish to retain their current 65 gallon cart," the administrator reported. The minutes do not state how many households will be affected or any changes to rates.
The administrator also reported that Columbia Gas completed the Municipal Building's yearly safety inspection with no issues noted, and that the village attended the monthly Tuscarawas County Safety meeting. On traffic infrastructure, the administrator said a left-turn traffic light cabinet is being ordered for the SR 39/SR 43 intersection and that the Ohio Department of Transportation had previously granted permission to install the new signal.
The monthly Police Department report was provided by Chief Timberlake; council members asked that staff provide a report on the village dog on a monthly basis going forward. Visitor Larry Taylor, Trebel's aggregation representative, attended the meeting to briefly discuss the village's existing aggregation rates, though no rate changes or proposals are recorded in the minutes.
The minutes do not record public comment on these operational matters. Council then proceeded to votes on routine financial matters and adjourned at 7:35 p.m.
Next steps: residents wishing to retain 65-gallon carts must contact the number on the flyer by March 31; the minutes do not list follow-up dates for the traffic cabinet installation or route changes.
