Delhi Township approves $84,000 payment for Delhi Pike Columbia project, adopts four nuisance resolutions
Summary
Trustees passed Resolution 2026-30 to authorize a local payment to the State of Ohio for the Delhi Pike Columbia improvement project (a roughly $84,000 true-up as the township’s 20% match, with total local match about $345,000 from TIF) and unanimously adopted Resolutions 2026-31 through 2026-34 addressing nuisance properties and abatement assessments.
At the April 8 Delhi Township Board meeting trustees dispensed with second readings and adopted Resolution 2026-30, authorizing the township administrator to expend more than $10,000 in fiscal year 2026. Administrator and staff explained the authorization is for a true-up payment to the State of Ohio of just over $84,000, representing the township’s 20% local match for the Delhi Pike Columbia Improvement Project; the total local match paid from TIF to-date was reported as about $345,000 and $400,000 had been budgeted for the match.
The board moved to dispense with the second reading by majority voice vote and then adopted the resolution by roll call (recorded as 'Yes' votes). The administrator said the higher payment reflected a significant difference between the engineer’s estimate and the awarded bid and said the township had budgeted for possible change orders.
Community Development presented three nuisance-related resolutions (2026-31, 2026-32, and 2026-33) declaring accumulated debris or excessive vegetation nuisances at specified addresses, and Resolution 2026-34 certifying violation-abatement expenses at two properties for assessment to the county auditor. Trustees dispensed with second readings and adopted each resolution with recorded affirmative roll-call votes.
Department staff said the assessments will be forwarded to the auditor to appear on the June tax duplicate. No public testimony about the nuisance cases was recorded during the meeting.
The board concluded administrative and community development business and scheduled a records-commission meeting before the April 29 session to finalize RC-2 retention updates.
