Norwich trustees endorse Brown Township permanent fire levy, request special meeting
Summary
Norwich Township trustees unanimously endorsed a Brown Township permanent fire levy during a Jan. 31 special meeting, citing contract terms on expenses and revenue; the board also requested a special meeting with Brown Township trustees to discuss the matter further.
The Norwich Township Board of Trustees unanimously endorsed a Brown Township permanent fire levy at a special meeting in Hilliard on Jan. 31, 2025. Trustee Charles Wm. Buck moved to endorse the levy; Trustee Rick Tidd seconded the motion and the vote was Buck—Yes, Tidd—Yes, Young—Yes. The motion is recorded as #250131.01.
The board discussed details of the levy in the context of the existing contract between Norwich and Brown townships, focusing on how expenses for Norwich Township and revenue from Brown Township would be handled under that agreement. Trustees said they requested a special meeting with the Brown Township Board of Trustees to follow up on contract and revenue particulars.
The endorsement is an expression of support by Norwich Township’s trustees; the minutes do not record that Norwich adopted any local levy measure itself. The transcript notes the discussion addressed expenses for Norwich Township and revenue Brown Township would provide per the contract, but it does not specify dollar amounts, projected tax impacts, or a timetable for any Brown Township vote.
The meeting was called to order at 1:03 PM by Chairman Greg Young and included Fire Chief Dave Baird and Assistant Fire Chief Jake Wells among those present. The trustees adjourned at 1:32 PM.
