Summary
At a special Oct. 9 meeting, the Norwich Township Board of Trustees unanimously approved a $661,561.04 payment to Franklin County Engineers for 2025 Safety Services Building parking-lot improvements and authorized a $470,000 transfer between township accounts to cover the City of Hilliard’s share.
The Norwich Township Board of Trustees voted unanimously Oct. 9 to approve payment of $661,561.04 to the Franklin County Engineers for parking-lot improvements tied to the 2025 Safety Services Building project and to move $470,000 between township accounts to cover the City of Hilliard’s portion of the cost, according to the board’s minutes.
Vice Chairman Rick Tidd moved to approve the payment to the Franklin County Engineers; the motion was seconded by Sonny Cantrell and passed on a 3–0 vote (Cantrell: Yes; Tidd: Yes; Young: Yes) as Motion #251009.01. The minutes record the total amount as $661,561.04, with portions split and some portions charged 100% to the City of Hilliard.
Tidd then moved to transfer $470,000 from account 1000-110-730-0000 to account 1000-110-359-2012 to pay the Franklin County Engineers for the City of Hilliard’s share of the parking-lot improvements; Cantrell seconded and the board approved the transfer unanimously (Motion #251009.02). The motion and fund codes were taken from the board’s recorded actions.
The meeting minutes identify Township Administrator Jamie Fisher and Fire Chief Dave Baird as present. Fire Chief Dave Baird asked trustees to review calendars for upcoming interviews; no personnel dates were set in the minutes.
The board adjourned its special meeting at 1:15 p.m. after Vice Chairman Tidd moved to adjourn; the motion was seconded by Cantrell and recorded as Motion #251009.03. The minutes do not specify subsequent steps for contract execution or project timeline beyond the payment and transfer approvals.
Clarifying details recorded in the minutes include the total payment amount ($661,561.04), the explicit fund-transfer amount ($470,000) and the two account numbers involved (1000-110-730-0000 and 1000-110-359-2012). The minutes say portions of the payment are charged 100% to the City of Hilliard but do not detail the exact split between township and city shares.
