Trustees schedule further review of Norwich right-of-way regulation policy after attorney review
Summary
Chair Kelli Arthur Hykes and Township Administrator Jamie Fisher discussed a proposed right-of-way regulation resolution; Fisher said the township attorney is reviewing the draft and trustees agreed to revisit the matter at the Feb. 17 meeting after clarifying liability and process questions.
At the Feb. 3 Norwich Township Board of Trustees meeting, Chair Kelli Arthur Hykes asked Township Administrator Jamie Fisher to review prior right-of-way policy materials after a resident complaint prompted renewed attention.
Administrator Jamie Fisher told trustees that the township attorney is reviewing a draft resolution that would formalize the right-of-way regulation policy and that she had explained the proposed policy in detail to the board. Trustee Rick Tidd asked clarifying questions about injury liability arising from hazards in the right-of-way; Fisher read the attorney's written response to that question during the discussion.
Brian Rothenberg said he had met with Chief Dave Baird, Administrator Fisher and the township attorney on Jan. 9 and listed items discussed at that meeting; he said the board would continue consideration of these items at the next meeting. The minutes record that trustees scheduled additional discussion on the right-of-way policy for the Feb. 17, 2026 meeting, with no formal vote taken on Feb. 3.
The minutes do not record the full text of the draft resolution, the attorney's response beyond Fisher's reading of it, or any immediate changes to township practice. Trustees framed this as a policy review and follow-up rather than a final decision.
