Village and Township approve Resolution 5426 on Indian Cemetery in joint meeting
Summary
In a joint session, the Mount Gilead Village Council and Township Trustees suspended the reading of and then adopted Resolution 5426 concerning the Indian Cemetery. Trustees also discussed joint grant opportunities for road and park projects.
Mount Gilead’s Village Council met jointly with Township Trustees and passed Resolution 5426 related to the Indian Cemetery during the joint session.
The council voted to suspend the formal reading of the resolution and then adopted it by roll call; members recorded “Yes” votes for the motion. The transcript records the item as "Resolution 5426 for the Indian Cemetery" but does not provide text of the resolution in the meeting record.
Trustees used the joint session to offer several points of cooperation: they said a township-affiliated grant writer is available to help the village apply for joint grants, and suggested collaborative projects including paving near the bridge at Bell Wire/Orchard Drive and other roadway maintenance projects. Trustees asked the council to designate a representative to attend the township’s next meeting to discuss potential applications and projects.
Trustees and councilors also explained a recent decision to use a battery-operated generator to supply power at the cemetery for occasional events rather than trenching for a permanent pedestal and new service. According to the trustees’ account, removal of a front-entrance building eliminated the prior electric feed; estimated installation costs and monthly service charges made a portable generator the more economical short-term solution, and the township contributed to that purchase.
The joint meeting adjourned and the Village Council reconvened its regular session to continue agenda business.
