Trustees move forward on house‑numbering resolution and opt out of HUD participation
Summary
Norwich trustees advanced a first reading of a house‑numbering resolution and voted to opt out of HUD community development programs for the next three years, citing limited local benefit and prior nonparticipation.
Trustees reviewed and approved a first reading of a proposed house‑numbering resolution and agreed to forward the draft to the county prosecutor for form and content review. The board scheduled a public hearing to finalize numbering rules and indicated that the Franklin County Engineer would take over numbering responsibilities for private drives as of July 1, 1987 in some cases.
Separately, after receiving a request from the Franklin County Commissioners to remain in the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) program for potential grant eligibility, trustees voted to 'Opt Out' of HUD participation for the next three years. Trustees said the township had never qualified for the HUD funds in prior cycles and therefore the board deemed participation unlikely to yield local benefit; the motion passed with two 'Aye' votes recorded (Mr. Junk and Mr. Rice). The clerk was instructed to file appropriate notices.
