Norwich trustees ask MORPC to transfer $35,000 grant, split between seniors project and firehouse renovation
Summary
Trustees voted to request a $35,000 grant transfer through MORPC, proposing $17,500 for a senior‑services addition at the municipal park and $17,500 for renovation of the #1 firehouse; if the township cannot use the funds they will be transferred to the city.
Norwich Township trustees moved and voted to request a $35,000 grant transfer through MORPC, splitting the funds into two $17,500 portions: one to support a senior‑citizens project (an addition to the municipal park building) and one to begin renovation of the #1 firehouse.
Durland L. Workman made the motion and Mr. Rice seconded it; the minutes record the vote as unanimous. The action followed discussion with representatives of the senior group, who expressed a preference to expand the municipal park center rather than purchase Wesley Chapel as a meeting site. MORPC representation at the meeting (recorded in the minutes as Mrs. Karen Ramey) indicated the transfer might be possible and that trustees should check eligibility and paperwork.
The trustees recorded that the city of Hilliard had requested part of the $35,000 in past discussions; the minutes state that if the township is unable to use its portion, the funds would be transferred to the city. Trustees instructed the clerk to pursue the necessary letters and documentation to secure the transfer and to coordinate with MORPC on next steps.
The minutes do not provide additional budget details, such as the source of the $35,000 beyond the MORPC grant reference, nor do they include a formal resolution number for the request. The recorded motion passed on a unanimous vote as noted in the meeting record.
