Norwich trustees accept two‑year policing contract with Franklin County Sheriff’s Office
Summary
After reviewing competing offers, trustees voted to accept a two‑year contract with the Franklin County Sheriff’s Office for township police coverage; the motion was moved by Mr. Workman, seconded by Mr. Junk, and recorded as approved in the minutes.
Trustees voted to accept a two‑year policing contract with the Franklin County Sheriff’s Office after reviewing competing proposals from a private offer and a city submission.
Discussion at the meeting canvassed alternatives, including proposals from a private contractor and the city. The minutes record a motion by D. L. Workman to accept the two‑year contract with the Franklin County Sheriff’s Office; the motion was seconded by Webster D. Junk and recorded as carrying on vote. The contract was signed and turned over to a sheriff’s office representative (noted as Sgt. May in the minutes) for delivery.
The minutes do not include a clean numeric total in the scanned text for the contract amount (the line is garbled in the record); the minutes therefore list the cost as not specified in the readable text. Trustees thanked the competing proposers for bringing bids and noted they would consider full‑time coverage options in the future.
The action formalizes the sheriff’s office as the township’s policing provider for the contract term recorded in the minutes and directs township staff to coordinate execution and delivery with the sheriff’s office.
