Road department outlines CDBG paving list and drainage fixes for Ross Township
Summary
Road superintendent Paul Bulak presented a nine-street CDBG paving recommendation tied to a $110,000 grant and described ditching work to address a perennial spring on Winding Knoll Drive; trustees agreed to submit the list to the county for bidding.
Road Department representative Paul Bulak presented a recommended paving list of nine streets, including Fenn Road, for a Community Development Block Grant-funded paving project that would be bid by the county. Bulak said the township was awarded roughly $110,000 for the project and recommended paving all nine streets as a package to maximize the grant's benefit despite uncertain final contractor estimates.
Bulak also described a drainage project on Winding Knoll Drive where a buried pipe and spring created standing water for decades; the department installed a 4-inch field tile to carry spring water down the ditch and planned additional dirt work and grass restoration when soils dry. Trustees discussed timing, right-of-way access and neighbor outreach; Bulak said he would notify affected residents before final work.
Trustees approved the townshipsubmission process to the county and confirmed that the township will pay vendors and be reimbursed by the county portal for CDBG work, giving the township more control over vendors.
What happens next: The road list will be submitted to the county for bid by the August 1 deadline and staff will coordinate resident notification for the ditching work.
