Residents press Perry Township for Community Center maintenance, propose grant-funded outdoor upgrades

Perry Township Board · August 12, 2025

Summary

At the Aug. 12 meeting, resident Mark Kesner thanked volunteers, said Patton Electric will install kitchen outlets paid by the center, and said he will prepare a grant application with Commissioner Rohanna for outdoor electric receptacles, a water spigot and a new flag pole. Neighbors also raised mowing and parking concerns.

Mark Kesner, a Community Center volunteer, used the public-comment period of the Perry Township meeting on Aug. 12 to thank township volunteers and outline near-term improvements at the center. He said Patton Electric will install new kitchen outlets to accommodate crockpots and roasters and that the Center will pay for the work. Kesner told the board he spoke with Commissioner Rohanna about applying for a grant for outdoor upgrades and said he will prepare the grant application himself.

Resident Vicki Lawson raised operational concerns, asking township officials to tell J&A Landscape not to park trucks in the centers parking lot on Wednesdays and saying the mowing, trimming and sidewalk cleaning have been insufficient. The board said supervisors will follow up with Mr. Anderson, who handles grounds maintenance. Bonnie Fox asked about contacting the Code Enforcement Officer; the minutes record that Mark Gordon will reach out to her on Monday to arrange that contact.
