FISCAL OFFICER’S BUSINESS

Year-To-Date Income/Expense Report

The Trustees have requested that a Year-to-Date Income/Expense Report be presented on a monthly basis. As of March 31, 2008, Washington Township has collected from all funds $7,811,145.30, and has dispersed in all funds $4,673,087.54, for a positive cash carryover of $3,138,057.76.

Appropriation Adjustment

The Township Appropriation Resolution is prepared prior to the end of each year and is based on estimated revenues and expenses for the current year. The County’s Certificate of Estimated Resources is based on actual year-end numbers supplied by the Township in January. The Township may not appropriate more than what is reflected in the Certificate of Resources. Adjustments are needed because the County reflects only 98% of property taxes to be collected plus the difference between the estimated and actual beginning of the year balances.

It was moved by Mr. Blair, seconded by Mr. Snyder, that the Board adjusts the 2008 Appropriation Resolution No. R2007-024 from $38,829,957 to $38,080,957 for the six funds as follows:

Fund#             Fund Name                         Account                          Increase

TOWN HALL

Tess Brewer, a resident of Centerville, who currently plays the role of Snail at Town Hall’s production of “A Year With Frog and Toad,” related how Town Hall has been a wonderful experience for her. She stated that Town Hall provides such great opportunities for kids. She indicated that not many kids get to enjoy the experience of working in a well put together community theater show with adult actors and children their own age. She thought it was so much fun being on stage. She thanked everyone for supporting Town Hall. Acting is her dream and with everyone’s help, her dreams are coming true.

Paige Honegger lives in Springboro and is in the fifth grade at Dennis Elementary. She performed as the Red Hen in one production and as Mole and various other animals in “A Year With Frog and Toad.” She indicated that Town Hall Theater is important to her because it has given her the opportunity to be on stage, which she loves. These opportunities have increased her confidence in performing in front of a lot of people.

Addi Helms is an 11 year old student who has performed in two shows at Town Hall Theater, “Seussical” and “A Year With Frog and Toad.” When she moved here two years ago, she moved from a country area with no theater. When she moved to Centerville, she found Town Hall. She was so excited and started to think of Town Hall as a second home. She is comfortable there and has made wonderful, talented friends. She said it is easy to trust people there because they care. She thanked everyone for supporting the theater.

situation and quickly arranged for a roofing contractor to replace the roof at no cost to the resident; and

Citizen Concerns

Richard Feldman, 7380 Yankee Street, stated that he realized that Yankee Street is a County road, not a Township road; however, he asked the Trustees to support his request for the County to allow a modification to parking on Yankee Street. In February the County decided to make Yankee Street a no parking zone. This has had a direct impact on him because he has lost parking for his guests. He is hoping the County Commissioners will modify their decision. He asked the Trustees about their position on this matter so that he can inform the County.

In response to Mr. Blair’s question, Mike Wanamaker indicated that he was approached approximately a year ago about a lot of vehicles that were for sale being parking along the roadway. The County Engineer called Mr. Wanamaker and asked if any complaints were received about this. Mr. Wanamaker informed him that there were some concerns. The County Engineer took the matter to County Commissioners and a resolution was adopted for a no parking zone.

Captain Dee Osterfeld indicated that there were also some concerns about visibility at the Yankee/Tarryton intersection. If the cars would not park so close to the intersection, this would no longer be an issue.

Mr. Blair asked Mr. Feldman if he was selling cars. Mr. Feldman said he was not.

Mr. Feldman indicated that his house is at the south end, quite a distance from Tarryton. He proposed keeping no parking at the north end so that Tarryton could have their clear visibility. He mentioned that the parking lane on the north end is also more narrow than at the south end. At his end, the parking lane is 15 to 16 feet wide from curb to white line.

Mrs. Young indicated that his request appears reasonable, but the concern is not only one of visibility, but also that Yankee Road is being used to sell cars. She asked Mr. Feldman how he believed this concern could be resolved.

Mr. Feldman proposed 4-6 hour limited parking and indicated that Captain Osterfeld suggested no overnight parking.

In response to Mr. Blair’s question, Mr. Feldman indicated that he had noticed the cars that were for sale, but was not bothered by them. He did, however, talk to several neighbors. Some of them indicated they were quite unhappy about the parking, one was indifferent, and two admitted they used the space for used cars.

In response to Mrs. Young’s question about parking on Penbrooke, Mr. Feldman indicated that it is not on his property and would be quite a walk.

Mrs. Young pointed out that any position taken by the Washington Township Board of Trustees would probably not make a difference to the County Commissioners. Mrs. Young asked if it would be agreeable to Mr. Feldman if the Trustees asked staff to take another look at this issue and then, possibly, the Trustees would write a letter to the County. Additionally, she wanted to drive by and take a look at the area herself.

Mr. Blair suggested a letter from staff might be appropriate.

Mrs. Young promised a letter as soon as possible.

LIQUOR PERMIT

Captain Osterfeld is in receipt of an application for the transfer of a liquor permit for a D5 and D6 (Spirituous Liquor for on-premises consumption; on-premises consumption and carry-out of wine, beer and mixed beverages until 2:30; on-premises consumption of intoxicating liquor on Sunday from 10:00 a.m. until midnight) to Himmelberg Realty LLC, DBA Atmosphere Nightclub, located at 507 Miamisburg Centerville Road. Captain Osterfeld has reviewed the application and sees no reason to object. No action taken.

Trustee Comments

Mrs. Young indicated that she went to Kid View, the high school Performing Arts Center where there was a wonderful display of art. She highly recommended it.

Mrs. Young also reported that on April 17 th there will be a Town Hall meeting at Rec West about how to keep our young people healthy and away from drugs and alcohol. Ohio’s former first lady, Hope Taft, will be speaking. There will also be some wonderful bands and entertainment. She encouraged everyone to go. It starts at 7:30 p.m. and will be done by 9:00 p.m.

The third thing she talked about was the joint meeting held with Centerville last Monday. This meeting was to hear the presentation of the University of Toledo report and how Washington Township and Centerville could cooperate in terms of government. She pointed out there are a number of errors in the report. She indicated that the Trustees are not in a position at this point to take any stand on the report because the report is not final and is not conclusive in terms of what benefits would be gained from any kind of merger.

Mr. Snyder mentioned the loss at Colerain Township of two firefighters. He reminded everyone that Washington Township went through this about ten years ago with a firefighter and a police officer. Condolences were extended to Colerain Township.

Mr. Snyder talked about work being done on the bridge on Rooks Road. Excavation of the bridge uncovered an older bridge. Some large pieces of cut stone were uncovered. This stone came from the Centerville quarry. The Park District will be placing these large stones in the parks for sitting on or just for historical purposes.

Mr. Blair indicated that the Trustees have been pressed for the last two or three months to cooperate with the City of Centerville on the City’s policy to merge. Since the issue came up, he believed the Trustees were obligated to look at it once again. He indicated that he has always believed that the two governments are being run very efficiently and at a low cost to the community they serve. He recognized that there is one community with two governments. Mr. Blair indicated that the University of Toledo admits in the study that the cost of government would go up if the two governments combined. Mr. Blair does not believe that any alternative where the cost of government goes up is an acceptable alternative. If there are efficiencies, then the efficiencies need to be shown. He also pointed out that neither government is in any financial difficulty, which could be a reason for a merger. He added that there are two governments and a valid reason for two governments. Washington Township is the older form of government, first surveyed in 1796, and is an accountable government. He expressed his pride in the fact that Washington Township cannot deficit spend and is highly accountable to the public. He indicated that, as the word “Trustee” implies, the Trustees have been entrusted with the finances to pay for services that the community wants and he believes the Trustees have done a wonderful job. Additionally, Mr. Blair did not see any reason to prolong any continued discussion of a merger. That would only serve to keep Washington Township and the City of Centerville separate and would create animosities. It is his wish to sit down and discuss with the City of Centerville the community’s problems, to find ways to serve the public better, to find ways to save taxpayers money and not to focus on forming a larger government that would not be more efficient.

ADJOURNMENT: 8:37 P.M.

All formal actions of the Board of Trustees of Washington Township concerning and relating to the adoption of resolutions and/or motions passed at this meeting were adopted in an open meeting; and of any of its committees resulting in such formal action, were in meetings open to the public, in compliance with the law, including Section 121.22 of the Ohio Revised Code.
