Specialr Meeting
President Doug Baum called the meeting to order at
1st Public Speaks Session
Strad asked Scott Zollars if we could leave the
mowing price the same but charge a little extra for weed eating. Zollars said that would be good if he could
have two days instead of one to finish mowing Melscheimer. The Trustees agreed, but wanted a proposal
written up and presented to the Trustees.
Zollars said that he would get a proposal ready and get it to the
Trustees.
The new amount would be $510 dollars over two
days. A motion was made by Strad to
accept the mowing bid in 2007 with the ability to do it over two days. Seconded by Anstine.

ODOT to get the speed limit reduced…He said that Avery from Akron ODOT could
get it done. You need speed limit signs

gone to ODOT, but again, there is a meeting tomorrow with ODOT and the
Sheriff’s department as well as Tom Bosely, the Commissioner, is trying to get
the speed limit lowered temporarily.

Anstine stated that he will now mow Bowmont cemetery
free of charge. The Trustees agreed that
if it is free, they are willing to do that and not commit to another year of
paying Mr. Barns to do it.
Mr. Grooms asked if Stanley Miller could still use
the road. The Trustees stated that he
can go anywhere he wants.
Pahanish stated that we either need a new mower for
$5,300 with our trade, or spend $1,000 to fix the one we have. The Trustees agreed to fix the one we have
and use it to mow.
Strad stated that we need to have a more defined
agreement before we go into a certain project.
Baum stated that a mowable slope is not going to
happen at the road in questions. The
piece by the road should be steep, and then she can slope it at that point.
The Trustees agreed per what Pahanish agreed to with
the resident, that the yard will be sloped from the road as far back toward the
house as the Gradall will reach.
Baum stated that they went to the Golf Course to
look at the water problem, and Gary Conner from the Stark County Engineer drew
up a drawing which will cost around $4,200 for the pipe and then the expense of
putting it in.
The trustees decided that we will approach the Golf
Course owner with the option of the landowner to purchase the pipe and we cover
the cost of putting it in. If he decides
not to purchase the material, we will then dig an open swale instead of
installing the pipe.
The Trustees agreed that we want to widen
Some other projects discussed is fixing Elson,
possibly the paving of Briggle, and also start at Melsheimer and start going
down the hill.
Strad stated that we will start the Sheriff patrol
on April 5th and finish it up on October 29th for an
estimated cost of $40,719.41. A motion
was made by Strad to put a bid in to the Sheriff requesting this amount. Seconded by Anstine.

Pahanish also stated that he checked on the
reflector cost for the stop signs. It
comes in 30” pieces which cost $11.66 a piece.
It takes two pieces per sign. The
Trustees agreed to start putting these on the signs and gave Pahanish the
authority to purchase up to $1,000 to get started.
Pahanish also stated that a lot of road departments
are purchasing instant chains for there dump trucks. The cost is $1,560 a set per vehicle if we
install them or an additional $290 to have them installed.
The road grader needs a new set of tires. The Trustees want to hold off on that.
Hall sent a letter to the Stark County Coon Hunters
club to try and get in contact with the owner.
So far he hasn’t had any luck.
