Engineers. There is another meeting with Safe Built, the compa-
ny that can provide a building inspection program for Columbia
Township. The Drug Addiction Program is being held at 6:30
p.m. in Columbia High School. It is open to everyone, even stu-
dents, and will have graphic descriptions. This is a serious prob-
lem today. Everyone needs to be informed. Shred day is Saturday,
June 17, from 9 a.m.-Noon. The Trustees decided not to act on
the parking in the Columbia Reserve Subdivision. The LED stop
signs are up and functioning, thanks to the Columbia Communi-
ty Foundation for its generous donation of $1,412.50. The mayor
of Olmsted Falls told the Columbia Trustees that Olmsted Falls is
not interested in annexing any part of Columbia. What was said
about annexation by the Riverside Golf Course representatives
was not true. The Trustees voted to purchase an Escape through
State bid for the Zoning Inspector for $29,233.50.
New Business
The action decided by the Trustees for the situation on Pla-
inview Court is that the pipe will be removed and everything
put back the way it was. The Trustees voted to extend the mor-
atorium on medical marijuana to September 8. The bids were
awarded for materials. Crossroads will provide aggregate lime-
stone, recycled asphalt, tack coat and equipment. Koskosing will
provide crushed concrete and asphalt material.
Hot Stove would like to have extra portapots in the park for
June 17 & 18, during tournaments. The Trustees feel that Hot
Stove should provide for them. Sean Heidecker of Hot Stove
is working on the dugout project. So far we know that it will be
$30 annually on the township insurance to cover them. The street
lights at Boone and SR 82 are being replaced because they had
been taken down for the construction, but First Energy wants
to charge the Township for a light pole at West River Road and
Riverview. The Trustees are going to call them to ?nd out why.
Lou Price, a resident, has requested to cut a concrete street to put
in a sewer tap-in. The Road-Service Director is against it because
it could cause potential damage to the street. The resident will
have to bring his contractor in to the Trustees and Director to
discuss the County requirements and costs.
Committee Reports
Mr. Cunningham reported that the Lorain County Township
Association will meet April 20 in New Russia. Mr. Heidecker
reported that Southwest General Hospital will meet April 24;
NOACA will meet June 9; and the Northeast Ohio Township As-
sociation will meet April 30 in the Columbia Township Fire Sta-
tion. Mr. Musto had nothing for NEOSORD or LCCA. NOPEC
is sponsoring the 2017 Rockin’ on the River concert. It is located
in Lorain, at Black River Landing.
There were no Fiscal Of?cer’s Financial Requests. After
Community Input, the meeting was adjourned. The next regular
meeting will be on Monday, May 1, at 7 p.m. in the Town Hall.
