Mr. Schweikert and Mr. Zaccardelli went to the Summit County Township Association meeting last Tuesday, March 4, 2014. Mr. Hunter Morrison from the Northeast Ohio Sustainable Communities Consortium (Vibrant NEO) spoke. Basically they are a non-profit organization that would like to override our zoning. Mr. Schweikert and Mr. Zaccardelli both believe we should have nothing to do with this organization.
Mr. Schweikert, Mr. Barrett and Mr. Zaccardelli are working on a recycling grant of between $4,000 and $5,000. Mr. Schweikert said the trustees need to make sure that Dave DeMassino is in charge of the recycling bins for twenty minutes in the morning and twenty minutes at the end of the day.

The township could possibly sponsor five or six people to attend. The cost is $40.00. Before acting upon this, we could see whether anyone would be interested.
Mr. Zaccardelli reported First Energy is done cutting for right now. They will be back when the greens start coming up and spray with an herbicide. They will let us know what the herbicide will be. They will probably pull the wires through in mid to late summer and be fully functional by June 2015.
