The Staunton Township Trustees approved the submission of the inventory list of township assets to the Miami County Auditor and Engineers Offices. The township owns a tractor, two trucks, a few tools, the township building and office furnishings. According to Trustee Bill Gearhart, "Our inventory is not too powerful."

The trustees agreed to request a meeting with Troy Fire Chief Matt Simons. The township's annual contract was forwarded to the trustees and the trustees would like to discuss the protection provided by the city. The contract according to the agreement increased approximately $10,000 over last year's contract for a total of $148,017 for 2016.

In Zoning and Planning, the township received notification that 117.2782 acres of the township will be annexed to Troy. Troy plans to use the properly for recreation purposes. However, the property will not be excluded from Staunton Township.

A public hearing will be held by the Miami County Board of Zoning Appeals to hear a request to reduce the front yard setback to 35 feet for the property at 390 W. Peterson.

Staunton Township Trustees plan to attend the Township Trustees Winter Conference in Columbus on January 29, 2016. Fiscal Officer Sarah Fine plans to attend January 28, and 29, 2016. She plans to obtain additional information concerning online fiscal records for the township. According to Fine, "If we participate in the online record keeping, our auditing fees will go down." However, Fine will have a better understanding once she obtains additional information at the conference.

The next meeting of the Staunton Township Trustees is scheduled for February 1, 2016 at 7:00 p.m. in the township building.
